Category: Ambury Farm

Ambury Farm is a working farm in the city. We are allowed to open gates and walk into most fields which gives us wonderful opportunities to interact with the animals. There is a full range of New Zealand farm animals: cows, sheep, goats, pigs, horses and poultry.

While it is great to visit all year round, the best time is from early July to early October when there are hundreds of lambs and a few calves. At this time of the year, visits are timed to give us opportunities to bottle feed orphaned lambs. In summer I can arrange a BBQ there (BYO food or we can stop at a supermarket).

  • $45 two – three hour visit (minimum 2 passengers – maximum 11 passengers)
  • Depart 2.30 pm
  • Return 6 pm (approx.)
  • 20 minute travel time each way (approx.)
  • Pick up at your hotel / home (Auckland central area*)
  • Bookings advised

*If outside this area, contact me to see if a pick up is possible.

We left Auckland Institute of Studies at 2.40pm and arrived at Ambury at 3pm. At first, it was quite cloudy, and it threatened to rain but we only got a very brief 2 or 3 minute shower and finally the sky cleared and we had a nice blue sky. It was probably 20 degrees but seemed a bit cooler because of the wind which was blowing off the Manukau Harbour. Continue reading Ambury Farm
