Great property, wonderful hosts and Happy Animals 😁 - I came with my girlfriend. We had a tour with one of the owners Jaya. She was super fun and knowledgeable. The animals seemed very happy and were very friendly. We would definitely recommend this place for someone looking for an hour of entertainment and learning. She gave such a great description on how she got each animal and their stories. I can really appreciate how they keep the amount of animals to a minimum so it felt like i was visiting a friendly farm rather than a petting zoo

A hidden gem and a wonderful way to spend an afternoon with animals in nature - Cannot say enough positive things about this experience. Our private tour was led by one of the owners, and he was so friendly and knowledgeable. It was incredible learning the stories of the various rescue animals, and we got to spend a generous amount of time in each of the pens feeding and petting them. The property is gorgeous and it was such a wonderful afternoon spent. Highly recommend!

Hands-on farm family time! - Our toddler loves animals and we wanted to give her a hands-on experience. Napping House farm was the perfect place. Our tour guide was patient, kind and knowledgeable. We loved getting to know all the sweet animals and their stories of rescue. 10/10 experience for animal lovers!

Wonderful afternoon connecting with rescued farm animals - Really wonderful tour of the farm, with interesting information on the rescued animals. It was amazing for our family of 4 to connect with the animals and learn more about what it takes to run the farm. We walked across the farm and met the horses, pigs, donkeys, emus and waterfowl. Owners were incredibly kind, and we learned about their journey as farmers. Can't wait to visit another time!
