Step right into the paddock at Real Country, a private sheep station just south of Queenstown, for the most hands-on animal encounter in the region.
Unlike other Queenstown farm experiences where you’re one of a big crowd, we keep this experience small and personal, so you actually get time with the animals, not just a glimpse over someone else’s shoulder.
This is a self-guided, 15 minute experience. We keep sessions short to keep our animals well rested and happy.
If you don’t have transport, book our Queenstown to Real Country experience instead. Return transport from central Queenstown is included, so all you need to do is show up.

“We had the BEST time at Real Country in Kingston! Such an amazing, hands-on experience. We got to pet and feed sheep, horses, and alpacas, which made it so much fun and interactive, not just watching, but actually being part of it. The animals were well cared for, the staff were super friendly and welcoming, and the whole experience felt authentic and relaxed.”
