Wonderful Cruise & Farm Trip - The tour offered a great experience on the Cruise and at the Farm. Everything is calm, chill and relaxing. The Cruise offered me a great view of landscape, making me immerse my soul into the nature: Lake, Mountains, Sun and Plants. The Farm Show was so lovely led by a friendly staff - she and her show amazed me in every interaction. I love afternoon tea. I randomly captured a pic of a female customer, and I sent her the pic. This pic was taken her portrait and the tea set, mingled in the sunshines , the lights and the blue-sea backgrounds blended the green of grass, trees and others, making her portrait pic is such an artful Painting. When come to the address marked on the Trip guide, please follow the valley heading to the Port to access and check in. You cannot find the exact place in the Google Map. Please follow the side of Port, it’s placed in front of the Cruise area.

Working like a dog takes on new meaning - Watching Kim the short haired Australian sheep dog bring the sheep down this very steep hill was the highlight. The buffet lunch is excellent and has something for every appetite that will be delicious. We enjoyed watching the sheep sheering as well and loved the narration of this working farm.
