LOVED our visit!
What a wonderful experience! I was a bit nervous that our 18 month old would be afraid because she hasn’t been around alot of larger animals but the gentle alpacas at Silverstream made her feel quite at ease and she really enjoyed patting and feeding them. Our guide was excellent and we learned so much about Alpacas and their wool. Would 100% recommend. Definitely hope to go back again!

Hi Susannah Thank you for your lovely review. The alpacas are amazing aren't they? I find the starting chat that I provide helps to provide a better understanding of why alpacas are so special. The alpacas have provided me pleasure, a business and a sense of contentment that is hard to find elsewhere. Thank you for visiting Silverstream and I am so pleased you enjoyed your experience. Regards Kit

Lovely experience
Our visit to the farm was an unforgettable experience! We had the chance to meet, cuddle, and feed so many adorable alpacas while learning all about them. The owner shared his inspiring story of how he started the business, which made the tour even more special. It was truly fascinating! Our guide was lovely and incredibly helpful throughout the experience. We absolutely loved it and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and unique adventure!

Hi Adriana We enjoyed having you at Silverstream - we do not receive many visitors from Brazil and then to have a family from Toulouse join the tour as well, made the tour even more special. I do love story telling and feel that it adds to the sense of anticipation when the physical tour actually starts. The alpacas make my job easy of course and having babies on the ground melts the hearts of many of our visitors. Thank you for coming to Silverstream and for taking the time to write such a wonderful review. Kind regards Kit

IAlpacas were beautiful and my son enjoyed feeding them. The guide 'Kit' was charasmatic and told us interesting Alpaca facts and stories.

Hi Rachel So pleased you finally got to see the alpacas on a lovely day. Children and alpacas always make a great combination - the alpacas seem to be more relaxed around children. Having been in tourism all my life, one thing you learn when providing a commentary is to mix up the hard facts with some interesting and fun stories. I find visitors relax more and there is better interaction. Thank you for coming to Silverstream - we will have a lot more babies by late February. Regards Kit

Well worth it
This exceeded my expectations - mainly because of the host - his passion and friendliness made this (super hot) afternoon a very memorable experience:)
