Queenstown Lake Cruise to Walter Peak Farm with BBQ Buffet

Cruise across Lake Whakatipu from Queenstown to Walter Peak High Country Farm aboard the Spirit of Queenstown, a modern catamaran with a licensed bar where drinks are available to purchase during the journey.

On arrival at Walter Peak, head to the Colonel’s Homestead Restaurant for a gourmet BBQ buffet built around local produce. The chef cooks meats on the wood fired BBQ, with salads and vegetables served alongside. Desserts are also included, along with fresh bread and cheese. The setting looks out over Lake Whakatipu and Queenstown’s alpine scenery, giving you time to settle in and enjoy the surroundings as you dine.

The Colonel’s Homestead adds a sense of place with its colonial architecture and broad grounds. After lunch, there is an entertaining farm demonstration designed to suit all ages, offering a lively look at life on the farm.

If time allows, you can wander through the lakeside gardens before boarding for the return cruise to Queenstown. This tour combines a scenic lake crossing, a substantial meal at Walter Peak High Country Farm, and time to enjoy one of the best known heritage-style settings on the lake, all with return travel included.
