We loved watching the animals, but thought we were going to be able to see more sheep and lambs, they demonstration was cute but not the shaving one, it should advertise which one they have each time. The afternoon tea and snacks were really good, better than expected.

I really love this experience! The view along the lake, animals in the farm, singer on the boat and the staff at the farm, everything seems perfect! A little bit worried about this trip before boarding, cause people said it might be boring, but for me it turns out to be one of my favorite places in New Zealand, maybe getting close to the nature and animals really means a lot to me. I absolutely recommend this tour to everyone.

a bit disappointed as the voucher says there is sheering of sheep but none was performed due to the flooding in queenstown, however we think there should be a way to make an effort even with just one sheep for the show at the end. Sheering was one of the big reasons why we opted the farm tour.
