Waihi Gold Alpacas 3 or 4 people

Such a memorable stay, the hosts are so welcoming and friendly. The cabins warm and comfy- and the alpacas are way too cute. Why settle for just somewhere to stay - when you can have an experience to remember.

That we had to leave!

The host was awesome, super friendly and welcoming and gave our family a nice tour of his block and the animals on it. Kids loved it!

Toilet and bathroom required going outside (separate to the living quarters). Fine with other adults but with younger kids, a bit trickier.

Exceptional location, fantastic host, wonderful facilities. A magnificent place to stay away from the hustle and bustle of town, yet still conveniently close. Highly recommended.

Nothing.

Amazing views and pure nature sounds.

N.a

Great view, warm and tidy cabins with everything we needed as well as a very friendly and helpful owner/ manager.

There was nothing we didn’t like. It was great.

Calm, quiet and peaceful, fabulous views from inside and the deck, very friendly host who allowed us to help with alpaca and goat feeding.

We loved everything and were sad to leave.

The host was very friendly and showed us the farm. We also were able to feed the alpacas in the morning, which was a really nice experience. The accomondations were simple, but had everything we needed for one night. It was clean and the view was exceptional.

Nothing to complain! The street to the accomondation is through a farm and a gravel road - but manageable.

Excellent host! Couldn’t have been more friendly or accommodating. Went out of way to help us. Great location and loved the alpacas!

Was a nice and relaxing place to stay & easy to get to town & Beach

Having to go back to Auckland lol

Posto meraviglioso con vista spettacolare sulla campagna circostante. Accoglienza magnifica: nonostante la prenotazione ad ora tarda siamo stati accolti in una cabina con ogni comfort. La mattina successiva il proprietario ci ha invitato a dare da mangiare ad alpaca, capre e pesci regalando momenti meravigliosi a noi ed alla nostra bimba di 5 anni che ha apprezzato tantissimo.

Everything. The quiet country location. The view. The alpacas. It was a beautiful place to stay. Very nice host who made sure we were comfortable.

We truly enjoyed our stay at this charming alpaca farm Airbnb in Waihi, conveniently close to Karangahake Gorge. The cabins are beautifully secluded, about a mile off the main road, offering a quiet and private retreat. Inside, they're small and intimate but packed with thoughtful touches – we especially appreciated the readily available drinking water, coffee/tea setup, and microwave, which made our short stay so much easier. Our host's attention to detail, like having the electric blankets on for our arrival, was a lifesaver after a cold and rainy day. A highlight was definitely the time our host took to let us feed the alpacas – an unforgettable experience!

While we wished there were interior connecting doors to avoid letting bugs in when moving between rooms, it was a minor point in an otherwise fantastic stay.

We loved staying here, it was a unique experience.

There were no negative aspects.

Neil is simply the BEST host! Met us on arrival with a warm smile and immediately invited us to feed the Alpacas. Also helped feed them and the goats in the morning too. What a treat! Accomodation is perfect, clean, tidy, peaceful.

Nothing at all!

The cabins were cosy with all the basics including a great shower and of course the stunning views. The alpacas were beautiful and definitely made this stay unforgettable. Such characters, a lot of fun feeding them and hearing stories about them from Neil who was an entertaining host. 10 mins to Waihi town and very close also to Karangahake Gorge tracks. Highly recommend this accommodation!

We had an amazing holiday here! The alpacas were right in front of our cabin, and the highlight of our stay was patting and feeding them. The cabin itself was clean and comfortable, the host was incredibly friendly, and the view was absolutely perfect.

Hands down one of the best experiences for my little family so far. Travelling the day before with 3 and 4 year old boys they definitely needed a chance to stretch their little legs and some fresh air and I couldn't have picked a better place for it! Neil greeted us as we arrived, let us settle in and took us for a walk around the farm to visit the Alpacas, goats and even the fish. The next morning he came and got us all to go feed all the animals and let me tell you I've never seen my boys so happy. In fact 2 weeks later they're still talking about Farmer Neil and his animals! Highly recommend for just a relaxing stay when travelling or even for locals looking for weekend retreat! Such a fun place to stay.

Private, scenic location. Alpacas were right across from us and very cute, there was even a new born Alpaca! Neil was made us feel very welcome and was generous with his time feeding the Alpacas and showing us around.

Nothing

We loved the private setting, great view. We absolutely loved feeding the Alpacas and watching them run around. Neil was a wonderful host. It was so good we came back for another stay on our way back north.

Location was good considering the rural nature of the property. Not too far to Waihi town or beach.

Personal response by the host

Gorgeous location and feeding alpacas. Plus clean, comfortable and a smiling, generous host.

Nothing, it was all great

The place is wonderful—calm, peaceful, and surrounded by nature! The alpacas are adorable, and the host is incredibly friendly.

Nothing to complain about

We really liked the warmth and welcoming attitudes of our host, and the authentic kiwi experience of living on a farm, which means being able to feed their lovely alpacas and enjoy a wonderful starred sky, for example.

We think our accomodation was overpriced By such high fees, I would have expected to dwell on a real house on the farm. The cabins were nice but the costs were exaggerated, considering that on the rainy night we had they were very noisy and a bit cold. Also, I would have expected to have some family space to share, as in NZ you cannot trust summer either for a couple of nice days in a row to spend out on the deck. In the winter, the lack of direct connection with the bathroom could be uncomfortable overnight. Our suggestions are: add an extra cabin as a living room and kitchen, or else decrease the fees. It was a good experience , yet 560NZ dollars for 2 nights (4 people) is not a good price at all. The host was very kind in providing a barbecue set, yet a small induction plate or electric cooker should be added, in my view. (Antonella)

Isolating quiet and nice place. Neil is nice and kind. Definitely recommend it.

