I’m a bit of celebrity around the farm and on social media. My fleece is super soft and luxurious, but even more than that, I’m apparently a one-of-a-kind, perfect specimen of an alpaca! I’m also as lovable as I am handsome, so pop into Shamarra Alpacas for a tour and a pat.

A glamorous damsel through and through, I’m a big fan of being groomed well ahead of a photo op (your next selfie on a farm tour). My big eyes look even better when my fleece is on fleek. And I’ve been known to wear the odd denim jacket or hat, depending on the season.

But don’t be intimidated by my flair for fashion; I’m always up for a solid cuddle like my other friends.

I absolutely adore wee human kiddos and alpaca babies alike! Arguably the friendliest of all the furry faces here at Shamarra, I like to get visits and snuggles year-round.

We take great pride in our environmentally friendly, sustainable and humane alpaca breeding practices and the natural luxury of the fleece that our alpacas produce.

Shamarra genetics are now very well known in New Zealand and overseas. Breeding for fleece means that we are looking for traits in our males and females that will progress the alpaca fleece industry.

Our success at shows is consistent, with the majority of our show teams winning impressive awards and accolades, including much-coveted supreme championship titles.

  • “The scenery from where we interacted with the alpacas was stunning. We met the males and females separately - with the males, we patted and gave them hugs. Then towards the end, we hand fed the female alpacas. The kind guides refilled our bowls when we ran out and we could feed the cuties until our session ended. Shoutout to Jess and Akira for making the whole experience such a memorable one! Was super duper impressed that they could recognise what seems like all of the alpacas by name etc. Both of them also very kindly offered to help my husband and I take photos/videos :) Highly recommended to those who are considering visiting!”

    Amazing experience! The alpacas are so cute. The staff is really dedicated to the animals and you can feel the passion for them. The view from the farm is stunning. They took really care of me and gave me a good time with the alpaca. I highly recommend this tour for each and everyone (solo traveller, group or family).

  • “Visited today for the full hands on experience with feeding and patting the alpacas. We were a couple minutes late and they accommodated for us even with the large group of people present. The staff are all very friendly and passionate about what they do which made it even better.”

As for the alpacas, INCREDIBLE animals! It was such a treat getting to mingle with them and see their different personalities.”
