About Us

Kit and Sheryl have been farming alpacas since the year 2000 and today they run a herd of 225 alpacas.

Kit grew up on a large 600 acre sheep farm and spent 34 years in tourism and passenger transport.

Sheryl's family have lived in the Clarkville area for four generations - Sheryl has been involved in the hospitality business, ran her own successful wedding operation for many years and today operates her own specialist cafe with our daughter Charlotte.

Over the years we have travelled the world many times and have to come to understand and appreciate the needs of travellers. Certainly comments on Trip Advisor would suggest we have a facility that meets the expectations of international travellers.

Silverstream Alpaca farmstay is located 20 minutes north of Christchurch in the beautiful South Island of New Zealand.
