点评:Our visit to Rose Creek Farm was absolutely a highlight of our trip to New Zealand. Andrew and Leigh-Anne's farm is the real deal--an actual working farm, not simply a manufactured petting zoo or photo op for tourists. We had an magical experience meeting, petting, and cuddling the amazingly gentle Valais black nose sheep. Andrew was friendly, genuine, knowledgeable, and we learned about the breeding process. We also enjoyed the vineyards set against a picturesque hillside backdrop and view and getting to meet the rest of the farm animals, including dogs, honeybees, and even got to feed their miniature rescue pony. All in all it was an incredible authentic experience; as Andrew told us, this is exactly what they would be doing on the farm on any given day, and we had the privilege of getting to experience it. The tour ended with a sampling of wine from their vineyard and honey from their bees (the most delicious we've ever tasted). This 1.5 hour tour is a hidden (probabaly for long!) gem and an unforgettable experience.
翻译:罗斯溪农场之旅绝对是我们新西兰之行的一大亮点。安德鲁和莉安的农场名副其实——一个真正运营的农场,而不是那种人为打造的宠物动物园或游客拍照打卡点。我们与温顺无比的瓦莱黑鼻绵羊亲密接触,抚摸它们,甚至拥抱它们,这真是一次奇妙的体验。安德鲁热情友好、真诚博学,我们还了解了绵羊的繁育过程。我们还欣赏了依山而建、风景如画的葡萄园,并有机会接触到农场里的其他动物,包括狗狗、蜜蜂,甚至还喂了他们救助的小矮马。总而言之,这是一次令人难以置信的真实体验;正如安德鲁所说,这就是他们每天在农场里做的事情,而我们有幸亲身感受。参观结束后,我们品尝了他们自家葡萄园的葡萄酒和自家蜜蜂酿造的蜂蜜(这是我们尝过最美味的蜂蜜)。这趟一个半小时的农场之旅是一处隐秘的宝藏(或许会一直鲜为人知!),也是一次令人难忘的体验。
