Schoen, aber zu teuer

Eine schoene gepflegte Anlage, nettes Ambiente, phantasievolle Spielstätten, leider sehr teuer (Futter muss sogar zusaetzlich mit 5 NZD bezahlt werden). Vor Ort wird kein Verkauf von Essen angeboten. Die mini Museen sind wenig interessant.

Had a lovely dayout.

What a lovely farm for the whole family, not just for primary aged children, but also for teenagers and adults. Not much animals in the farm to hold and pet, but it was still a great experience.

Wonderful place for children

This is a wonderful place for families. I took my Grandchildren and we had the whole day feeding animals, playing in the playground. We had a picnic and went for the bush walk which they really enjoyed. I highly recommend. Gayle Stokes

Bullswool farm

We took the grandkids and had the best day out. Such a beautiful farm and so much for the kids to see and do. Loved the wooden excavator and hut. Just a magical place . Thank you so much.
