Discover a truly unique New Zealand farming experience with a visit to Walter Peak High Country Farm. This relaxing and interactive family-friendly tour is the perfect way to immerse yourself in the charm of rural life.
Discover a truly unforgettable farming experience at Walter Peak High Country Farm, where breathtaking scenery meets authentic rural charm. Your adventure begins with a scenic cruise across the crystal-clear waters of Lake Wakatipu, aboard the iconic vintage TSS Earnslaw.
On arrival, you’ll be greeted by your friendly rural host and welcomed into a world of traditional New Zealand farming. Wander through the charming lakeside farmyard and meet a delightful array of animals, including woolly sheep, curious alpacas, highland cattle, deer, and the ever?popular working farm dogs. Learn how these animals are raised and cared for in the high country, and watch engaging live demonstrations that bring classic Kiwi farming practices to life—from sheep handling to the impressive skill of the farm dogs at work.
Your visit continues with a peaceful stroll through the farm’s beautiful gardens or a moment to simply relax on the lakeside terraces and soak in the tranquillity of this remote setting. Then, indulge in a freshly baked afternoon tea served in the historic Colonel’s Homestead. With warm scones, sweet treats, and plenty of tea and coffee, it’s the perfect way to unwind after your farm adventure.
This 3.5?hour, family?friendly experience runs daily and offers something for every traveller—hands?on interactions for the curious, breathtaking backdrops for the photographers, and a calming escape for anyone craving a slower pace. Whether you’re connecting with nature, learning about rural life, or enjoying quality time with loved ones, a visit to Walter Peak High Country Farm is a truly memorable way to experience the heart and heritage of rural New Zealand.

That's 10% of the Australian population! When we started 'doing' experiences in 2001, Facebook didn't exist; the iPod had just been invented; John Howard was Prime Minister; and Destiny's Child were popular (yikes!). We've been at this business of experiences for quite a while, so put your trust in us to show you a good time.
We want you to have the most enriching experience possible, so if this means swapping your jet boat experience for wine tasting then we've got you covered. Simply exchange online or contact our Customer Experience Team and we'll do the work for you.
We understand life gets busy, which is why all vouchers and gift cards purchased have a 5-year expiry. The only exception to our expiry terms is if the experience has already been booked in.

If you book your experience after this time and the price of the experience increases you can either pay the difference or exchange it for another experience free of charge.
We know the trust consumers place in ratings and reviews is tied directly to authenticity. That's why we use Bazaarvoice. We believe that reviews should represent the genuine, unbiased, and transparent opinion about the author's experience with a product or service. Reviews are not altered in any way by anyone other than the original author — including corrections for spelling or grammar. Reviews are not filtered, edited, or deleted simply because they are negative or are lower-rated.
