Silverstream Alpaca Farmstay & Farm Tour

"No heating in the cabin, it was so cold that it ruined our stay. It was freezing the whole night with blanket heaters only. The heat pump in the hall cannot fight against the cold. The host was great & friendly. Breakfast was minimal but adequate. But the cafe the host recommended had great food."

"Silverstream Alpaca Farmstay is a must-do experience for anyone who loves animals. We spent a night at this farmstay, and I can safely say this was the highlight of our trip. Kit and Sheryl are wonderful hosts, warm and hospitable and making sure our stay is enjoyable. Although Kit and Sheryl were busy preparing for the NZ Agricultural Show, Kit still made the time to take us on his truck to his other alpaca farm where we could feed and interact with his alpacas, and he was also very informative about his alpacas and answered so many of our questions patiently. He has a genuine love for his alpacas and it’s such a joy to see. And yes, the alpacas are utterly adorable, not to mention highly intelligent, and it’s interesting to learn about them. The accommodation is also charming and really comfortable. We had a large, spacious cottage to ourselves, it was clean and well-maintained, and the bed and furnishings were extremely comfortable. There are also beautiful flowers in front of our cottage and in the estate garden. Sheryl brought over breakfast items including bread, eggs, cereal, yoghurt, milk and spreads for us in the evening for our breakfast as well, which I think is such a lovely touch. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and we would recommend this farmstay and tour to anyone who loves animals."

"Came with our family from Australia to visit family and drive down to Queenstown to visit the snow. But came here for a night. Wow! We all loved Silverstream Alpaca Farm-stay and the farm Tour. It is definitely a hidden Gem for people wanting to visit Christchurch. Great alternative to a hotel stay. The accommodation was excellent. The whole family love the farm tour and our host was more than happy to share his knowledge and experience of running an alpaca farm. We were all able to get up close and personal experience with the Alpacas. Highly recommend a stay here."
