Haute Goat Farm: Have a Sleepover with Alpacas

Have you ever wanted to spend the night with Alpacas? If you answered yes to this question then keep reading. Haute Goat Farm in Port Hope offers just that and it might very well be the most unique night you’ll have in Ontario!


What if I told you there is a place in Ontario where you can have a sleepover with alpacas? Yes, you’ve read correctly! Haute Goat Farm in Port Hope offers one of the most unique sleeping experiences in Ontario : a sleepover with alpacas.

Located halfway between Toronto and Kingston, this should definitely be added to you Ontario bucketlist! I recenly spent the night there and it was one of the cutest and most surreal adventures I’ve had!

Here is what you need to know for your next visit

Haute Goat Farm

Sleeping in the Alpaca Pen at Haute Goat Farm

Imagine waking up, opening your door and facing a group of alpacas looking curiously at you! That is exactly the experience you’ll have if you spend the night in the Alpaca Pen at Haute Goat Farm. But fear not, you won’t be sleeping on a pile of hay. Haute Goat has repurposed an alpaca shed into a cute and cozy tiny cabin big enough for a Queen bed, two chairs and some board games. It might be small but what you loose in space inside, you gain outside!

What is so special about this experience is that you will get exclusive access to the alpaca pen. You’ll get to interact with them and maybe even make a friend or two. And trust me, they will be just as curious about you then you are about them.

Warning //  There are no bathroom in the alpaca cabin. Toilets are further away on the site, so bring a flashlight if you need to pee at night.

Outside, you’ll also find a fire pit with a few chairs perfect for a summer night with the alpacas!


What to expect with the alpacas?

Alpacas are extremely curious animals, but also very cautious. Mostly, they will look at you from afar wondering what kind of farm animal you are! Much like humans, they each have their own personality : one is the boss lady and she is very protective of her herd, one is extremely friendly and easily one over, others don’t really care about you and would rather mind their own business. What I’m trying to say is, don’t go in thinking they are going to run up to you like puppies and want some pets. However, with a bit of patience, you’ll be able to create bonds with some of them and they will let you be their friend and pet them!

We also all know that Alpaca can spit! And although this happens from time to time, we were quickly reassured that these alpacas are used to visitors and rarely spit. Just don’t bet them on their back or on their head (they don’t like it!)!

Warning //  This experience is not suitable for kids under the age of 9.


What to bring for your night at Haute Goat Farm?

Haute Goat has got you covered when it comes to making your adventure absolutely incredible! They provide the bedding and pillows for the bed and breakfast for 2 is included in the stay. You’ll actually have to choose between 4 breakfast options the night before and everything will be ready and waiting for you at 9:30 the next morning. The cabin is also winterized and heated so you don’t have to worry about freezing on those cold Fall and Winter nights.

There is also a restaurant on site that offers a variety of homemade meals and snacks! I highly recommend you try the goat cheese Mac&Cheese!

So what will you have to bring? Here is a list :

  • Flashlight or headlamp
  • Bug repellent (in the summer)
  • Snacks if you get hungry in the evening

How to make the most of your stay on the farm?

Help with the farm chores in the morning

Every morning, at 8 am, the farm comes alive with farm chores. When you spend the night at Haute Goat, you have the unique opportunity to help with these chores : feeding the animals, cleaning the pens and – my favorite – snuggling the animals (especially the baby goats)!


  Do the Goat Shmurgle

You can’t visit Haute Goat without getting to know the goats of course! And the signature experience here is the Shmurgle experience where you’ll get to bring the goats on a walk around the pasture and snuggle the babies in their enclosure afterwards!


Bring the alpacas on a walk

Want to spend more time with the alpacas? Forget walking the dog and walk an alpaca instead. Join the Knuffle Shuffle experience to take your very own alpaca on a stroll across the property.

* P.S. I was invited by Haute Goat for this stay but all opinions (and obsessions) are 100% mine!
