The Ultimate Central Coast Day Trip — Why Iris Lodge Alpacas Should Be Your First Stop

Just an hour north of Sydney, the Central Coast offers the perfect blend of coastal charm and countryside tranquillity — and there’s no better way to start your adventure than at Iris Lodge Alpacas in Jilliby.

Here, guests enjoy breakfast surrounded by alpacas, llamas, and sheep while soaking in stunning valley views. Unlike petting zoos, every animal is a beloved pet — calm, gentle, and happy to be hand-fed.

Our ‘Brunch with Alpacas’ experience lets you slow down, connect with nature, and enjoy fresh local produce while meeting over 140 friendly animals. It’s an authentic slice of rural Australia, loved by families, couples, and international visitors alike.

After brunch, you’re minutes away from local gems like TreeTops Adventure Park, Wyong Milk Factory, and Norah Head Lighthouse — perfect for a full-day itinerary.
