Conference Dinner

Step back in time when you climb aboard Queenstown’s renowned111-year-old vintage vessel. The TSS Earnslaw is the oldest commercial passenger-carrying steamship in the Southern Hemisphere and still leisurely ferries passengers from Queenstown, across Lake Whakatipu, to Walter Peak High Country Farm. Settled by Europeans in the 1860s, Walter Peak is now a preserved rural destination, restored and open for guests to explore its beautiful shores. Admire the view of Queenstown across the bright blue lake, under mountains, and nested in forests before heading out on one of the High Country Farm’s many adventures. Cruise across Lake Whakatipu and experience gourmet dining in a setting like no other. Relax in the historic Colonel’s Homestead, where colonial architecture, manicured gardens, and breathtaking alpine views set the scene for an unforgettable dining experience. Walter Peak’s seasonal BBQ menu, crafted by executive chef Will Eaglesfield, showcases a selection of fresh salads, vegetables, succulent meats, and seafood, with vegetarian dishes on request, and indulgent desserts to finish. After your meal, enjoy a sheepshearing and farm dog demonstration and wander through the beautiful lakeside gardens before cruising back to Queenstown.
