Indulge in one of Queenstown’s most iconic experiences with the Walter Peak Dinner Cruise. This unforgettable evening combines gourmet New Zealand cuisine, stunning alpine scenery, and the nostalgic charm of a century-old steamship. If you’re seeking the perfect way to spend a summer evening in Queenstown, this is it.
Your Walter Peak Dinner Cruise adventure begins aboard the historic TSS Earnslaw. Cruise across the tranquil waters of Lake Whakatipu, taking in panoramic views of the Remarkables and surrounding mountain ranges. This beautifully restored steamship offers a unique window into Queenstown’s heritage.
Upon arriving at Walter Peak High Country Farm, guests are welcomed to the Colonel’s Homestead Restaurant. The restaurant’s lakeside setting and colonial-style homestead offer a tranquil, elegant atmosphere for your evening. Here, the gourmet BBQ buffet awaits — a feast of locally sourced meats, fresh salads, seasonal vegetables, and irresistible desserts, all expertly prepared by the executive chef. Vegetarian options are also available, making the Walter Peak Dinner Cruise a crowd-pleaser for all.
After dinner, guests can stroll the immaculate gardens or enjoy a live farm demonstration. Learn about New Zealand’s farming traditions and meet the resident sheep, deer, and working dogs. It’s an interactive, family-friendly addition to your Walter Peak Dinner Cruise.
