We enjoyed the Steamer ride across Lake Wakatipu. Enjoyed the tour and talk of the gardens and eco efforts to bring more native trees to the area. Appreciated the attempts to grow a wide range of vegetables and herbs for the kitchen for use in the restaurant. I appreciated the growing of native trees and shrubs to plant on the land to regenerate native flora and fauna and enjoy helping make an effort by planting a tree.

All aboard the TSS Earnslaw Step aboard the beloved TSS Earnslaw, a century-old steamship carrying generations across the shimmering waters of Lake Wakatipu. As you glide toward Walter Peak, take in the iconic alpine vistas—Cecil Peak, the Remarkables, and the deep blues of the lake. Explore the beautifully restored vessel, including the working steam engine room and onboard museum, or relax with a snack from the Promenade Café as the scenery unfolds around you. Garden to Table at Walter Peak Arriving at Walter Peak High Country Farm, you’ll be welcomed into a stunning lakeside setting where nature, produce, and conservation come together. Join your guide for a relaxed walk through the lush kitchen gardens and native planting areas, sampling fresh herbs and seasonal produce as you go. Learn how the farm grows, harvests, and prepares ingredients for its garden-to-table dining. Next, play your part in Walter Peak’s land restoration project by planting a native seedling—a hands-on contribution to the farm’s growing biodiversity. Your experience concludes with a garden-to-table light lunch, featuring homemade, freshly prepared dishes crafted from ingredients grown right on the property. Enjoy your meal in the peaceful lakeside surrounds before boarding the TSS Earnslaw for your journey back to Queenstown.
