Amazing experience
The family run farm visit was led by Lloyd who was knowledgeable and friendly. Kit later spoke with us and was passionate about alpacas and also really friendly. We got a ball of yarn for our friends back at home and KIt even took the time to explain about the process and hopped onto the call to ensure that our friend got what she wanted. Cheers, a ten star experience if I could rate it that way!

Hi Zane Thank you for taking the time to write a review. This is very much appreciated. We always operate the tour from a visitors perspective ie what would they want or expect and then try and meet that expectation. The alpacas certainly make our job easier and every day they offer something different. We enjoy their company even after 25 years of breeding and exporting alpacas - they appeal to your senses. So pleased you enjoyed youre time at Silverstream. Regards.

Awesome experience
Our host - Kitt was extremely friendly and genuinely made us feel welcomed and included. Managed to feed the Alpacas and captured a few photos with them. Overall, a remarkable experience.

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

Richtig schönes Erlebnis
Es war echt ein richtig schönes Erlebnis. Der Tour-guide war mega lieb und hatte echt Ahnung. Die Geschichte vom Hof war auch sehr interessant und man hat einen super Einblick bekommen. Genug Möglichkeiten zum Füttern und streicheln und Fotos machen mit den Alpaka gab's natürlich auch. Also rund um ein tolles Erlebnis. Danke!
