Take a scenic cruise across Lake Whakatipu to Walter Peak High Country Farm, one of Queenstown’s most picturesque destinations. Upon arrival, our friendly rural team will welcome you and guide you through the lush gardens, sharing insights about the locally grown produce and native plants. You'll also have the opportunity to plant a native tree, contributing to the area’s ongoing conservation efforts, before relaxing with a high-country tea selection featuring homegrown and locally sourced treats.

Situated on picturesque Lake Whakatipu’s southwestern shores, Walter Peak High Country Farm is an idyllic place to spend a few peaceful hours. The Walter Peak Garden to Table Experience allows you to immerse yourself in nature, learn more about New Zealand conservation, and contribute to biodiversity, only a short cruise from Queenstown.

After your 45-minute journey across Lake Whakatipu, you’ll be welcomed by our rural host on the shore, who’ll give you a tour of the diverse Restaurant Garden and showcase Walter Peak’s native plants. At this point, you’ll have your own part to play in Walter Peak’s Land Restoration Project by planting a native tree or shrub on the stunning peninsula.

Finish off the experience with a walk to the rustic Walter Peak buildings for a delicious light lunch made up of homegrown and local produce. Stroll through the lakeside gardens before you cruise back across Lake Whakatipu onboard the iconic TSS Earnslaw.
