Establo Farmstay is 350m above sea-level. This not only means you get some spectacular views of Dunedin City, but you are also above the snow line. At least a couple of times a year we receive some decent snow falls. This is warmly greeted by our children, who are very quick to get out the toboggan and skis. The snow does not last for long, but it is very much enjoyed. The alpacas do not seem to mind it either!!

Why we farm Alpaca
We farm alpacas and host a farmstay on a 10-acre lifestyle farm in Dunedin, New Zealand, just 6km from Dunedin's town centre. We have been farming alpacas since 2004, and are members of the Alpaca Association of New Zealand (AANZ). Our decision to invest in alpacas was driven by a number of key factors. First, we firmly believe that there is a strong market for alpaca and alpaca product both now, and, in the foreseeable future. There are many qualities that alpaca fibre possess that make it a truly remarkable natural fibre, and already it has made an impact in designer circles all over the world. We also see room for growth in the industry. The quality of alpaca in New Zealand is improving every year, but there is still an enormous amount of potential to improve fibre attributes. We decided to take up this challenge and it is our goal to work with top genetics so that we can contribute to the quality of alpaca in New Zealand.
