Lake Wakatipu Cruise and Gourmet BBQ Dinner

Discover one of Queenstown's most iconic evening experiences with a journey to Walter Peak High Country Farm. Your adventure begins the moment you step aboard the historic TSS Earnslaw, a beautifully restored vintage steamship that has been cruising Lake Whakatipu for over a century. As you glide across the tranquil alpine waters, take in panoramic views of rugged peaks, pristine shorelines, and the lake's unforgettable colours at dusk.

Arriving at Walter Peak High Country Farm, you'll step into a world of historic charm and warm southern hospitality. The beautifully restored Homestead Restaurant sits among sweeping lakeside gardens and sets the scene for an exceptional gourmet BBQ dining experience. Watch the chefs at work as they prepare your meal over the open grill, featuring premium cuts of meat, fresh seasonal vegetables, vibrant salads, indulgent desserts, and a showcase of New Zealand's finest cheeses. Every element celebrates local produce and rich high-country flavours.

After dinner, wander outside for an engaging demonstration of traditional farm life during our live farm show. Learn about the history, meet the friendly farm animals, and gain insight into the skills that have shaped rural life in this remote region. It's an authentic, entertaining glimpse into life on one of the area's earliest stations.

Your evening concludes with a relaxing return cruise aboard the TSS Earnslaw. Settle in with a drink, enjoy live piano music, and take in the peaceful atmosphere as you travel back across the lake under the night sky. With stunning scenery, exceptional cuisine, and warm Kiwi hospitality, this is an experience that captures the very best of Queenstown.
