Dining Experiences in Queenstown

Excellent scenic comfortable steamer ship journey and experience. Professional crew. Well stocked bar and great coffee! Terrific views and great fun! Take the trip on a fine sunny day!

The booking process was painless and the disembarking of passengers from the Earnslaw and boarding of new passengers was very efficiently handled. With one exception we found staff generally helpful and kind. They worked hard, especially the man in the engine room stoking the fireboxes for the boilers. Having access to the engine room was a memorable experience and information about the Earnslaw was readily available. What impressed us most was the attention to detail including the staff coming out to wave a welcome to guests as the Earnslaw approached Walter Peak Station. Feeding 250 people was no mean feat. The food was excellent and there was plenty of it. Finally, the giftshop was well stocked and the farm show informative and we'll-presented. A Korean couple sat next to us at dinner. We asked them what they liked so far. The husband replied, "it's like heaven!" You couldn't get a better accolade than that!

Great cruise on the old steamer...... there and back!!! Just a perfect day!!! We got a great seat at the Homestead restaurant...... with a front seat view of the Lake....topped off by the best BBQ lunch we've had in ages!! The BBQ meats along with the rest of the meal were "to die for". The sheep shearing and dog demonstration was a great addition. Don't change anything. We had a glorious day!!! Thanks so much.

Everything was seemless. We thought it was great value for money and had a great experience from beginning to end. Boat was beautiful and dinner was good quality and as much as you could eat.

The Earnshaw is a beautiful boat and the trip across the lake was so relaxing and views stunning. Booking ticket was easy online and simple process to pick up physical ticket at departure location. You do have to arrive early if you are in a group and want to sit together.

It was great to do a cruise on this historic vessel and to learn about its engineering and functioning. The trip itself was very pleasant and the scenery was amazing. We were fortunate to have lovely, sunny weather on the day of our trip.

Going on the TSS Earnslaw Cruise was a wonderful experience, it was easy to book, very relaxing , the views of the lake were breathtaking, food was excellent, staff were fun, the whole experience was just superb, thank you! Highly recommend this tour.

I didn't really know what to expect except for a boat ride and farm tour So I was really surprised how wonderful the whole excursion was lovely
