The ol' fable says that back in the day, the Sheepworld farmers were spraying weedkiller on a windy day, which happened to end up on their Sheep - which turned them pink! The tourists began to love seeing pink sheep, so they decided to dye their sheep... PINK. This was fun until locals and animal activists started to question the ethical nature of this hair treatment. We now love our sheep and keep them 100% Pure NZ.

Yes! Our Cafe, Retail Store & Farm Park including toilets are all wheelchair & Pram Friendly. 

For Kiwi folk who see Sheep around every corner, we understand that a world of Sheep is just your usual Monday. However, Sheepworld has so much more than just Sheep! We are an interactive Farm Park with Alpacas, Donkeys, Miniature Horse, Rabbits, Calves, Pigs, Goats, Deer, Emu, Possum, Aviary Birds & Dogs. Most of these animals you can pat, and hand feed with our feed bags we sell at the counter. The animals are used to human interaction. During Spring our baby lambs are bottle fed twice a day and we'd love your help.

You can bring your pup to the outside areas of the cafe, and the lawn next to the playground. We don't allow dogs inside the farm park though.
