What makes it 71% Solo-Friendly: A solo visitor can watch shearing, join feed tours and walk trails, but the site is small and family focused, so entertainment depth for one adult is moderate.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for solo trip: This lets you attend the shearing show, join the feedout tour, walk the eco trail and enjoy a café break.
Sheep Shearing Show:
Watch skilled shearers and sheepdogs work on lambs and wool.
Tip: Arrive 10 minutes early to grab a front-row seat in the barn.
Guided Feedout Tour:
Feed sheep, goats, alpacas and donkeys with the farmer at 12:30 PM.
Tip: Purchase a NZ$3 feed bag to hand-feed lambs up close.
Eco Trail Walk:
Stroll a 10-minute loop through native bush and spot tūī and kererū.
Tip: Wear sturdy shoes in winter; paths get muddy after rain.
Café Coffee Break:
Enjoy coffee or brunch with views over paddocks and playground.
Tip: Try the gluten-free muffin and sit outside for uninterrupted farm views.
Wool Display & Gift Shop:
Explore exhibits on wool history and browse local knitwear.
Tip: Visit before 3 PM when lighting is best for photos.

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!

What a fantastic and fun family friendly experience. We came up from Auckland and got there for opening at 10am. Came on the weekend but it wasn’t super busy at open which was great as we got feed and pat a lot of the animals whilst it was still quiet. Our kids got to feed the baby calves as well as the baby lambs (lambs during the show). The show itself was great, really fun and interactive and m...

Nice place for kids. The farm animals are well trained and very friendly and curious. They are located pretty close to the city, probably just 20-25 mins drive from Orewa. You will find goats, sheep, rabbits, calves, alpacas, duck, chicken and donkeys, and you can feed them as well. Ample parking and an adjoining cafe as well. There's also a little walking trail with some native trees in it. Highl...
In summer, catch extra 2 PM shearing shows on weekends. In winter, layer up for chill in the barn and bring a rain jacket for the eco trail.
