Cruise across Lake Wakatipu on the iconic vintage steamship TSS Earnslaw to Walter Peak Station Farm. Enjoy a delicious gourmet BBQ lunch after the farm demonstration.
Set off on one of Queenstown’s most memorable daytime experiences with a scenic cruise across Lake Whakatipu aboard the iconic TSS Earnslaw. This beautifully restored vintage steamship has been carrying visitors for over a century, offering a relaxed and picturesque way to take in the lake’s crystal?clear waters and surrounding alpine peaks. Watch the stokers fuel the engines, explore the historic features on board, or simply enjoy the open-air views from the deck.
Your journey leads you to Walter Peak High Country Farm, a historic lakeside station known for its warm kiwi hospitality. The Homestead Restaurant, set within beautifully restored buildings and surrounded by sweeping gardens, provides the perfect setting for a long, leisurely BBQ lunch. Our chefs prepare your meal right in front of you on the open grill, showcasing premium cuts of meat, fresh seasonal vegetables, vibrant salads, indulgent desserts, and a selection of New Zealand’s finest cheeses. With plenty of time to dine, relax, and explore the grounds, this is a lunch experience designed to be savoured.
After your meal, wander outside for an engaging demonstration of traditional farm life. Learn about Walter Peak’s heritage, watch the working dogs in action, and meet the friendly animals that live on the station. It’s an authentic and entertaining glimpse into rural New Zealand and one of the region’s earliest high-country farms.
Your afternoon concludes with a peaceful return cruise aboard the TSS Earnslaw. Sit back and take in the expansive mountain and lake views as you journey back to Queenstown. Blending history, exceptional food, and beautiful scenery, the Walter Peak Gourmet BBQ Lunch is an experience that captures the very best of the region.
In the event of rain or inclement weather your experience will still go ahead unless contacted by the experience provider. If your experience is cancelled you will be rescheduled by the provider.
