TSS Earnslaw Cruise & Walter Peak BBQ Dining | New Zealand

Super nice experience. All the staff are very friendly. Buffet dinner is very good. The farm show is amazing.

It's suitable for walking around and seeing flowers, because the stay time at each point is not long, you can bring anti-mosquito spray to the farm.

nice scenary,nice bbq lunch and it was nice to hv it beside the lake. we simply enjoy it

Good experience with this historical steamship. The same age as Titanic. Can feel the vintage experience. Scenic view along the Lake Wakatipu. Price is bit over but still fine.

A complimentary upgrade to the TSS Ensemble Steamship is provided, offering stunning scenery along the way. Upon arrival at the farm, clear signage guides you to the restaurant for a buffet lunch. Approximately one hour later, you can watch the farm's sheep show.

- Note that the ticket exchange area is near the lakefront. Try not to go to the realNZ inside, as they'll give you a sour look (and it's probably not their job to do so). - The queue for boarding the boat is next to the restaurant on the lakefront, as shown in the photo. We arrived quite late, so there weren't many seats once we boarded the boat, but that wasn't a problem. We were able to tour the facilities and get an introduction to the history of steamships. - Alcohol, drinks, and some food are available on board, and there's a surcharge for paying with credit cards. - Those who plan to have a BBQ will dine at the restaurant ashore upon arrival. It's a buffet, and the first order is divided into sections. You can choose from chicken, pork, fish, lamb, and even venison. The desserts are also good, with a variety of cheese options. However, the waiters aren't very quick to replenish the dishes, and sometimes even seem to stop replenishing them later. 🤣 The food is put away, which is a bit different from a buffet in Taiwan. - After about 1-1.5 hours of eating, you can go to the nearby ranch to watch the sheep show and then explore the ranch. 20-30 minutes later, you'll board the boat for the return trip. There was a live piano performance on the boat, and I even got a lyrics booklet so I could sing along on the second floor! It was super fun and heartwarming.

Steam boat and comfortable, and can see the scenery, picturesque, to the restaurant place very comfortable and beautiful, barbecue lunch and plenty of food and delicious, after lunch and can see the shaved wool, round trip took four hours, very value, worth recommending.

excellent ! good memories!

It's a shame there's no steamboat in the winter. I hope I can come back in the summer. The boat ride was quite comfortable, although it was cold, but blankets were provided and hot drinks were available for purchase. BBQ was delicious and the food was of a decent standard, though the desserts were a bit too sweet for my taste. The sheep shearing performance was average, but the dogs were quite good at herding sheep.

Beautiful scenery, delicious food, cute sheep and sheepdogs, and detailed explanations from the ranch owner
