Massive thank you to Sharon and Sean for an unforgettable experience for our family. The kids can't stop talking about it!

Unlimited food for the Alpacas is provided and it was fantastic to get up and personal with 140 Alpacas!

Definitely suitable for kids from 3+

See you next time for breakfast!

Sharon was an absolute delight. Funny and friendly, she explained us about their different tours and information on the alpacas. We were a group of 6 friends doing the Alpaca meet and greet. Absolutely loved the interaction with the alpacas and learnt so many things about them. Shawn was very warm too and answered all our questions. The farm is beautiful too and has other animals like sheep, horses, llamas and Guinea fowl. Great place to get kids and whole fam!

What a fantastic way to celebrate my uncle's birthday. He loves animals, and this place was perfect. He even said "best birthday," which is pretty cool at 73! 😍
We did the "Brunch with Alpacas" event, food was plentiful, and there was ample time to hang with a multitude of Alpacas, Lamas, and Sheep. The hosts were extremely knowledgeable and welcoming.
I highly recommend attending!!

We had a wonderful brunch. The set up and the way the family runs the whole experience was so well done. I wondered how we’d go when the rain started on our way in, but you wouldn’t even know as it was such a fun and unique time. Recommend to bring your rain boots & don’t forget your bananas.

The property is beautifully maintained, their hundreds of pets are clearly well taken care of and it was such a pleasure to learn more about the animals but also the positive impact Iris Lodge has on giving back to the planet through its sustainability efforts.

Thanks for an informative and enjoyable morning team. We hope Billy keeps out of trouble.

What a day we had today celebrating our wedding anniversary. My husband surprised me with brunch with the alpacas and it was absolutely amazing.
Sean and Sharon were great hosts, all of the animals are so well looked after and so calm, and relaxed. Even though it rained throughout the day and had rained 111mls the night before, there was puddles and the shoes got soaked but it didn't put a dampener on the day. I don't think anything could ruin the day we had today, such a peaceful and perfect place. Sean and Sharon were happy to chat and share their knowledge, great hospitality.
It has inspired us to want to live on the land ourselves.

One of the best experiences. So up close and personal with Alpacas, sheep and Llamas. Ample parking and the staff were so helpful and fun to be around. Kid friendly as well (just ask them not to run around with sheep)

It's always great to visit. A must do if you have visitors with little ones who love animals, also good for a romantic date if you like a nice brunch. I recommend it highly, especially if you have visitors from overseas.

What a great and random morning out! Christmas present for my partner Emma… “Brunch with the Alpacas” (and Babydoll sheep)… lovely hosts (Sean and Sharon) and hilarious Alpacas… nice to escape the ratrace and enjoy the fresh air on the farm…

Sharon and Sean were extremely hospitable, provided a lovely brunch (fresh fruit, coffee, cakes, yogurts / muesli and a bacon and eggs sandwich) and also provided great insight about the Alpacas and their farm.

Definitely worth the trip up from Sydney! My tip is bring a spare of shoes to wear on the farm that you don’t mind getting dusty and treading in the occasional poop. 🫶🏼🦙
