π Horokiwi, Wellington
Trickle Creek runs pony parties and small-animal farm experiences in Horokiwi, near Wellington. Owner Louise is a qualified Early Childhood teacher; parties include pony rides, rabbit and guinea pig cuddles, fairy-garden treasure hunts, and on-site catering.
Trickle Creek is the perfect place for a magical kidsβ birthday party. I canβt rave enough about the experience we had today for my daughterβs 6th birthday. The kids were able to ride a pony, handle lots of small animals (rabbits, Guinea pigs etc), frolic in a fairy forest, play games and do crafts, and much more. Louise is an exemplary host. With years of experience teaching children, she offers an amazing farm experience. She pulls together gorgeous catering for kids and adults alike and runs a very organised ship. Just sit back, relax and Louise and her staff take care of everything. It was such a treat to know everything was in hand. Trickle Creek is a little slice of heaven. Thank you so much for our wonderful experience.

βWe were looking for something a bit different to do for our daughters birthday party and came across Trickle Creek. Louise and her team did an amazing job hosting the birthday party. From guinee pig/rabbit cuddles and feeding to horse riding, there was so much for the kids to do. They also catered all the kids party food which gave us one less thing to worry about. The day was finished with a treasure hunt in the fairy garden, which the kids loved! Absolutely recommend Trickle Creek for your next child's birthday party. Thanks again for the amazing day Louise πβ

βLouise helped our four-year-old fulfill her biggest dream: riding a horse. Trickle Creek is a magical place for children β they are well cared for, yet free to let their imaginations run wild, whether theyβre into dinosaurs, fairies, Barbies, or simply mud. Our kids speak only a little English and hadnβt been in childcare for quite a while, but they opened up quickly and felt at ease. It gave us the chance to enjoy our first real couple time in a long while β and that meant a lot to us!β

βLouise and her team were amazing to deal with from start to finish. Nothing was too hard and she was on top of everything, kids had an amazing time, such a fantastic space for them and when they sat down to eat she sent all the adults outside and she looked after them so we could sit and eat too, worth every penny! Biggest complaint is the kids didn't want to leave at the end!β
