It was a great visit for those with small and big kids. Access for buggies and really friendly staff. The scones for morning tea were very yummy.

BEST Gourmet BBQ buffet we've ever experienced! Fresh, tasty, well prepared and beautifully presented. It amazes me that when people hear buffet they think it acceptable to pile their plate high with a kilo of meat, even though it may mean someone else misses out. My son-in-law was a bit slow heading up to the buffet as he was settling his two young daughters… sadly, a lot of the choicest meats had run out. The chef was cooking though and he was able to go back when the second round was ready. This meal truly is 'gourmet'. Desserts were beautiful! Coffee/tea also available and included. Its lovely for the kids to be able to go and watch the farm demonstration after lunch, and then see the animals up close. Hubby and I chose to spend that extra hour sitting on the deck overlooking one of the most beautiful views in the world with a lovely glass of wine! Don't miss this beautiful experience… we go back each time we visit Queenstown.

Quite simply a MUST DO. It's a fabulous ship with a great crew pedalling a stunning lake with breathtaking views. What more could you want to experience the majesty of the mountains and lake than a short voyage back in time? I first went on the Earnslaw back in 98 and loved it then...it has lost none of its magic and charm in the intervening years and I was so thrilled it was still operational. Long may it continue! You won't be disappointed...
