Walter Peak Plateau Farm, a more accurate translation is: Walter Plateau Ranch. Steamboat + Walter Plateau Ranch half-day tour is a classic itinerary for Queenstown travel. Walter Peak is located on the other side of the lake southwest of Queenstown. Walter Plateau Ranch is on the west side of the peak. The ranch is one of the oldest plateau ranches in New Zealand. In its heyday, it covered an area of ​​68,000 hectares. After several changes, it now covers an area of ​​25,000 hectares and grazes more than 40,000 Merino sheep, Romney sheep and calves. Since 1991, the owner of the ranch has rented 162 hectares of land by the lake to travel agencies and opened up the "ranch tour" tourism project. Therefore, many tourists will feel that "the plateau is not high and the ranch is not big" when visiting. There are many attractions in the ranch tour, which is beautiful. The first is to watch "herding". The "wool shearing show" is lively and interesting. The fluffy sheep, with the help of the shepherd and the sheepdog, have become bald and cute in a short time. "Sheepdogs herding sheep" is vivid and intuitive. A few sheepdogs + a group of lambs allow tourists to experience every bit of shepherding. "Animal feeding" allows you to get close to alpacas, lambs, and calves, and take photos~no time. The second is to see the "scenery". When going to the ranch, take a 45-minute steamship or a 30-minute speedboat. The beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains along the way is self-evident. After arriving at the ranch, the east side of the ranch dock is the tourist area, and the west side is the villa area. The "Colonel's House" built in 1902 is the most eye-catching. Because of the tight time, I gave up the close contact with the small animals and went to the villa area to find out~ The white walls reflected the red roofs, the green grass was set off by flowers, and the scenery was extremely beautiful. In the courtyard, in front of the porch, on the green grass, in the flowers, by the bench, by the lake beach, stroll around, enjoy and take photos, you can't stop, it's so pleasant. The third is to taste "food". During the ranch tour, you can choose to have afternoon tea or BBQ buffet. The variety of tea and meals is not rich, but the taste is authentic and palatable. Coupled with the elegant environment and harmonious atmosphere, it is also a great experience.

Come to the farm to watch the wool-cutting activities, feed the cows and sheep, and what's more interesting is that the alpacas chase you for food

Don't be scared by the name, the altitude is the same as that of Queenstown. If the shape of Lake Wakatipu is likened to a sitting person, Queenstown is at the knees and it is at the hips. It can be reached by steamboat, just after getting off the dock. The farm is backed by mountains and faces the lake. Several European-style buildings are dotted among them, and it has an incomparable and wonderful view of lakes and mountains. Here you can participate in sheep feeding activities, watch sheepdogs herding sheep performances, and taste English afternoon tea or barbecue dinners. There are many activities to play for most of the day.

The signature tourist attraction of Queenstown is a classic steamship ride. The cows, sheep and alpacas on the farm are very cute. The set menu includes afternoon tea and buffet options, as well as lamb herding and wool shearing performances. It's a nice way to experience life there.
