Loved our trip on TSS Earnslaw to Walter Peak for lunch. Food was amazing and the setting stunning. The farm show sheep shearing and gathering was very informative. We picked a perfect day. Its a photographers paradise. The trip back including a pianist was entertaining. One of the passengers from Sydney even had a chance to play the piano and sing. A great day out.

So glad we did this activity in Queenstown. A scenic cruise on the Earnslaw was interesting in itself. To see the workings of the old steamship was great and the boat itself allowed plenty of sightseeing on the way. The farm house building and surrounding gardens close to the jetty were absolutely beautiful and the bbq lunch amazing. Everything was delicious, it was well organised and there was plenty of food. Drinks were reasonably priced. The sheep shearing demo was interesting and also well done.

Very well organised, fast accommodating the ships passengers to a well presented buffet bbq lunch.
We added the farm experience and that was a good display of a working sheep dog under commands.
Totally worth doing.

My husband, son and myself had the best day. The cruise was beautiful with such a gorgeous day, prompt and friendly staff to greet us for our absolutely delicious lunch. Followed by a Farm Tour and look through the souvenir shop before reboarding and returning to Queenstown.

What a wonderful day we had on the TSS Earnslaw and the farm. The ride on the boat gives stunning views of the surrounding peaks. The buffet lunch at the farm was delicious and the farm show was fascinating.

The cruise was very interesting although we could not hear the commentary as the only seating was outside. The lunch was very nice. All staff were friendly and helpful
