★★★★★Featured review by Dmitrii Lapin

It's a small but very nice farm. Kees (the owner of the farm) kindly and very enthusiastically gave us a tour. Will definitely come back here again =)

🏆 Family Action Verdict

A rare chance for kids to meet alpacas up close with a knowledgeable owner as their guide — the personal, unhurried pace sets it apart from larger farm attractions.

Overview

Set on 11 acres along the Styx River in Ouruhia, Styx River Farm raises alpacas and opens its gates to visitors for guided farm tours. The owner personally conducts tours, walking guests through the paddocks for close encounters with the animals. Alpaca-fibre products — from paddock to product — are available in the farm shop. The riverbank setting adds a quiet, rural atmosphere close to Christchurch.
