    Nice calm place. Came because children always wanted to stay at a farm. Fantastic host, who had help from to French students. Really Nice for kids to feed alpackas and meet the baby alpackas. Breakfast a bit basic for the Price.

    Had a very lovely adventure here! The accommodations are homely and comfortable. It's clean and smells fresh. Hosts were very friendly and took us around the farm. They provided lots of opportunities to get up close to the alpacas, and even helped...

Silverstream Alpaca farm is one of the largest alpaca farms in New Zealand (over 200 alpacas) and is the closest to Christchurch International Airport, just 10 minutes drive. Our guests marvel at the beautiful gardens, the peace and tranquility, the quality and facilities offered in our self contained cottages and most importantly our guided tour of the alpacas. Alpacas have to be one of the most beautiful and curious animals in the world. Your hosts Kit and Sheryl are on farm to welcome each and every guest and to ensure that your stay at Silverstream is a memorable one. Each cottage has two bedrooms. Bedroom one has a Queen bed and Bedroom two has two single beds. There is also a lounge, kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen includes hobbs, microwave, fridge, dishwasher, toaster, kettle, pots and pans, crockery, cutlery, cooking utensils, glassware and tea, coffee and sugar. The bathroom includes shower, toilet, handbasin, clean towels, flanels, floor mat, hair dryer and a range of toiletries. The bedrooms include extra blankets, pillows, ironing board and iron and a safe for your valuable items. There is free secure parking, free wifi and free Netflix movies.
Kit & Sheryl have been welcoming guests to Silverstream for sixteen years and have enjoyed every moment. Kit is a keen sportsman and alpaca enthusiast and Sheryl enjoys meeting new people and entertaining. Alpacas provide wonderful entertainment with their natural curiosity and playfulness. They have wonderful teddy bear good looks, long eyelashes and just love being fed by visitors. Silverstream is one of the largest alpaca farms in New Zealand and is one of the few properties that offers farmstay accommodation and farm tours. We are also the closest farm to Christchurch International Airport and close to State Highway One near Kaiapoi. For visitors heading to Hanmer, the wineries, Kaikoura or the Marlborough Sounds we are just a five minute detour on the north side of the city.
Our nearest town is Kaiapoi, just five kilometres away. There are many restaurants and takeaways in the town including: European, Chinese, Indian, Moroccan, Vietnamese, Japanese (Teppanyaki), Thai and McDonalds. There is a fantastic licensed cafe called "Paris for the Weekend" that offers breakfasts, high teas and lunches. About 30 minutes north of Kaiapoi there are many wineries that offer lunches and wine tasting. Heading back toward the airport and about 8 kms away is Willowbank Wildlife Park featuring the native Kiwi bird. Closer to the airport again is the International Antarctic Centre.
