"This duck business is hard work in the winter, here's to you suckers out there, I am hanging with my humans and their warmth..."

Our gorgeous Ling-Ling is back for his annual customary visit, 4 yrs now, some of you may have met him, coincidentally he arrives when it is wet and freezing 🥶.

Saw this photo, in memory of Queenie, herding her herd of curious alpacas. You know what I mean if you met her...

Have a great week everyone...

To all our wonderful guests and friends, good news, we have opened our other house next door under the Tegwans Nest brand, stunning views, 5 bedrooms, pretty much brand new.

See www.tegwansnest.com.au and contact us about booking a stay. We are also on Airbnb.

The focus is private retreats / health groups, but also normal Airbnb type guests.

We still have availability for the mediaeval festival in August.

Min. booking is 3 nights currently, and children by request only.

The alpacas are still here and available for a feed.

Look who's back.... Ling Ling.
So good to see him, seems to visit us for a few days in winter, stand by the fire and warm up, strange little man... My little buddy...

Sad day today, we lost Queenie, our matriarch alpaca, the boss, my best mate. She was about 25, a good effort, sorely missed already...
