This was one of the highlights of our trip to Queenstown. The barbeque buffet was amazing with foods to satisfy all tastes. The farm show was the right length of time. Its a gorgeous place with the historic house and gardens. Highly recommended
The gourmet bbq at Walter Peake was recommended by other travelers. It was well worth the trip and the food was delicious! Only negative was that we couldn't hear the commentary over the engine.
Had an amazing experience…. Staff were friendly and bbq lunch buffet was delicious. Worth it. Must visit!
Walter Peak gourmet BBQ, a not to be missed experience for the BBQ lovers. Try the beers and bbq with the beautiful scenery of lake whakatipu
