Walter Peak gourmet BBQ, a not to be missed experience for the BBQ lovers. Try the beers and bbq with the beautiful scenery of lake whakatipu
We had an incredible day on this trip. The scenery on the boat ride was gorgeous. They gourmet bbq was delicious, the setting was beyond amazing, the staff were incredible, we loved the rose gardens. We felt like everything was perfect! We didn't realize we got a farm show, but we enjoyed that as well! We ended the day with a walk along the shore and paddling our feet in the cool water while waited for our boat to return. Would highly recommend this trip.
Smooth trip on catamaran, and great meal!
Walter Peak Station is just beautiful. I could have stayed all day. The boat ride on Spirit of Queenstown was smooth and fast. Hold on to your hats if you're up to! At the Station the service was amazing and we had a beautifully positioned table with views back to Queenstown. The BBQ was exceptional. Great range of food. The farm show was entertaining even for a Kiwi.
