Highlights

  • Take in Queenstown's scenic beauty on a cruise across the lake
  • Enjoy a gourmet BBQ buffet at Walter Peak High Country Farm
  • Taste locally sourced produce with freshly made gourmet buffet BBQ
  • Dinner and a show: relax after dessert with a skilful farm dog show

Cruise across Lake Whakatipu to Walter Peak High Country Farm. You will board the Spirit of Queenstown, a modern catamaran with a licensed bar where you can purchase a drink or 2 for your journey.

Once at the lakeside Colonel’s Homestead Restaurant savour the delicious aromas as our chef has the best of local produce sizzling away on the grill. The buffet includes salads, vegetables, and succulent local meats cooked on the wood-fired BBQ. There is a wide range of delicious desserts on offer, including a vast array of fresh bread and cheese.

Overlooking Lake Whakatipu and Queenstown's alpine scenery, the Colonel’s Homestead at Walter Peak is the perfect place to spend a few hours. Its colonial architecture and sweeping grounds evoke the elegance of a bygone era. An entertaining farm demonstration the whole family will enjoy is also included. If there is time remaining, explore the beautiful lakeside gardens before re-boarding the vessel for the return trip to Queenstown.

I didn't want to leave

Walter Peak Station is just beautiful. I could have stayed all day. The boat ride on Spirit of Queenstown was smooth and fast. Hold on to your hats if you're up to! At the Station the service was amazing and we had a beautifully positioned table with views back to Queenstown. The BBQ was exceptional. Great range of food. The farm show was entertaining even for a Kiwi.
