Our two Labradors

Our two Labradors are simply adorable – Brutus is an English Labrador and has a personality second to none. Lily is an American Labrador, sweet and loves cuddles.
Our miniature donkeys
Oscar & Mindy
These two cuties standing at 90 cm tall is a only 2 of a few Mediterranean Mini donkeys in NZ. 3.5 years old they heritage back to Cherrybank Stud.
Our miniature highlanders
Moonie, Scotch & Cherry
Our fluff balls are still a work in progress as they arrived just a few months ago. They love apples, grapefruit and oranges as a treat.
Miniature Riggit Galloway
Oreo
Oreo descends from an award-winning bull at Cherrybank Stank Even though she is mini – she certainly fills some big hooves especially when you see those beautiful eyelashes!
Muscovy ducks
Harold & Sophie
Harold turned up on our doorstep – dropped and unwanted. He had such a wagging tail personality that we decided to adopt him. With an attitude and preference to girls, we totally fell in love with him. Sophie was gifted to us by one of our lovely neighbours. She is gentle and such an elegant lady duck.
Guinea Fowls
They are our noisy residents. Always warning us if intruders are about to come close.
Turkeys
One of the biggest ground walking birds. They astound you with their beauty when it’s mating time and quietly walks about…well until the kids starts laughing or making a noise. Joining in the fun and communication is what they love.
Runner ducks
These little white ‘agents’ are always milling around ready to go together where ever they get led too.
Chickens
Our lovely hens are shavers and lay some beautiful eggs for us. The rooster walks about guarding them and showing off his beautiful colours.
Sheep
Our flock of sheep are always happy to greet our visitors.
