The experience

The alpacas at Toffeemont are the centerpiece: you wander the farm at your own pace, engaging with the animals or simply absorbing the calm they create. You'll hand-feed the residents, get close enough for selfies, and learn what makes these inquisitive creatures tick from someone who works with them daily. The farm sits only 15 minutes from Hobart airport and 15 minutes from Richmond, so it slots easily into a drive toward the east coast or a loop through the Coal River Valley wine region.

After the alpaca time, you settle in for morning or afternoon tea with homemade goodies while browsing Australian alpaca products and Tasmanian-made goods on sale. The whole visit runs 90 minutes. Tours depart at 10am, 1pm or 3pm, and you'll need to book ahead through their website. Group bookings are welcome and the operators encourage you to contact them for larger parties.

The farm is family-owned and operated, and all areas are wheelchair accessible. Infants can ride in a pram or stroller, and small children sit on an adult's lap. The setup works for any fitness level, so the only real variable is which time slot fits your day.

What’s included

• Morning or afternoon tea with homemade goodies.
