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”.

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!”

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!”
