MOUNTVIEW ALPACA FARM

Filled with adorable fuzzball residents with names like Tim Tam, Ed Sheeran and Pancake, the Mountview Alpaca Farm is everything you would imagine it to be, heart lifting, hilarious and full of the cutest alpacas you have ever seen.

Mountview Alpaca Farm is a little over an hour’s drive south of Brisbane, situated just outside the picturesque country town of Canungra in the Scenic Rim Region.

The alpacas at Mountview are friendly and well groomed, and you can choose to feed them, walk them, or both!

The staff will help you select an alpaca who suits your family. Younger children might be paired with older, calmer and more passive alpacas, while older Brisbane kids might enjoy the company of more spirited younger ones. There is simply no experience that compares to spending time in the company of alpacas!

Small children will be in awe of their ability to walk this large, placid animal, and it will create a memorable day out for the whole family. If you’re fortunate, you may also get to meet some baby alpacas, spot the resident turtles, or even catch sight of a platypus in Canungra Creek.

The farm shares the grounds of O’Reilly’s Canungra Valley Vineyards, which means you can also enjoy all the delights of the winery, including awardwinning wines, gourmet picnic baskets, and pizzas.

Location: 852 Lamington National Park Road, Canungra

Opening details: Open 7 days a week (excluding Good Friday)

Cost: You can feed an alpaca for $3, or take one for a walk from $15

Canungra is filled with cafes, gift shops, and a lovely little bakery (is anything better than a country bakery’s vanilla slice?), and is a lovely place to stop for a bite before or after your alpaca experience.
