For a dining experience unlike any other in Queenstown, join us on a trip to the Colonel’s Homestead Restaurant at Walter Peak High Country Farm aboard the spectacular 'Lady of the Lake' (TSS Earnslaw, 1912)...

Highlights

  • Unique dining experience
  • Gourmet barbecue dinner at the Colonel’s Homestead Restaurant
  • Enjoy lakeside dining at Walter Peak, away from the bustle of Queenstown
  • Explore the TSS Earnslaw, watch the stokers in the engine room and enjoy the views of Lake Whakatipu
  • Licensed bar and cafe onboard the TSS Earnslaw

Your evening begins with a magical cruise across Lake Wakatipu aboard the TSS Earnslaw, a vintage steamship launched in 1912 and rich in local pioneering history. She is the only hand-fired commercial passenger carrying vessel in the Southern Hemisphere.

Arriving at Walter Peak High Country Farm on the opposite side of the lake it is time to disembark for the ambience of the Colonel’s Homestead Restaurant situated in beautiful gardens.

The menu includes an extensive range of local and New Zealand produce, succulent meats cooked on the rotisserie, a delicious range of vegetables and salads. Then finish with your dining experience with tantalising desserts, cheeses and freshly brewed tea and coffee.

After dinner enjoy a stroll around the beautiful gardens.

The entertainment continues on the spectacular night-time cruise home, where you can join in on a sing-a-long with the ship's pianist or just enjoy the fresh air and stunning views on the deck as the sparkling lights of Queenstown draw closer.


*Please note the TSS Earnslaw will be on survey from 4th - 29th June 2024 - a replacement vessel will be used during this period - thank you*

비오는날이었지만 재미있었습니다

하필 비 엄청 오는 날이었는데 증기선 뿜뿜하며 출발해서 가면서 볼 수 있는 경치는 없었습니다 ㅋ 도착해서 밥먹는데 생각보다 좋은 뷔페였고 특히 돼지고기가 맛나더군요 디저트인 아이스크림 같은것도 맛나구요 ㅋ 술은 따로 주문해야 하는데 글라스 와인정도 시키면 좋을 듯 밥 다 먹고 무기력하고 귀여운 양 보고 앙치기 개의 양치는 시범보고 돌아옵니다 돌아오는 길에 배에서 아저씨가 피아노 쳐주시고 영어로 된 찬송가 부르면서 오는데 다들 대충 술한잔씩하며 아무렇게나 부릅니다 ㅋㅋ 젊은 뽀리너들이랑 노래부르다보면 어느새 도착

Amazing & well worth it

We went for the dinner trip & "Wow" The trip out was beautiful & being able to watch the workings of the steamer was great. The food & variety was the best I have ever seen let alone the taste! Huge praise for the chefs at Walter Peak. Perfect evening thank you 💕
