Amazing Experience - This was an absolute delight! favorite part of our trip to Queenstown. The boat ride is stunning and everyone was lovely. The farm house was beautiful and warm. Would be great for a wedding. the food was so good, everything you could possibly want out of a BBQ and more, Seafood, Lamb, Pork, Beef, and salads. Great desert bar and lolly jars. The show at the end was great too. All round amazing experience.

Enjoyable. Relaxing. Scenic.Value for money. - Can recommend this trip. Relaxing boat ride to Walter Peak station. Followed by a wonderful dinner. So much to choose from. Delicious food and BBQ meats followed by great selection of desserts. Then we had an enjoyable display of a eye dog working and a sheep being crutche and belly shawn off. Worth the money for sure.

Foodie - Smooth and easy cruise on Earnslaw, dog / sheep shearing demo was a good way to finish trip but the food was the reason you go, absolutely. Choice and quality of food was great.

A great way to spend a few hours - The TSS Earnslaw itself is a snapshot in time, and worth the trip alone. The crew were very friendly, and knowledgeable about the boat, and the history. The food was delicious; a great example of NZ cuisine, and the views outstanding.
