Friendly alpacas in every colour, running to greet us over the green fields of the Karisma Animal Companions farm.

Karisma Animal Companions is an 18 acre property situated approximately 7kms from Hamilton City. We are on Howden road which is off the State Highway 23 (the Hamilton to Raglan road).

As well as our many alpacas we also provide a home for various cats, a keeshond dog called Zoe, another little dog called Zac, a friendly Kaimanawa pony, various chooks, and even a very sociable Jerusalem donkey - that's the kind that has the mark of the cross on its back.
Here we share a few photos of our property
and its inhabitants for you to enjoy.
Each one is a cropped miniature.

The ponies under the trees. The pagoda-like alpaca shelter with the alpacas nearby. Miriam and friends show how tame these animals are by wandering freely among them without them showing much concern. Down on the lower part of the property looking up towards the house.
The ponies enjoy a shady spot. The alpaca pagoda that Peter built. Well-loved alpacas become pretty tame. Gourmet food served in style.
