1 . Walter Peak High Country Farm,on the western shores of Lake Wakatipu,is famous in history. Its sheltered bays were used as camping sites by Maori travelling to the Mararoa and Oreti Rivers on Moa hunting and pounamu (greenstone) gathering expeditions.
Things to do
Situated on picturesque Lake Wakatipu's wester shores,the farm is the perfect place to spend a few relaxing hours. The Farm Tour itself is a wonderful,interactive experience for the whole family, with something to keep everyone entertained and happy. Our rural host will meet you after you leave the steamboat and take you for a walking tour of the farmyard. The first stop is the holding pens (畜栏),where you can help feed the sheep and deer,and even get up close to the Scottish highland cattle. Then walk slowly through the lakeside gardens to the charming Colonel’s Homestead for morning or afternoon tea. Afterwards the farmer will lead you over to the shearing shed (剪羊毛棚)where you can watch the farm dogs rounding up sheep on the hills, and see the farmer cut the wool off a sheep. You will then board the steamboat for your cruise back to Queenstown.
