Highlights

  • Scenic cruise on board the vintage TSS Earnslaw
  • A guided walking tour of the farmyard
  • Demonstrations of the farming lifestyle
  • Afternoon tea, freshly baked at the farm

Your experience begins with a magical cruise across Lake Wakatipu aboard the TSS Earnslaw, a vintage steamship launched in 1912 and rich in local pioneering history.

Soak up the spectacular views with a wine or beer from our bar, visit the mini-museum or check out the action in the engine room as we cruise towards Walter Peak.

Upon disembarking, you will be greeted by our rural host who will take you on a fascinating guided tour of this historic farm.

On this interactive farming experience, you'll be able to see a sheep shearing demonstration and watch farm dogs round up sheep from the paddocks.

Visit the holding pens and feed the farm animals before enjoying freshly baked afternoon tea in a delightfully rustic old wool shed.

A unique and interactive experience that will enable you to immerse yourself into rural New Zealand life.

湖光山色

应该是唯一一个还在服役的蒸汽船,船体内部构造都可以看到,沿途湖光山色很漂亮,湖水的颜色在山的映衬之下格外的蓝,到农场后可以观看剪羊毛表演和讲解,还可以体验喂小动物的过程,比较轻松的一个旅游体验。

没有看到剪羊毛表演,失望

到了农场之后,才说天气不好,所以不表演剪羊毛。可是因为有剪羊毛我才买的票啊,真是失望。诚然天气原因不可控,可是订票时都有说明,如果天气原因取消可全额退款。人是去了,表演没有,也没补偿,这不坑人嘛。 除此之外都还可以,两岸风景很美,喂羊也有趣。
