“The reviews speak for themselves. This is a must visit place if you intent to visit the South Island. I can’t recommend this place enough! They have wonderful and cute alpacas. They look so happy! It’s refreshing to see such passionate care the owners take for their alpacas. The clothes you can buy are very well made and excellent gifts. Please come here!  ”

The staff are exceptional—warm, friendly, and incredibly welcoming. They go above and beyond to make the visit enjoyable. Highly recommended.  ”

“A fantastic experience at Shamarra Alpacas, especially for families with children. The alpacas are very calm, gentle, and clearly happy, which makes it a relaxed and enjoyable visit for kids of all ages. You can see how well cared for the animals are, and the whole place has a peaceful, welcoming feel. The hosts are friendly and knowledgeable, taking the time to explain things and make everyone feel comfortable. A great hands‑on experience and well worth the visit.”

“I loved this place! The tour was fantastic with an extremely knowledgeable guide and plenty of time to hang out with the alpacas and feed them. It was very educational, therapeutic, and fun. It even ends with snacks and refreshments courtesy of the staff! I purchased 2 lovely alpaca wool blankets too. These alpacas are some of the calmest animals you’ll find, relatively speaking. Look up the tour times so you don’t show up and have to wait too long.”

“This place brought me so much joy - like a warm hug I knew I needed! The alpacas can’t help but make you smile and the views are an absolute bonus!”

“Absolutely recommend visiting! Having never heard of Shamarra Alpacas, we were a little unsure of what to expect, we thoroughly enjoyed meeting and feeding the alpacas, the staff were all lovely and friendly, and clearly very passionate about their work. I cannot recommend Shamarra Alpacas highly enough! Thank you again for a wonderful experience.”
