Experience a relaxing cruise on board New Zealand's iconic TSS Earnslaw and gain an insight into high country life with a tour of Walter Peak High Country Farm.

Highlights

  • Scenic cruise on board the vintage TSS Earnslaw
  • A guided walking tour of the farmyard
  • Demonstrations of the farming lifestyle
  • Afternoon tea, freshly baked at the farm

Your experience begins with a magical cruise across Lake Wakatipu aboard the TSS Earnslaw, a vintage steamship launched in 1912 and rich in local pioneering history.

Soak up the spectacular views with a wine or beer from our bar, visit the mini-museum or check out the action in the engine room as we cruise towards Walter Peak.

Upon disembarking, you will be greeted by our rural host who will take you on a fascinating guided tour of this historic farm.

On this interactive farming experience, you'll be able to see a sheep shearing demonstration and watch farm dogs round up sheep from the paddocks.

Visit the holding pens and feed the farm animals before enjoying freshly baked afternoon tea in a delightfully rustic old wool shed.

A unique and interactive experience that will enable you to immerse yourself into rural New Zealand life.

Amazing experience

The Earnslaw is an impressive steamboat and it’s great to see a fully working steamboat that has been around for 113 years. Walter Peak Farm was awesome you get to feed and pat the animals. So beautiful

Perfect day out for Toddler and Mum

My little boy and I had a wonderful time on this tour. From the Babychino and coffee when we boarded, the cruise itself, exploring the boat, arriving to friendly waves of the Walter Peak team then exploring the farm, meeting and feeding lots of animals. The scones at morning tea were delicious! If you have young kids, highly recommend the 9am departure. The boat was much busier with the lunch arrivals. It’ll be a day spent with my child I’ll never forget. Highly reccomend.

Brilliant!

Well run from start to finish. It was great to be able to see the workings of TSS Earnslaw. The farm tour was informative and delivered in a friendly manner, the afternoon tea was lovely - something for everyone.
