I would highly recommend including the Woodstone Farm Experience in your itinerary when visiting Te Anau. Located just 6-7 minutes from Te Anau town centre, Woodstone Farm offers a unique opportunity for visitors to experience authentic New Zealand farm life in a beautiful and relaxed environment. Guests can meet a variety of friendly farm animals, including sheep, alpacas, cows, and chickens, and enjoy interactive experiences such as hand-feeding and milking. This makes Woodstone Farm an enjoyable and memorable experience for travellers of all ages.

The Farm Experience also includes a sheep shearing demonstration and a working dog demonstration, allowing visitors to learn more about traditional New Zealand farming practices. The large function area provides a comfortable space for groups and can support group itineraries with additional catering options.

During our visit in September, we were lucky to see many adorable young lambs that were only a few months old. Being able to interact with them and experience milking first-hand was a highlight of the visit. The friendly staff and professional guides provided detailed explanations about farming in the Te Anau region and the animals, creating an educational and enjoyable experience.

Woodstone Farm is especially recommended for international groups, families with young children, and travellers looking for an authentic New Zealand experience beyond typical sightseeing. It is also a great option to combine with their jet boating experience, allowing visitors to enjoy two of Te Anau’s unique activities in one itinerary. This farm experience is a wonderful addition to any Te Anau itinerary and provides visitors with a genuine connection to New Zealand’s rural lifestyle.
