Stay in a comfortable wagon on our farm

Wake up to the countryside in our wagons - right in between meadows and fenced pastures, always close to nature! The wagons on our farm Esperanza-Hof are not just a place to stay. They offer a very special experience.
Awareness and time with animals

About 70 animals live on our farm. Get to know them, help in the barn or join us on a guided walk with the animals.
Listen to the cackling hens, the ee-awing donkeys – walk barefoot in the morning dew and feel the grass beneath your feet – feel alive with all your senses.
Donkey walks

Explore the rolling hills of the Mostviertel region with our six four-pawed hiking enthusiasts, our donkeys. Immerse yourself in the beautiful scenery. Slow down as you walk next to these peaceful animals. A very special way of hiking!
Holidays with your own horses

There's enough space for your horses in our free-range stable with access to the pasture. Our staff will be happy to take care of your horses. You can stay in one of our comfy wagons next to the barn. (25 EUR per horse per stay.)

The magic of a peaceful winter in nature

Nestled in the peaceful scenery smooth winter walks invite you to immerse yourself in nature in silence, far away from the noises and cares. But also the mountains are calling silently: The ski resort on the mountain Ötscher and the cross-country ski trail in Puchenstuben are within a short drive. The majestic hillsides of the ski resort on the mountain Hochkar are a 1-hour’s drive. Here, you can experience winter in all facets at your own pace.

Made with love, delicious and fair ...

Our farm produce - natural treasures from Esperanzahof
We are passionate about creating a special range of products on our farm Esperanzahof. Treasures that nature provides you with. Get to know our hand-made alpaca hair soaps, soft alpaca wool, warm insoles and beanies. Or do something good to your garden by using our alpaca’s manure as a natural fertiliser. Every product reflects our connection with nature - locally sourced and made with love.

Start your stay on our farm Esperanzahof with a large breakfast basked (to be ordered two days before arrival at the latest). It’s filled with fresh bread, home-made jam, locally sourced honey, yoghurt, savoury spreads, butter, milk and eggs from our chicken (subject to availability) for EUR 25 (2 people) or EUR 35 (4 people). A piece of nature for a delicious start of the day - prepared with great care.

Our animals and their home

Esperanza, chaired by Mag.a Martina Kotzina, has been offering animal-assisted pedagogical support for children and teenagers for more than 20 years. More than that, it’s also home to about 70 animals: donkeys, horses, sheep, alpacas, mules, Kunekune pigs, chicken, ducks, budgies, guinea pigs, cats, dogs and a turtle. Let us introduce some of them: the shimmering ducks “Gina”, “Gini”, “Mrs. Horst” and “Lord”, the cats “Stello”, “Rapunzel”, “Moritz” and “Cola” and our dog “Oscar” with his girlfriend “Laika”, the fluffy alpacas “Bella”, “Benita”, “Bibiane”, “Alaya”, “Cosima”, “Ebony”, “Elisa” and “Miele”, our friendly donkeys “Wiggerl”, “Raphael”, “Wilma”, “Rosinante”, “Bernie” and “Benjamin”, our two mules “Mauli” and “Muli”, the horses “Nelson”, “Barcley”, “Jacob”, “Czar” and “Yakari”, our pigs “Leo” and “Sam”, the woolly sheep “Lisa”, “Lotta”, “Elvis”, “Gustav”, “Leon”, “Lilli”, “Willi”, “Ursi”, “Ulli”, “Timo”, “Till”, “Sixtus”, “Mundi”, “Lissi”, “Sunny” and “Orange, the sociable budgies “Willi”, “Menthos”, “Merlin”, “Stitch” and “Lilu”, the bouncy guinea pigs, the colourful flock of chicken and our turtle “Hellena”.

If you’d like to get to know our farm even better, you can help in the barn or join us on a walk with the animals. Our animals are not a mere “petting zoo” nor spineless “therapy animals”. First and foremost, they need ample space, protection and care according to their needs.

We shall be patient and have time for them regularly. And that’s what we love to do!
