Waihi Gold Alpacas 1 or 2 people

Neil was a fantastic host and we felt very at home. Thanks for the warm welcome and give xena our love.

The location was great, the place was immaculately clean, the owners are lovely and super helpful. We got to experience the morning ritual of alpaca, goat, and fish feeding and also Neil’s care toward his animals.

We were disappointed we couldn’t enjoy the scenery and things this place has to offer due to the wet weather.

The sunrise and view took my breath away! It is such a beautiful setting, and it was good fun to help feed the alpacas. I didn't want to leave!

I loved the location, views were beautiful, the peace and quietness was so relaxing, the alpacas were so lovely, got to hand feed them which was a treat…..the cottage was comfortable, and contained everything you needed.

I was happy with everything…

We had the most wonderful time at the cabin, Neil and Joanne are the best hosts you could ever wish for. We arrived late at night and the cabin was easy to locate and the electric blanket was left on for us to snuggle into bed. The starry sky was unforgettable and the cabin nice and cosy. In the morning we woke up to a blissful silence and the site of a herd of alpacas curiously looking towards the cabin as we had a cup of coffee on the decking taking in the beautiful views of the valley. Neil introduced us to the alpacas and the goats and we had the most incredible time feeding them and petting them. The cabin makes the perfect weekend escape from Akl with its perfect location whilst being off the grid and immersed in the bush, we still had full reception and the cabin had everything we needed + supermarket open till 9pm less than 10mins drive

We wish we has stayed longer and can’t wait to get back

The place is amazing! Neil is a great host, so welcoming! I would definitely recommend this place to stay for a nice, quiet and relaxing time!

beautiful slice of NZ rural culture, had everything that was needed with a bonus of animals
