Booking a Group Event at Iris Lodge Alpacas: Schools, Seniors, & Social Clubs

If you are tasked with planning a school excursion, a seniors' social club outing, or a corporate team-building day on the Central Coast, finding a venue that balances education, safety, and engagement can be a challenge.

Iris Lodge Alpacas offers tailored, private weekday group bookings that bypass the rushed, high-volume crowds of traditional tourist attractions. Located in the quiet valleys of Jilliby, our 93-acre property provides an authentic, educational look into sustainable Australian farm life.

Educational Tours & School Excursions

Iris Lodge Alpacas is a proud provider for the "Kids to Farms" initiative, hosting curriculum-aligned primary and secondary school excursions (Kindergarten through Year 12).

Our hands-on outdoor classroom teaches students about:

1. Sustainable Agriculture: How cross-grazing alpacas and Wiltipoll sheep improves soil health naturally.

2. Biosecurity & Land Care: Real-world examples of weed management, water conservation, and protecting native habitats.

3. Animal Husbandry: Understanding alpaca behavior, fleece processing, and ethical livestock management.

Teacher & Admin Checklist: Our entire hosting team holds current Working with Children Checks (WWCC), and we provide comprehensive risk assessment documentation and full public liability insurance certificates upon booking.
