Ride the vintage TSS Earnslaw to Walter Peak for a gourmet BBQ lunch, sheep herding show, and Lake Wakatipu views.
“The boat is busy but comfortable- make sure you head downstairs and take a look in the engine room! The barbecue was fantastic; definitely worth knowing that you can go up as many times as you like rather than loading your plate sky high. The farm show was actually the highlight for me; good banter, great demonstrations and just the right amount of time.”
