For a dining experience unlike any other in Queenstown, join us on a trip to the Colonel’s Homestead Restaurant at Walter Peak High Country Farm. Cruise in style out to Walter Peak aboard the spectacular 'Lady of the Lake' (TSS Earnslaw, 1912), returning on the vessel back to Queenstown.

Highlights

  • Unique dining experience
  • Gourmet barbecue dinner at the Colonel’s Homestead Restaurant
  • Enjoy lakeside dining at Walter Peak, away from the bustle of Queenstown
  • Explore the TSS Earnslaw, watch the stokers in the engine room and enjoy the views of Lake Whakatipu
  • Licensed bar and cafe onboard the TSS Earnslaw

Your evening begins with a magical cruise across Lake Wakatipu aboard the TSS Earnslaw, a vintage steamship launched in 1912 and rich in local pioneering history. She is the only hand-fired commercial passenger carrying vessel in the Southern Hemisphere.

Arriving at Walter Peak High Country Farm on the opposite side of the lake it is time to disembark for the ambience of the Colonel’s Homestead Restaurant situated in beautiful gardens.

The menu includes an extensive range of local and New Zealand produce, succulent meats cooked on the rotisserie, a delicious range of vegetables and salads. Then finish with your dining experience with tantalising desserts, cheeses and freshly brewed tea and coffee.

After dinner enjoy a stroll around the beautiful gardens.

The entertainment continues on the spectacular night-time cruise home, where you can join in on a sing-a-long with the ship's pianist or just enjoy the fresh air and stunning views on the deck as the sparkling lights of Queenstown draw closer.


*Please note the TSS Earnslaw will be on survey from 4th - 29th June 2024 - a replacement vessel will be used during this period - thank you*

完美

真的是美到不行！ 但在Walter Peak那側停留時間太短了，吃東西跑去看剃羊毛秀，然後還要趕上船，有點想吐，若多個半小時最剛好 但總結是很好的，BBQ很好吃，風景很美，剃羊毛秀很有趣 很喜歡?

有點不如預期

餐點美味，但人太多餐點補的速度跟不上少部分菜品無品嘗到可惜。

From RealNZ - TSS Earnslaw & Walter Peak Gourmet BBQ Dinner

We are sorry that your trip with us wasn't as good as you anticipated. January is peak season out at Walter Peak and at times it can get quite busy - as we are a popular option for dining. We have reserved seating/tables and an ordered approach to the buffet to avoid overcrowding. We apologise that you didn't get to experience every one of the dishes. However we are glad to hear that the meal was delicious. The Real Journeys Team

Amazing & well worth it

We went for the dinner trip & "Wow" The trip out was beautiful & being able to watch the workings of the steamer was great. The food & variety was the best I have ever seen let alone the taste! Huge praise for the chefs at Walter Peak. Perfect evening thank you 💕
