Embark on a scenic cruise by vintage, coal-powered steamship to Walter Peak High Country Farm, where you’ll enjoy home-baked treats with coffee or tea plus a walking tour of the lakeside farm. 

Departing Queenstown aboard the TSS Earnslaw, take in the views over sparkling Lake Wakatipu. Sing to favorite old tunes as you’re entertained by the onboard pianist, check out the ship’s original steam engines in operation since 1912, or visit the mini-museum for historical displays about the old steamer.

On arrival at the Walter Peak High Country Farm, enjoy morning or afternoon tea. Soak up the alpine surroundings as you meander through the lakeside gardens before a farmyard walking tour. 

Your hosts introduce you to the sheep and other livestock including highland cattle, deer, and goats, and explain mustering practices during a sheepdog demonstration and admire the art of sheep shearing. Afterward, you’ll return across the lake to Queenstown aboard the TSS Earnslaw.

This South Island tourism operator was recognized at the 2007 New Zealand Tourism Industry Awards, winning the Conservation in Action Award and the Qualmark Mark of Quality Award.

Loved taking our two grandchildren over to Walter Peak Station. It is such a child friendly event. The feeding of the animals was so special for our two grandchildren. I have also been there with my mother who also enjoyed it very much. The flower garden is fabulous, my granddaughter practiced her photography taking photos from her new camera of the flowers.

Worthwhile breathtaking and engaging tour for a great value! On board the TSS Vintage Steamship to cruise Lake Wakatipu towards Walter Peak High Country Farm. We had a slice of New Zealand farming seeing sheep herding and shearing demo as well as got up close with farm animals (Merino and perendel sheeps, Alpaca, Scottish highland cattles, cows, goats, deer and ponies roaming in the 24,000 hectare land in Queensland, New Zealand. After the farm tour, they treated us to coffee, tea, scones and delicious treats!
