What you can expect

  • Step aboard the iconic TSS Earnslaw and cruise across the crystal-clear waters of Lake Wakatipu to Walter Peak High Country Farm: one of Queenstown’s most picturesque and peaceful lakeside destinations.

    On arrival, you’ll be warmly welcomed by our rural team and guided through the flourishing kitchen gardens and orchards that supply your afternoon feast. This is garden to table dining at its absolute freshest. Wander through vibrant veggie beds, taste ripened fruit straight from the trees, and sample produce picked just moments before it reaches your plate.

    As you explore, you’ll gain insight into the sustainable practices behind the scenes: from regenerative gardening to native planting initiatives that help restore the peninsula. Take a gentle stroll through the reforested landscape, learn about New Zealand’s unique wildlife, and, if you wish, plant a native seedling as part of our ongoing conservation efforts.

    Then, settle in to enjoy generous shared platters crafted from ingredients harvested during your visit and locally sourced produce with an apline backdrop. Expect vibrant colours, bold flavours and wholesome, high country fare that truly tells a storey of place. Indulge and enjoy with a glass of wine, beer or from our selection of teas and coffee we have on offer for an additional price.
