Farm Park, Cafe & Gallery - Hanmer Springs
A farm park for all age
s!
For a cool mix of fun, play and education, Wai ariki Farm Park is the ideal outing for families, schools, groups and animal lovers of all ages!
You will love our purpose-built Farm Park, Café and Gallery which opened in July 2005. This family business is 100% NZ owned and operated. Wai ariki is set amidst spectacular mountain views on a 14 acre lifestyle block. We have 2 acres of sheltered farm park land where the animals are displayed in a clean, relaxed and peaceful environment.
Meet the nicest, friendliest and most interesting farm and exotic animals for you to enjoy and handfeed.
Cafe and Craft Gallery
After a wander around the Park, relax with a tea or coffee and some fine food from our vibrant café, then browse through the Craft Gallery.
Horse-drawn fun
The Wai ariki horse-drawn Taxi adds a new dimension to the Wai ariki Farm Park experience. Whether you are looking for a 5 minute ride, a fun way of getting to and from the Park or an extended tour of the village, the Wai ariki Taxi offers you a taste of the horse-drawn era.
Children's horse trekking
Ground led treks offer children (24 months and up) a wonderful first riding experience. Mum and dad can either trek out with the kids, accompany the trek on foot or kickback and relax with a coffee in the cafe. To avoid disappointment, book now for the December/January holidays!
