Question 1

How do I get to Walter Peak High Country Farm from Queenstown?

Accepted Answer

Take the historic TSS Earnslaw steamship from the Queenstown Gardens wharf. The 45-minute cruise across Lake Wakatipu is included in your farm tour ticket. No cars are permitted on the farm, so the boat is the only public access. Book return trips in advance during peak summer and ski seasons to secure your spot.

Question 2

When is the best time to visit Walter Peak for lambing season?

Accepted Answer

Visit between late August and October to witness the lambing season. During this period, you can see thousands of newborn lambs in the paddocks and participate in bottle-feeding sessions. Note that weather can be unpredictable in early spring, so dress in warm, layered clothing and waterproof jackets for the outdoor portions.

Question 3

Can I explore Walter Peak High Country Farm without a guided tour?

Accepted Answer

No, independent exploration is not permitted. Access to the farm is strictly controlled via booked tours to ensure animal welfare and operational safety. You must purchase a package that includes the steamship transfer and a guided experience. Walk-up tickets are rarely available, so pre-booking online is essential.
