Well worth it. Well organised, food was amazing. Rug up as the farm show is in the open and it’s freezing - we had been well prepared. We did the Sunset cruise - scenery was spectacular on the way. Don’t eat beforehand!
Very good experience

The 100 year old steamer was good fun. The farm BBQ was in a colonial estate and was a dinner buffet with very nice food. The farm show was entertaining with a sheep sheering and sheep dog demonstration.
Enjoyable tour

It may feel cheesy and very touristy, but honestly this was a highlight. The old steamship has remarkable nostalgic atmosphere, and you get the see the inner workings, including the coal being added to the engines. The views are stunning. We went on a rainy day and the farm pops out of the mist like a dream. The food was excellent, the atmosphere fantastic, warm and welcoming, and the farm show was charming. It's a lovely way to spend a few quiet hours after adventuring or traveling in.
