About Walter Peak High Country Farm
Set on the western shore of Lake Whakatipu, Walter Peak has a long history connected to travel, farming and life in the high country. Māori once travelled through this area while gathering food and pounamu, before European farming began during the 1860s.
The property later became one of the region’s best-known high-country stations. Today, visitors can explore its lakeside setting, meet the farm animals and learn how rural traditions continue at Walter Peak.
