Step aboard the iconic TSS Earnslaw and cruise across the sparkling waters of Lake Whakatipu to Walter Peak High Country Farm for a dining experience that blends history, breathtaking scenery, and exceptional local cuisine. Surrounded by Queenstown’s majestic alpine landscapes, this relaxing journey aboard one of New Zealand’s most treasured steamships is as memorable as the destination itself.

After arriving at Walter Peak, make your way to the elegant Colonel’s Homestead Restaurant, where the enticing aromas of a gourmet wood-fired BBQ lunch await. Feast on a generous selection of locally sourced meats, fresh seasonal salads, vegetables, delicious sides, and indulgent desserts while overlooking the lake and surrounding mountains. Following lunch, enjoy a traditional farm dog demonstration or take a stroll through the beautifully maintained lakeside gardens before reboarding the TSS Earnslaw for the scenic return cruise to Queenstown.

Combining a heritage steamship cruise, spectacular alpine views, and a premium gourmet BBQ lunch, this experience offers a wonderful taste of Queenstown’s history, hospitality, and local flavours. A perfect way to celebrate special occasions, it’s an unforgettable way to slow down, savour the scenery, and create lasting memories on and off the water.