Views and the alpacas

The location was amazing, so beautiful and serene, and the Alpacas and Goats were awesome. Neil and Joanne were excellent hosts, very welcoming.

Nothing, all was perfect.

Beautiful location with stunning views, quite peaceful with the real rural feel. The alpacas were such a bonus and the owners are lovely and really made us feel welcome, they came to get the kids each morning and took them to feed the animals.

Nothing!

We had a fantastic stay here! Kids were enjoying feeding the alpacas, goats and gold fish. Glow worm discovery was fun. The cabins are cozy and clean. Location is good, it's only 8 mins to town. It was a memorable getaway that combined relaxation with fun. Waihi is a beautiful town, we must come back again!

Nothing

Peaceful location. Cabins were simple but very functional and clean. Neil (the owner) was very easy to work with. Loved the Alpaca experience.

Nothing.

We very much enjoyed the isolation of the property and its outlook over beautiful scenery. The animals were gorgeous and our host Joanne was lovely indulging my young son's fascination with feeding the animals.

The lodging doesn't have cooking facilities, though a BBQ is available. It was raining when we were there, which made cooking a bit tricky.

I would strongly suggest this place to my friends. The alpacas and other friendly animals are sooooo lovely. We were lucky enough to see the Milky Way during the night, and the sunrise in the early morning. The cabin is much cozy and warmer than I expected.

A wonderful place to stay off the beaten track immersed in beautiful countryside. And then apart from the wonderful hosts Neil and Joanne, you meet the alpacas, goats and the doggies.

Everything was perfect

Host: Neil was a lovely host. Very welcoming and polite. We checked-in late at around 9pm but he was all but helpful. He had the electric blankets switched ON for us. The other day he even provided us with the heater for the cabins. He let us borrowed his spade for the Hot beach. he let us feed Alpacas which was a lovely gesture. Facilities: Cozy cabins with enough stock of crockery, tea, coffee, Spacious toilet. Clean and well kept. Most important was the location and the view. In the middle of a farm with friendly Alpacas, and active goats.

There is nothing to not like.

Couldn’t fault it

Location great

Unique and fun farm experience in a beautiful location, the hosts are very accomodating and the cabins are spotless. We loved everything about our stay and we would recommend this spot to anyone looking for somewhere to wind down for a couple of days, only 5 min from waihi town and beach which offer great food and activities. Stay here!

Everything from stay to hosting us

Beautiful view and comfortable place to stay. We were literally staying with the alpacas. Neil was a fantastic host who took care of us well! He is really friendly and helpful. We had a BBQ here and he told us to leave the cleaning up to him. 🤗 We also managed to feed the alpacas and goats. Beautiful view of the stars on a cloudless night.

Everything’s good!

Love farmstay and the whole place to yourself

Pillows flat as a pancake

The owner was great about showing us the alpacas to the point where he took us twice to feed them. Excellent views. It was a fun experience.

Friendly hosts and excellent facilities. The amazing view and on natures doorstep. Close to town...but far enough out to be peaceful and tranquil.

Staying in the cabins was a great farm experience. Our hosts were fantastic and invited us to experience all the animals. We woke up with being able to feed the Alpacas right at our front door.

Amazing location and rooms. Neil and Joanne were very accommodating and the Alpacas are a very fun and cute addition on what is already great stay. I have been telling everyone about how great it was, wish we had stayed longer.

Coming up the long winding driveway feels like you're going on an adventure. The alpacas are right there in the surrounding paddocks. It's something a bit different, lovely location and view. The cabins are nice and new, cozy warm. We really enjoyed our stay.

The location was superb. Beautiful views and quiet. Neil was fantastic. He was kind enough to let us park the helicopter outside the unit.

All was great !

We loved everything about the property - the beautiful grounds, the alpacas, the sunset view, the moonlight, and the sleeping space.

Very cosy little cabins. Great picturesque quiet spot overlooking the valley towards Waihi. The Alpacas are very friendly.

Quite, Scenery, Friendly.

Due to the isolated location, they could have had some small box cereal and some granola bars or something for breakfast.

beautiful location on hill, overlooking Waihi. Fed the alpaca’s on the farm, got to witness a newborn cria and even named her after me wow i better come visit her often now lol warm, tidy and comfortable cabins suitable for all. Great place to get away from city life. Awesome exceptional Hosts!! Catered to all our needs, despite the rain we enjoyed our stay!

some shelter from rain but not a major problem or issue to us. we still managed to cook our bbq no worries.

My Technicians had a fantastic stay- Neil & his wife are is great hosts, they made sure everyone was comfortable & provided everything they needed. The location is stunning with amazing views. If you are after peace & quite this is the perfect place to stay. Will stay again!

Nothing it was fantastic

Beautiful spot, great hosts and we all loved the alpaccas

Absolutely stunning location! very kind, friendly host.

Nothing.

The BEST stay! Loved the alpacas, Neil & Joanne took us to feed them on arrival & the following morning. It was such a great time for my 2 year old to feed them & the goats. It was so great to switch off from the busy world. We sat outside on the deck at night, with a beautiful view & drink in hand. 10 out of 10.
