What a fabulous experience ! We took the farm tour, and were thrilled to be able to feed so many animals - especially our family favourite the “hairy coos” - and watch sheep shearing. While the farm tour doesn’t include the buffet lunch, you get to do and see so much more and still get a delicious high tea.

Originally we had planned to cruise over to Walter Peak farm on the TSS Earnslaw, which we had done with the family back in 2021 but this time we were informed it was undergoing annual maintenance. Initially, we were disappointed but then relieved we would still be able to make the trip over on the catamaran Spirit of Queenstown. The trip over was a smooth 40 minutes with great weather. We had booked the BBQ buffet lunch and had fantastic seating for our family indoors next to the fireplace. A mouth watering variety of BBQ meats, vegetables, salads, seafood and desserts all fresh and you will want to go back for seconds and thirds. After the meal there's a sheepdog demonstration and you can explore the farm. We had a lovely and memorable experience.
