Had a lovely experience with my partner on the dinner and cruise in Queenstown. Three course dinner was excellent along with the service from the staff from start to finish.

Waste of Money

My partner and I paid $200 for a meat platter that came out cold and wasn’t enough to feed the two of us. $40 for a guaranteed window seat, on a boat that fit every group in front of a window.. so there was no need to pay that. $70 for 4 glasses of wine. Very very disappointed, the only good thing about it was the view which we could have sat on the Jetty and watched for free.
