Sherlin Alpaca Stud

“Such a beautiful Alpaca Stud ran by 2 of the sweetest people I've ever met. You can drop by for a tour (no reservation needed) during which you can feed multiple Alpaca's on their pastures while getting personal commentary by the owners about their animals, how they run the farm, how they started, specifics about alpacas and so on. The Alpacas are so well kept, beautiful colors and hair types, one of their animals even won the "Supreme" title last year, which clearly reflects how well they're breeding and treating their beautiful animals. They had multiple baby and teen Alpaca running around, enjoying themselves in the herd. They have a very nice shop with beautiful, handmade Alpaca clothes and gifts for very reasonable prices! Really a must stop when coming from or going to Christchurch 🤩”

“My visit to Sherlin Alpacas was truly the best experience of my life. Feeding and spending time with those gentle, fluffy alpacas brought me so much joy. What made the day even more special was the incredible warmth of the farm owners; Sheryl & Lindsay - they are genuinely the kindest, nicest, and most lovely people you could ever meet. It is a beautiful memory that I will cherish forever. They are located just 15 mins from Christchurch and have a cute shop wherein you can buy yourself the warmest Wool the beautiful 100% Alpaca Beanies, Scarves, socks Self knitted by Sheryl, I got myself a pink Scarf. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience that I will cherish forever.”

“We found this place on Google Maps and didn’t make a booking in advance. The website said walk-ins were welcome, which was super convenient for us. It’s only about 15 minutes from Christchurch. Nonie, the host, was incredibly kind and friendly. They explained everything clearly and guided us through the tour in a very warm, personal way. All the alpacas were so clean, cute, and unbelievably soft, and they looked very happy and well cared for. Feeding them by hand was so much fun and such a memorable experience for us. We absolutely loved it and highly recommend visiting if you’re around - you won’t be disappointed! 🦙✨”
