Warwickz Farm

“I had an absolutely fantastic experience on the farm tour at Warwickz Farm with Chris as our guide. His passion for rare breeds and his extensive collection of animals truly made this tour a memorable and educational adventure. From the moment we arrived, Chris's enthusiasm was infectious. He welcomed us with a warm smile and an eagerness to share his knowledge about the animals. Our kids were especially thrilled to meet the donkey, the miniature horse, alpacas, and those adorable Chinese Silkie chickens. The tour was not only entertaining but also highly informative. Chris's insights into the care and preservation of rare breeds were enlightening, and it's evident that he genuinely cares for each and every one of his animals. I wholeheartedly recommend the Warwickz Farm tour with Chris to anyone looking for a delightful, family-friendly experience. It's a unique opportunity to connect with nature, learn about rare breeds, and witness firsthand the dedication of someone who truly loves what they do. This tour is an absolute gem and a must-do for animal enthusiasts of all ages!”

“A true hidden gem of the Canterbury region The tour on Warwickz Farm is one of the highlights of our 2 weeks NZ trip. We did not make a booking and just kinda stumbled upon the farm on our way back to Christchurch from Lake Tekapo. There were no other bookings during that time slot so it felt like a private tour! Chris is an exceedingly welcoming host and guide. He shared a lot of knowledge and is extremely humourous. His warm and sentimental personality really touched us. The animals are all so friendly and well taken care of. There's a variety of animals you can interact with here. Our favourite were of course the alpacas, Gotland sheeps and the bunnies. The kunekune pigs were also very unique and adorable! If you are ever in the area, this is definitely worth the visit (or even if you aren't, take a detour to stop by, it's worth it). There's plenty more good things to say about Chris and his farm but you'll have to experience it for yourself.”

“We had the most wonderful time on the farm, an absolute highlight of our trip! From the moment we arrived, Chris made us feel so welcome. His warmth, knowledge, and genuine love for the animals really made the experience special. Getting up close to a variety of classic New Zealand animals and given the opportunity to feed them, learn about them, and simply spending time in such a peaceful rural setting — was both fun and educational. You can really tell the animals are well cared for and happy, and it made the whole visit feel very personal and authentic. Chris was fantastic and made sure we felt comfortable and engaged throughout. If you're looking for a hands-on, heartwarming, and unforgettable New Zealand farm experience, this is it. Couldn’t recommend it more! Thank you Chris — we’ll be talking about this day for a long time!”

“Did a tour with Chris on mid sep 2024. It was definitely one of the highlights of my NZ trip. On top of petting the animals, it was extremely informative for anyone who wants to know more about farming life from first hand experience. The interactions with each animal was at a comfortable pace, and my personal favourite was kune kune pigs! Lastly, all the best to your upcoming show in October, young and handsome Columbus!”
