Visitor info

Great you’d like to know more about visiting us!
We are looking forward meeting you!

Operating hours

Opening times are seasonal and limited please observe them carefully. No bookings necessary. Due to the uniqueness of the tour which allows handling of most animals it is necessary to have these short times as the point is for the animals to enjoy this time and participate willingly which they would not if we were open all day, every day. So please check carefully to avoid disappointment. The tours are not structural, so every tour is different.

You can arrive anytime between 12pm and the start of the last tour. You simply ‘jump on board’ and continue the tour until you have done everything.

Duration and tour experience

Duration of the tour:                    1,5 – 3 hours.

Paul’s Place-tours are not structured. Duration depends on the amount of people, interests of people and moods of the animals on that day. There are also often ‘extra sections’ such as a nesting emu or baby animals for example.

If you need to plan around a more specific time please contact us with the date you are intending to take a tour and we can usually advise a more accurate duration time.

Please note: when you visit Paul’s Place, you are not visiting a conventional 200 or wildlife park environment. You are basically welcomed into our home and that of the animals. Paul’s Place is not run as a ‘big business’, but a place which allows for special encounters between visitors and animals to continue to care for them.

Most days Paul’s Place tours are conducted for very few people, often the groupsize is small.
There are a few days of the year, when visitor numbers exceed what we can take on tour. This is rare but occasionally there may be a longer wait or we ask people to return and then hold a tour later than usual for people and animal enjoyment. This only occurs about 4 or 5 days a year but is possible. We do our best on any given day to give you a personalized experience.

Getting here

Paul’s Place is located on the North Coast of the Island, 4km inland from Stokes Bay and approximately a 15 minute drive from Parndana.
