We always have babies being born, and no matter what time of year you visit, you will see new arrivals.
We are blessed with a wild and beautiful landscape, with stunning views and are surrounded by bush-clad hills.
There’s something for everyone! All age groups enjoy the farm.

Our farm invites visitors to explore, relax, and enjoy a sense of freedom and discovery. It is the perfect place for children to run, learn and connect with nature, while parents relax and take in the beautiful surroundings.

We believe that staying safe around animals requires a blend of confidence, calmness, and respect. These qualities grow through positive, well-supervised experiences and learning. At Bullswool Farm, children can spend time with our friendly farm animals and enjoy real hands-on interaction in a safe environment. Our custom-made scoops and feeding stations let even very young children safely feed and engage with our even our biggest animals.

Using feeder scoops, visitors can hand-feed all animals, making every encounter interactive, memorable, and fun. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a returning farm friend, our animals are sure to delight everyone.

What Our Guests Are Saying

Voted the Southern Coromandel’s Best Attraction

The best we’ve been to

“Visiting animal attractions is our family’s ‘Thing’. We’ve been to lots of farm and animal parks in both Europe and Australia, and this is the best we’ve ever been to”.

The Kirbys,

Australia

A magical day for the kids!

We visited Bullswoof Farm Park during our road trip through the Coromandel, and it was hands-down the kids’ favorite stop. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome. The interactive animal areas were a huge hit — my youngest couldn’t stop talking to the goats! The wooden play structures were imaginative and safe, and the mini bike track kept them entertained for ages. It’s rare to find a place that blends nature, play, and kindness so beautifully. We’ll definitely be back!”

Highlight of our trip!

“On the flight back home, I asked my daughter what the highlight of our three-month trip to Australia and New Zealand was, and she said ‘The Farm’.”

Highly Recommend!

“We had an exceptional day at Bullswool for a Birthday Party. Sue, the owner, truly made our family visit special with her hospitality. The animals were so friendly and added so much joy to our experience. The park is a fantastic destination for families with young children. There are plenty of fun wooden structures, like trucks and a helicopter–perfect for kids to explore. My grandson especially loved the small bikes for toddlers and the track. We all enjoyed the delightful little bush walk. Overall, a wonderful experience. Highly recommend Bullswool Farm Park!”

Frequently Asked Questions

We’re happy to answer all questions about our farm!

If you can’t find the answer to your question, please feel free to use the contact form here or give us a call–we would love to hear from you.

Does the farm accommodate wheelchair access?

Many wheelchair users visit the farm, and we get good feedback from them. Our main animal area and all of the museums are accessible. However, the amount of mobility depends heavily on the wheelchair. Motorised ones can usually make it to our lookout, whereas pushed ones usually can’t, unless there’s a fair bit of strength available. The farm is pram-friendly. Our Native Bird Reserve track has many stairs and is therefore unsuitable for prams and wheelchairs.

Can I bring my dog?

As much as we love dogs, unfortunately, they are not allowed on the farm, and must remain outside or stay in your car for the duration of your visit. Shady parking spots are sometimes available, but please do not bring your dog to the farm on hot days.

Do I have to pay for my Nana, who is on a walker?

There is no charge for visitors with very limited mobility.

Will my 18-month-old, teenager, hipster uncle like the Farm too?

The farm has a lot to see and do, and generally, there’s something for everyone. If you are the sort of person who would enjoy visiting a zoo or a museum, chances are you will love to spend a day at our farm.

Can we bring a picnic or a packed lunch to eat at the farm?

Absolutely! Visitors are very welcome to bring a picnic and spend time at one of our several peaceful picnic areas. It’s the perfect way to take a break, soak up the stunning rural surroundings, and make your day at Bullswool Farm Park even more relaxing and memorable.
