SheepWorld in Warkworth is a charming and educational experience for all ages. The staff are friendly, the demonstrations are fun and informative, and the animals are well cared for. It’s a great place to learn about New Zealand’s farming heritage while enjoying a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Such a great place to visit. The animals are all living their best life, love to interact and super friendly. The shearing show was well worth the extra price. The eco-discovery trail is a great added bonus. Oh and the cafe was great value, highly recommend the mushrooms on toast! The team clearly love their jobs too!

We were on a visit from Australia and came across this farm. Fantastic not for profit organisation helping underprivileged children. The food was fantastic and was plentiful, the staff were fantastic and even helped my daughter look for the farm cats! Coffee was delightful. 4 hours flew past in a flash. I hope we get to come back here at some point. Just simply brilliant!

There's also a little walking trail with some native trees in it. Highl...
