Bullswool Farm Park

What We Like

Bullswool Farm Park is not just a farm - it's one step from being a zoo, with a wide range of animals to see with picnic and play areas for the kids!

The farm is near to Waihi, Paeroa and the famous Karangahake Gorge, whose walkway was voted one of the 101 Must-dos for Kiwis. Bullswool Farm Park was recently voted one of The Coromandel's top attractions.

This is a great time of year to get up close to a large variety of rare breed farm animals. All are friendly and can be hand-fed. Follow the 1 km walkway around the farm and on your way meet: miniature horses, donkeys, deer, coloured sheep, emus, ducks, chickens, llamas, kunekune pigs, paint horses, miniature cattle, alpacas, and pygmy goats. This is a chance to enjoy a unique hands-on, authentic working farm experience.

This treat also includes admission to the Big Hills and Thrills Bike Track - a mountain bike track for kids aged 6 - 12, where they'll take a pedal-free balance bike on a wild ride downhill!

The Gold & Kauri Heritage Museum and Bush Discovery Walk looks fantastic and you'll notice a big increase in native bird numbers, as they come in to nest in the reserve. Learn about native New Zealand birds, trees and aquatic life, and about the fascinating history of the Karangahake Gorge's first miners and kauri bushmen.
