It may feel cheesy and very touristy, but honestly this was a highlight. The old steamship has remarkable nostalgic atmosphere, and you get the see the inner workings, including the coal being added to the engines. The views are stunning. We went on a rainy day and the farm pops out of the mist like a dream. The food was excellent, the atmosphere fantastic, warm and welcoming, and the farm show was charming. It's a lovely way to spend a few quiet hours after adventuring or traveling in.
Absolutely amazing experience at Walter Peak Farm!

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Queenstown! The journey over to Walter Peak was beautiful on the steam engine. Drinks, music and plenty of seating aboard. When we arrived we were greeted by staff from Walter Peak waving to us from shore. The seating was organized, staff friendly and the buffet was impressive. Food was amazing and setting even better. The farm show was really great after dinner. We had an absolutely amazing time at Walter Peak!!
A great way to spend an evening!

I had just arrived in Queenstown and was looking for a nice dinner. I got that, plus a wonderful cruise at sunset and an entertaining demonstration on life at a sheep's farm in Australia. I was pleasantly surprised about the whole experience!

Gorgeous scenery on the historic steamship cruise to Walter Peak Farm. Dinner was delicious with several multi-cultural options. The sheep shearing talk and demonstration was delightful and fun, with the dog and his master truly impressing, entertaining and educating the crowd. The return trip was highlighted by a lively piano player and singalong.
