Welcome to alpacasonthehill.com, the on-line home of Munlochy Alpacas. We are Noelle and Howard Bennett and since 2004 we have been breeding alpacas close to Dunedin in Otago on the beautiful South Island of New Zealand.

Alpacas in brief

If you spend a few minutes browsing through our site it will be easy to see what attracted us to alpacas. They are clean, intelligent, peaceful animals that are relatively easy to handle and safe around children. They also offer a lifestyle with benefits and opportunities for the whole family. Raising alpacas is a labour of love but relaxation, fun and a potential source of income are the rewards of keeping these endearing animals.  There are two types, huacaya and suri, and they occur in many natural colours so basically there are perfect alpacas for everyone no matter what their preference!

Our services

At Munlochy Alpacas we currently have two impressive males available for stud services and we also offer huacaya alpacas for sale.

For those of you who would like to invest in alpacas but do not have the land to keep them, we are able to offer agistment services.

Fibre, yarn and 100% alpaca fibre fashion accessories

We offer fleece and yarn for sale, and are currently in the process of developing an exclusive range of unique fashion accessories made from 100% alpaca fibre - no blends here, just pure luxury. Visit www.el-paca.co.nz to find out more or click on the link below

Shows and farm visits

Alpaca breeders from all walks of life interact with each other by participating in shows and farm visits, and by sharing their acquired expertise. Showing alpacas is an enjoyable experience for both exhibitors and spectators. If you are interested in finding out about alpacas then going along to one of the many shows put on by the Royal Agricultural Society in New Zealand is a good staring point. Find out where and when your local show is and talk to the breeders there from your area - perhaps you could arrange to visit their farm. This common interest and support has been the start of many friendships.
