Tss Earnslaw Walter Peak Farm Tour

Walter Peak High Country Farm:

Farming in the New Zealand high country is a way of life – and it’s one you can get up close to at Walter Peak, overlooking spectacular Lake Wakatipu.

Situated on the picturesque lake's southwestern shores, Walter Peak High Country farm is an idyllic place to spend a relaxing few hours, an experience to be cherished. The farm tour itself is an interactive experience, with something to keep everyone entertained.

A local rural host will show you off the impressive TSS Earnslaw, and take you to the amphitheater, where you will watch the remarkable skill with which Kiwi sheepdogs are world-famous - rounding up sheep from nearby paddocks.

You will have time for a walking tour of the farmyard, visiting the stock pens, where you can help feed Merino sheep and Red deer - up close to Scottish Highland cattle, huge beasts.

Or simply stroll to the charming old woolshed for morning or afternoon tea, and view the delightful lakeside gardens before you re-board the TSS Earnslaw for your cruise back to iconic Queenstown.

Includes:

Return cruise on board the TSS Earnslaw Vintage Steamship to/from Walter Peak High Country farm

Guided walking tour of the farmyard to view and feed sheep, deer, cattle and alpacas

Enjoy afternoon tea including scones, cakes and slices freshly baked at the farm

There’s time to relax in the lakeside gardens, in the sunny courtyards, or visit the Walter Peak General Store for a memorable take-home souvenir.
