Exceptional
190 reviews from Google

Experience a relaxing journey across Lake Whakatipu from Queenstown on a vessel of your choice and step into the charm of Walter Peak High Country Farm. Choose between the iconic TSS Earnslaw Steamship or the modern Spirit of Queenstown vessel whilst enjoying sweeping views of Queenstown framed by deep-blue waters and dramatic peaks before beginning your chosen farm adventure.

Join a Farm Tour to see a working high country station in action, or indulge in a gourmet BBQ meal at the Homestead Restaurant featuring seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. Stroll through the lakeside gardens on a guided Garden to Table Experience to learn about both indigenous and introduced plants or saddle up for a Horse Trek around the peninsula and enjoy uninterrupted vistas of the surrounding mountains.
