Suitable for all ages!
Visiting The Llama Sanctuary is an exciting and yet peaceful experience. The paddocks at the new Ecopark location are gently sloping and have not yet been groomed, so they are not ideal for wheelchairs and strollers. If you have a wheelchair or have difficulty moving over rough ground, let us know beforehand and we will make sure the llamas are accessible to you.
They can melt your heart!
The Llama Sanctuary cares for many elderly, sick or injured animals. You will get to meet them! Be warned – it can be a deeply moving experience to spend a moment with a llama in need of your love!
Organized Group Visits
School field trips and organized groups are welcome at The Llama Sanctuary. Contact us for group pricing and availability.
***NEW*** CATS2 Cat Lounge

The days are long at The Llama Sanctuary. When we are not guiding visitors, a myriad of other tasks demand our attention: feeding & tending to the elderly, the sick, the injured, the disabled; cleaning paddocks & barns, building, shearing, nail-trimming, fence repairs, grass-cutting, driving around the country catching, re-homing or otherwise helping llamas in need, counting llamas, as well as trail-clearing, noxious plant removal and of course, answering emails, telephone calls, website building and fulfilling orders from The Llama Sanctuary online shop. The list is endless.
The Llama Sanctuary is a registered charity and is supported by the generosity of other animal lovers Please consider becoming a regular supporter!
