Description
Cruise to Walter Peak High Country Farm across Queenstown's Lake Whakatipu on either the historic TSS Earnslaw or the modern Spirit of Queenstown. Take in breathtaking views over the secluded tranquil waters of the lake whilst enjoying a drink or snack from the bar onboard. 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 High Country Farm 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 show the whole family will enjoy is also included. Watch the farm dogs in action with a sheep-herding demonstration and say hello to the other farm animals. If there is time remaining, explore the beautiful lakeside gardens before re-boarding the vessel for the return trip to Queenstown.
