The paca shack at Gem Alpacas
About
The paca shack at Gem Alpacas in South Island sits at 18 Nixons Road, Fairlie 7987, New Zealand. The attraction is known for its alpacas, and the website at alpinealpacasfairlie.com carries the details of what is on offer. First-time visitors should expect a farm-based visit rather than an indoor exhibit, with animals at the centre of the stop.
A 4.8 out of 5 average from 346 reviews gives it an exceptionally strong reputation, built across a large number of visits. Reaching the venue from Queenstown, Christchurch, Dunedin, Nelson, Blenheim, Wanaka, Te Anau and Kaikoura is possible by road, with Fairlie sitting on the main route through the South Island interior. New Zealand is a long, narrow group of islands, so almost nowhere in the country is far from the sea, and the South Island's interior is reached by a small number of passes.
Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August, so the timing of a visit changes the setting considerably.
Tūī, kererū and other native birds are common, and dolphins, fur seals and seabirds are seen around the coast, so the wider South Island rewards those who travel beyond the farm gate.
