Well worth it

This exceeded my expectations - mainly because of the host - his passion and friendliness made this (super hot) afternoon a very memorable experience:)

LOVED our visit!

What a wonderful experience! I was a bit nervous that our 18 month old would be afraid because she hasn’t been around alot of larger animals but the gentle alpacas at Silverstream made her feel quite at ease and she really enjoyed patting and feeding them. Our guide was excellent and we learned so much about Alpacas and their wool. Would 100% recommend. Definitely hope to go back again!

Great morning

I enjoyed hearing how the farm came to be and seeing, holding, feeding, patting them all. Such cute characters. Then into the shearing shed and into the shop. So glad I did it.

I throughly enjoyed taking the kids to see the Alpaca's! Kit's talk at the start was interesting and informative and our guide was friendly, fun and also gave us alot facts! Was a really good tour and would recommend to anyone looking for an outing! The Alpacas were cute and we had a lot of fun feeding them and hanging out.

Hi Kylie So pleased you enjoyed your alpaca experience at Silverstream. We do try and make the tour a factual but fun experience and the alpacas certainly make my job easy. Hopefully you got some wonderful photographs as well. Regards Kit
