We’re your hosts
Hi, We’re Nil & Gav
Like everyone during the pandemic we started to evaluate our life and future and started to think about how we could do things differently. That grew into a move from London to South Wales to be a little more rural.
Looking after the planet shouldn’t be a chore, cost a fortune or make people’s lives more difficult.
We took a big step going from a 2 bedroom flat in West London to a 4 acre smallholding in rural South Wales. One of our first challenges was how we manage the land and put it to use.
This is when the idea of Alpacas came into play, they weren’t part of the original plan but quite quickly realised they were an animal that fitted with our ethos. They are calm, inquisitive, gentle-natured and not part of the food chain which was important.
What better way to start than with 4 boys all with Welsh names – Dylan, Dewi, Noa & Ceri. We can’t wait for you to meet them.

“Nilesh and Gavin were amazing hosts during our alpaca and afternoon tea experience.”
They’ve done such a good job with the farm and upkeep of the animals and we couldn’t recommend them enough! The afternoon tea was also lovely!
– Tomeka Baxter
“Quite possibly the best AirBnB experience that we’ve ever had.”
The garden is perfectly enclosed which was great for us, our little energetic dog is an escape artist. The Alpacas were so chilled around our dog and there’s so much room for a dog to explore.
