Real Journeys

Our iconic century-old vintage steamship, the TSS Earnslaw, is a unique venue for any special event. Whether you are planning an informal breakfast or a sophisticated cocktail evening, a cruise on the TSS Earnslaw is a special way to experience Queenstown’s beautiful alpine scenery. The TSS Earnslaw is the only coal-fired passenger carrying vessel operating in the Southern Hemisphere. It is a fabulous standalone option, or can be combined with the stunning Colonel’s Homestead Restaurant at Walter Peak High Country Farm. On the western shores of Lake Wakatipu, the historic homestead has the charm and style of a bygone era. Offering a variety of private rooms and exclusive hire options, guests can dine by candlelight in the ballroom, bask in the sun on the terrace overlooking the lake, or relax in front of the roaring fire in the library. Walter Peak High Country Farm is easily accessed from Queenstown via the TSS Earnslaw, charter vessels, helicopter or a fixed-wing scenic flight. The TSS Earnslaw and Walter Peak High Country Farm is part of Wayfare, New Zealand’s leading family of experience brands.
