Where are you located? We are located in Wollombi Valley, in the sleepy hamlet of Laguna. We are lucky to be surrounded by national parks and state forests. It feels remote and is very different from Pokolbin, which has extensive vineyards and is a lovely 40-minute drive. We are in the wilderness, appreciate nature, and love it like that.
Getting to Laguna, Wollombi Valley
We are located in a hidden valley, 90 minutes from Sydney and one hour from the Central Coast.
[ Vehicle access ] The road to our farm is a dirt track with potholes surrounded by thick bushland. Although a short, steep section exists, any standard 2WD car can easily navigate it. Confident drivers have no issues. If you have modified your car or have a low sports car, then it's at your own risk. Sport cars and low-modified cars are not recommended. Drive 20 km to protect our wildlife, as wombats, roos, and lyrebirds live here.
There is NO mobile reception in our valley. You will not find us without our address and easy-to-follow instructions, which I will email you as our address as it is not published on the net. So please save the info that I send you.
What does working alpaca farm mean?
Our farm is a bustling place where our livestock receive care every day of the week, morning and afternoon, rain, hail or shine.
Can we bring our dog or cat to your farm? Due to our strict farm biosecurity, pets are not allowed.
Are there snakes there? The most frequently asked question is whether there are snakes in the area. The answer is yes, as we aim to maintain a healthy ecosystem. Since it is their natural habitat, snakes can be seen throughout the year, and we ensure not to disturb them. However, it is essential to wear closed-toe shoes when outside.
Do you offer farmstay? Yes, we do, but only for four (4) adults. All guests must be over 18 years old. We are not set up for children or infants. For ‘summerhouse’ booking info, click here.
Our Bio-Security Policy and COVID-19 safety measures are in place. All visits must have an appointment; day visits are not permitted.
Do you sell alpacas? As registered breeders, we certainly do and are also part of the Australian Alpaca Association. You will need a PIC (property identification code) to purchase alpacas from us. We like to meet you, show you our herd, and answer your questions about caring for alpacas. Read more on our alpacas for sale blog.
“Livestock inspections and visits are via appointment only.”
Do you run alpaca workshops? We run alpaca workshops regularly workshops.
Do you sell alpaca fleece? We certainly do. Please visit our online shop here. Most of our fleece is available after our annual Spring shearing day.
NOTE: If you have been to Indonesia, including Bali, after June 2022, please tell us BEFORE you visit. Foot & Mouth Disease is a serious threat to all of Australia’s livestock.

*Closed shoes are essential on the farm, and gumboots are always preferred, especially after the rainy season. Flip-flops are not permitted on the paddocks. Bring boots after the flood as lots of rain the last 18 months if you want to get up close and personal with the alpacas. Otherwise indoor and outdoor shoes you will need.
