Xmas 2018/Summer 2019
What a busy lead into Christmas! We have had a lot of pre-Xmas visitors as word has started to spread about our great product range and our specialty Limoncello and lavender-infused gin. As this has been happening the lavender plants have started to bloom and are in good shape for the summer tourists.
We are also please to announce a NEW garden area. On one of the southern terraces (with great views of the city) we have planted over 20 different varieties of lavender along a 60M path
If you would like to visit the farm this summer we are changing things around to better cope with the number of guests. We will be holding organised tours at 11am and 2pm. In these tours we will guide you through the lavender fields and explain the different sorts of lavender and how they grow, visit the alpacas (and feed them) and show you how the lavender still works. The cost of this is $20 per adult and kids for free. Please leave a message or book via facebook messenger, txt 021 111 6686 or email on [email protected]
The farm shop will be open from 10am to 3pm and of course free to visit.
Our opening days are:
Dec 22 & 23 Open
Dec 24,25 &26 Closed
Dec 27 to 30 Open
January- Stay posted as we will update this closer to the date. Note that we harvest around the last week of January (weather dependent)

Delicious gins! My partner and I have tried the lavender gin, the sloe gin, and the smoked honey gin. I have to say, none of them lasted very long at our house; they are all fantastic. We've also bought a few as gifts and they were well received. We'll be trying any further limited...

What a great quiet location with great amenities. Hosts thought of everything. We were lucky enough to smell the lavender being processed into oil. This was divine.

Wow! What a fantastic place. While we didn't go at a the time of year to see the lavender in bloom, the landscape was great, the Alpaca especially friendly and the owner was absolutely lovely. Great little shop and after a taste of their gin, just had to grab myself a bottle.
