QUALITY SELF CONTAINED ACCOMMODATION - MERCURY BAY - COROMANDEL - NEW ZEALAND
 
Meet the animals of "Dragonfly Farm"



Tessa
- is a really friendly Labrador cross. Don’t be afraid of her loud bark. She likes to keep us safe and let us know of anyone arriving at Dragonfly Farm. Tessa loves sticks, so if you find one lying around, she will love it if you throw it for her!



TRAILER
- is a Fox Terrier puppy and he is only 1 year old. He is learning to be a good boy “slowly”! He loves cuddles and to meet new people. We try to teach him not to go into the Cottage area; so as much as he may want to visit you, please don’t encourage him to come in. Anywhere in the rest of the Farm is fine!



EDDIE
- is our gorgeous little Silver Tabby cat. He spends a large part of his day sleeping in the bush or on various beds in our house. So, you will only see him if you are really lucky. He loves to wander around the farm at night and look for mice!



PENELOPE, PINKY & PERKY
Penelope is our pet Kune Kune pig. You will probably see her wandering round the farm in the afternoons, when we are home. She actually thinks she is a dog!
Pinky and Perky are our farm pigs – in this photo they are only 6 weeks old. They are all really friendly and love a good head scratch!



GEORGIA, BLACK BEAUTY & SOFIA
- are our pet sheep. They can all be hand fed with “sheep nuts”. So if you would like to feed them, please let us know and we will give you some feed. Beauty was born in Dec 2009 and is Sofia’s daughter. We will be breeding from Georgia and Sofia again this year. Their lambs will be due in July or August 2010.



ANGEL & HOLLY
- are our pet donkeys. If you have apples they will let you cuddle them, but they do like them cut into slices. They are a bit fussy! Angel and Holly are only young. Angel is 4 years old and was born on Christmas Day and Holly is 3 years old and was born on Boxing Day. Donkey’s live for about 50 years, so we will be leaving them to the kids!



COOKIE, LITTLE RED & CARAMEL
- are our calves. We hand reared Cookie and Caramel this year from 4 days old, so they are really used to humans and happy for a head scratch. Little Red is a bit shy, but he is coming round.
We will breed from Caramel when she is 2 years



LAVENDAR
- is a purebred White Galloway. She is lovely and she will be having a calf in December this year (we hope).
A Christmas baby!



THE CHICKENS
- provide us with some amazing “free range” eggs, which are really tasty! If you would like some, please let us know. You will probably see Lilly, Frizzel & Roster around the cottage garden, looking for bugs. The rest generally stay in the coupe. We do provide you with ear-plugs if you don’t like Roster’s early morning wake-up!
