Welcome to the farm

Come and see, feed and pet the animals — and meet rare breeds you won't find on many farms anywhere in the world.

Glenlothian Farm is a unique animal farm park and home to a remarkable collection of rare breeds — Enderby Island rabbits and Canterbury Blue pigs among them. As members of the Rare Breeds Society of New Zealand, we're also one of the few petting farms in the country where you can meet Bennetts wallabies up close.

Alongside the rare ones you'll find all the kiwi favourites — Shetland ponies, peacocks, pigs and a flock that loves a hand-feed. Every visit comes with the stories behind our animals, from Captain Cook's goats to the wallaby's journey from Tasmania.
