“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!  ”

“This experience exceeded our expectations, it was really informative and interesting. We got lots of time to be right up close and pat the alpacas and we took great photos. The shop had really beautiful alpaca garments, beautiful quality. Highly recommend this as a day trip from Christchurch with a stop at the Little River cafe and gallery.”

We had an amazing experience at Shamarra, the host I and Jenny were very welcoming and accommodating from the moment we arrived they came out and guided us to an available carpark until we drove out the driveway always with 1 ensuring it was safe to exit. They were very informative throughout the tour, offered complimentary drink and snack and made sure everybody on the tour had all of their questions answered and needs meet. The farm was very beautifully maintained with an amazing view over the bay. I would highly recommend this tour for both NZ residents as well as tourist. I'd also recommend buying some of the very high quality products from the store, we bought a blanket and it is very soft and beautiful.

“I had the most amazing and exciting experience at Shamarra! The staff were extremely friendly and informative. You can tell they truly love their alpacas, especially because they can tell you every alpacas name and their background information!! They also offer raincoats if it is raining which is super handy! This is a must do activity if you are visiting Christchurch. Not only do you get to cuddle the alpacas but you also get to feed them. I would absolutely do it again!!”

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! it was beyond nice!! the guide explained everything about the alpacas, we weere able to pet and feed them. the staff was very friendly and chatty, we received complimentary drinks and cookies. definitely worth it when visiting akaroa!!”
