We were booked for an afternoon cruise only but on check in we discovered that the boat had broken down. We were re-booked onto the evening cruise and upgraded to include the dinner at Walter Peak. What a fantastic experience! The boat itself is fascinating and took us 45 mins to our destination for dinner. It was incredibly well organised with great service, food galore at great quality - including plenty of fish / shellfish options.Multiple choices of desserts and the lolly cupboard! Followed by a sheep shearing demo in the auditorium before our return trip to Queenstown. A lovely multi genre family trip enjoyed by all.

Get to see all the surrounding mountains as you navigate lake Wakatipu, you get to enjoy an awesome and well organised dinner. There is an open deck so you can see the Earnslaw engine working.

It was a fun trip across the lake in a steam ship. It rained the day we were there and very happy there was places to sit on the inside. The crew on the ship and at the facility were kind and helpful. We enjoyed the show and demonstration!

I read that the lunch runs out but it was honestly the BEST BBQ lunch I have ever had! They were well organized, it was delicious and plentiful. The boat ride over was a bit full and as a rainy day, people were scrambling for inside seating (which there was not enough of). On the bar end if a pianist and if you board quickly and head there, you can enjoy that amenity en route. We could not hear the commentary over the speaker and the sights were all fogged in from weather. Arrival at the fame was rain filled and it is a trek to the building and then again to the sheep shearing demo area. Not for the mobility impaired in my opinion. They did a nice job of giving a sheep dog demonstration is lieu of shearing a sheet as the performance stage was too wet to safely hold a sheep. It was well done. Property is beautiful and I recommend it.
