Welcome to Sierra Vista, the Alpaca Stud farm with Accommodation. We are situated in Swannanoa, North Canterbury, and set in 10 acres of attractive countryside with beautiful vistas of the foothills towards the Southern Alps.

Whether you’re an experienced alpaca breeder looking for a premium quality Alpaca stud, new to these fascinating and beautiful animals, or just want to spend time in a country environment, you will enjoy staying at Sierra Vista Alpacas with Diane & Graham.

Our enthusiasm and love for alpaca was kindled a number of years ago and influenced us to pursue our passion. We are a relatively small specialist Alpaca stud. Our main goal is breeding and improving Peruvian Huacayas and we maintain a programme for infusion of fresh bloodlines from the best available genetics both in NZ and overseas. We are proud to be directly associated with stud males such as Brujo, Emon, Belmont all of these are household names throughout the NZ industry. We are amongst the leaders in production of quality animals noted for fibre characteristics such as fineness, lustre and handle. We have females in Australia, which we are putting to some of Australias best Alpaca stud males. The progeny of which are coming to NZ to help with our Alpaca breeding program. Like most alpaca breeders we are more than happy to pass on what knowledge we have gained along the way so dont hesitate to contact us for a chat.
