The guide was friendly and helpful in pointing out the hustle and bustle of farming the alpaca and Llama. Everyone gets to change into boots before heading out to the farm. Washroom is actually available in the farm. All the animals in the farm have their individual characteristics, even the sheep. We have the luxury of feeding and feeling the animals up, close and personal.
Item in the gift shop is slightly more pricey though.

Station de ski Mt Dobson Nouvel Zealand Le plaisir de la glisse avec et des grands espaces. Une station magique à dimension humaine...
Reviewed By Sarah B
One of my favourite ski fields! Although reasonably small it has plenty of runs for the amount of lifts running! Great for all levels of skiers, the road up is extremely well kept making it an accessible ski field! The only downside is it is very pricey, luckily I got a grab one voucher so was half the price but a full price lift pass and ski hire creeps up there! Other than that makes for a great day! Never seems to feel crowded and not once did I wait in line!

Loved this amazing gallery, shop, museum or whatever it's called.
From large outdoor furniture to vintage vehicles, treasures from days of old or a simple coffee, this place is worth stopping for. We enjoyed a laugh, play and sharing memories of old ads.
There's heaps to look at and worth taking half an hour.
I challenge you to walk away empty handed!
4. Morelea Farm

We visited Morelea Farm with a coach tour, and we felt the visit was quite memorable because we had an opportunity to ask Stan and Angie questions about modern farming in New Zealand after government subsidies had been removed. We were surprised to learn, for instance, that most of Stan's beef is exported live and eventually goes to Mcdonalds. Angie seemed born to be a gracious hostess. She welcomed us in the bus before we entered the yard, and she enjoyed preparing the lunch of beef and lamb and vegetables and kiwi Pavlova for 36 people. We felt the lunch was memorably delicious, as is our memory of Stan and Angie's Morlea Farm.

We took a 24 hour break from a recent cycling holiday to do the 'Shepherd's Overnighter' experience of walking into the farm as far as the Devils Creek Hut, which the owner Jo made sure we had for ourselves for the night. A great little...MoreWe're glad you enjoyed it & hope the rest of your holiday went well.

It felt a little weird to be all alone in a museum except for the security cameras watching you. We placed our coin and went through and discovered a museum which has plenty to offer its visitors. We walked around for ages and enjoyed the many things to look at.
