Delicious trip - This is the most delicious meal you will ever have in your life. The meats were mouthwatering. Everything was to die for, including the desserts. Loved the shearing and dog demonstration. A wonderful activity.

Above Expectation - Usually I don't have high expectations of cruise & dinner. But this dinner was not on board but at a restaurant! The dinner spread was just fabulous & delicious. Really spoilt for choice. Highly recommended for this offering and value for money.

We especially enjoyed the sheep sheering and sheep dog show after dinner. - This is a very fancy buffet dinner; not at all what we had expected at a farm. The setting is just gorgeous. The dinner is in an elaborate "farmhouse" with crystal chandeliers. The grounds are very pretty with lots of flowers. We especially enjoyed the sheep sheering and sheep dog show after dinner.

As a past border collie owner, loved the dog show. - Dinner was lovely and Ardo the dog was the star of the show. Instructions on meals and the show were very clear. Just remember to grab a blanket from the main house for the dog show if it is cold!

Well worth it - amazing food! - Well worth it. Well organised, food was amazing. Rug up as the farm show is in the open and it’s freezing - we had been well prepared. We did the Sunset cruise - scenery was spectacular on the way. Don’t eat beforehand!

Walter Peak BBQ Dinner - Walter Peak bbq dinner was great. We had the RealNZ ferry across which was a pleasant journey, then bbq dinner followed by the farm show, then back on ferry at the end of night. Food was hot, plentiful and a large variety to choose from. If you are after photos of your experience it maybe in the dark so not many opportunities to be had especially in the colder months.

Stuffed Bellies! - I thought we were gonna ride the TSS Earnslaw as described in the booking tab.. but instead, it was a regular modern RealNz boat.. that was the only disappointment I had.. otherwise all else was great! The food and the venue was superb! My husband and I were both stuffed! The farm show was alright but was definitely fun to watch and the host was interactive. The staffs on the boat and on the venue property were awesome!
