A great experience for everyone

This is a great combination tour for everyone especially for families. Kids and adults enjoyed the boat cruise and they get to see how the boat moves and what’s it like behind it. Walter peak farm tour is so cool! The dogs are really lovely and amazing with their show! Definitely recommend it to everyone! The afternoon tea is very yum too! ☺️

A brilliant experience and Asher was a great guide at the farm. Also the afternoon tea was lovely too. Also the steam boat was most enjoyable with beautiful scenery and well informed captain.

I loved the trip! I loved traveling on the Earnslaw, I really enjoyed the farm tour at the end and finally I loved the really scrumptious scones they served us for afternoon tea. If you love any the following: great views, history or animals you should consider taking this trip and if you love more than one you should definitely take this trip.

Excellent Trip

What wonderful way to experience Queenstown and the Lake. The TSS Earnslaw boat trip and BBQ lunch was a brilliant experience, assisted by the calm, sunny day that we had. The trip gave us the opportunity to travel on a beautifully restored boat to Walter Peak Station and then be able to wander around the well kept, beautiful gardens and grounds before an outstanding lunch. Due to COVID restrictions the BBQ buffet lunch was replaced with a buffet to table service which I think was even better experience wise. Attentive service from our wait staff and some great local wine made it for a wonderful lunch. Time after to wander around the grounds, check out some of the "pet" livestock and a quick introduction to how sheep dogs do their job made it a great afternoon. Highly recommended.

The working dogs were amazing to see them in action, the host was very knowledgeable and friendly, the farm tour was well worth it, I would go again! The beautiful afternoon tea in the big house was delicious with a log fire and welcoming staff. Throughly enjoyed the day and the sing song around the piano rounded the experience off completely!

My family and I had so much fun with this experience for my birthday yesterday!! From the TSS Earnslaw ride with lovely and chill music playing at the background (the lady playing the piano was amazing and talented). At the Walter Peak, I was completely in awe of its beauty. I just wish i had time to walk around the place as time was hectic in this activity. The farm show was fun too, those farm dogs were amazing! And finally, the BBQ BUFFET LUNCH! That was super delicious! Overall I would rate it as 10/10. Super happy with the experience!

An amazing experience and great value.....

We used the book.me site to get the $65 deal for the Earnslaw cruise and Walter Peak Station lunch. It was a fabulous experience and the barbecue lunch was absolutely fantastic. The most tender meat including Canterbury lamb, roast pork, beef, designer sausages and chicken. There was a wide range of salads and hot vegetables. Cold meats, olives, cheeses and then the most gorgeous array of desserts. The boat trip was lovely and included at Walter Peak was a display of working farm dogs herding some sheep. A fantastic experience which I would recommend highly.

Absolutely loved this steamboat trip with gourmet BBQ and shearing demonstration. We didn't expect much as booked spontaneously online but we loved the old fancy boat, the pianist on the boat set the scene, too but was just outstanding was the buffet BBQ. We're gonna dream about that for months or even years to come. The restaurant was in such a break spot as well. Highly recommended!

So amazing. The views on the earnslaw on the way out are fantastic. The boat is beautiful, farm tour great for those visiting New Zealand. If your from NZ then you’ve seen a sheep being sheared but still cool. Finally the food was delicious!! We had the lunch and we loved it.

Got a great deal and it was more than value for money!! The Earnslaw it’s self puts that special mark on the day and it’s nice to see the old photos from its first sail to feeling the heat off its coals on this fantastic steam engine. The farm tour is ran very well with the staff on hand to answer any questions while you go ahead and feed all the animals on site. Then the afternoon tea, what bonus!! They were literally the best scones I’ve ever had and you can put as much cream and jam in as you like!!!

A relaxing, serene and picturesque Steamship journey followed by the best meal of our week here.Shearing and working dog display also enjoyable and informative. We nearly didn't do this but decided to fill in our last day with a trip and so glad we did. Another success from bookme NZ!

BBQ lunch at the Colonel's Homestead

What a fab way to spend 4 hours. Cruising aboard the 1912 Steamship - TSS Earnslaw (launched the same year as the Titanic - with a better outcome!) - sail to Walter Peak Station- then a magnificent sit down ( in a comfortable restaurant) BBQ lunch smorgasbord. A glass of wine and desert and a wall of candy to finish. Then a seat on the beach or admire the cottage gardens ( grown in the mild microclimate of this area) or experience some sheep shearing. So easy and enjoyable. Highly recommended.

Location is 45 minutes drive from Queenstown. We were dreading the drive to their location but it was actually okay. I had fun revving up the engine while my partner was hanging on to her seat and shouting in excitement as well. It was a cloudy/sunny day and we still got a little muddy/dusty so make sure to bring a washcloth and water to clean yourself with as there is nothing to wash with on site.

My husband had barely smiled all morning until we got here. You couldn't wipe the smile from his face for the rest of the day after this. The south island sure know how to have fun. These go fast and handle beautifully. A really well laid out track. I went around with hubby twice and had to bail as he was too fast for me. I really recommend this to anyone wanting an experience they won't forget in a hurry in such an amazing setting. We will be booking in again next time we return to the region. This is not a farm quad bike it's the real deal. Come prepared for thrills and fun! Thanks for having us

This was great fun and the track was better than anticipated. Took a while to find the location but just follow the x signs and it's easy. Would definitely do this again.
