328 Wainui Main Road, Akaroa 7582, New Zealand You’ll find your new furry friends here in a beautiful harbour on the slopes of an extinct volcano and overlooked by craggy volcanic hills. Shamarra Alpacas is just over an hour’s drive (73km) from Christchurch Central, and only a 20 minute trip from the historic seaside village of Akaroa, which is worth visiting for its culture and architecture alone. Our panoramic views of Akaroa Harbour and the rolling hills and peaks of the surrounding valleys are breathtaking and will make every one of your selfies with an alpaca post-worthy.
We are open year-round, with the scenery changing beautifully through each season and the alpacas staying cute throughout.

We went on a wet winters day, so the Alpaccas were not as cuddly and fluffy as we would have liked. But they were still very cute and interesting! Highly recommended.
