The cruise and farm experience was so well organized. We had a lovely day cruising to the farmstead and enjoyed a most delicious meal with lots of veggies, meats, cheeses and desserts. The sheep sheering and herding event gave us a look into the life on the farm. All in all, the perfect timeframe to experience a special piece of Queenstown.

Having an authentic steamboat ride was a treat. The smooth trip across the lake was lovely and the blowing of the horn on arrival back was really cool to hear. The afternoon tea food was very nice however could have been arranged differently to avoid a mad rush of people all at once. We loved the farm tour with Josh. He was super informative and very nice. He really knows everything about the animals and the farm and it was a pleasure having him as our tour guide.

Enjoyed watching and learning about the animals and learning of all the training involved for the sheep dog, and the devotion of the trainer. I was also pleased that on the track there was an alternate route that avoided stairs which enabled my mother to complete the walk. High tea had a lot of variety. Place clean & well organised. Ship added a touch of nostalgia to my day. Weather was perfect. All in all, it was a perfect day.

Lovely cruise the views were spectacular and enjoyed the buffet lunch. The farm show was good fun and Kip the dog was the star. There could have been better organisation on both the seating on the cruise as there were reserved tables which was not available at the time of booking. The buffet appeared to be a free for all!
