Witness the beauty of Lake Whakatipu on board a vintage steamship (TSS Earnslaw, 1912) or on our stylish modern catamaran (Spirit of Queenstown) before indulging in a delicious gourmet BBQ lunch at Walter Peak High Country Farm
Your afternoon begins with a magical cruise across Lake Wakatipu aboard the vessel of your choice: either the TSS Earnslaw, a vintage steamship launched in 1912 with a rich in local pioneering history, or our modern catamaran with an outside viewing
deck with 360 degree views.
Once you arrive at Walter Peak High Country Farm on the opposite side of the lake, it is time to disembark and head towards the tranquil Colonel’s Homestead Restaurant situated in beautiful gardens.
The menu includes an extensive range of local and New Zealand produce, including succulent meats cooked on the rotisserie, freshly caught and locally sourced fish dishes, paired with a delicious range of vegetables and salads. Then finish with your dining experience with tantalising desserts, cheeses and freshly brewed tea and coffee.
Following lunch, guests have the opportunity to gain insight into high country life with an entertaining and informative farm demonstration, or explore the beautiful lakeside gardens.
A quintessential Kiwi experience combined with the elegance of a bygone era.
蒸汽船很有趣,但是午餐普普。 The steam ship is cool, but BBQ lunch is so so.
Enjoyed journey on the wonderful steamboat. Amazing food for lunch - one of the best menu's ever. Booked the trip through Bookme.com - not a good experience. The distinction between the steamboat travel and moterised vessel is not clear. An upgrade on their website is a must.
Walter Peak bbq cruise is a must
iconic views ,happy cruise, satisfying food
