Trickle Creek is a rural farm experience and party venue at Hillcroft Road in Horokiwi, on the Wellington side of the hills. It is named after the creek that runs through the property, and its philosophy is that there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing.
Children can explore the creek and the land by hand, try new things, climb the hills and meet animals, with a chance to learn how to care for them. A caravan holds toys and dress-ups, and there is a covered child area for wet weather. The farm offers rural experiences, horse riding lessons, school holiday programmes, bespoke birthday parties and pony parties.
Louise, who runs the farm, is a qualified early childhood teacher with 23 years of experience and a current first aid certificate. Bookings are made through a calendar on the website, and new bookings are taken for the Burrow Inn, the farm's new place to stay, by email enquiry.
Our pick in Horokiwi for a birthday party or a school holiday day with animals, hills and creek.
