Walter Peak High Country Farm - RealNZ

Walter Plateau Ranch, there are a lot of things to see, mainly two: one is the cute sheep. The sheep shearing show in the performance square, a hairy sheep, with the help of the beautiful shepherd's knife and the sheep dog, has been bare and cute for a while. Shepherd dogs in the grazing area drive sheep. Several sheep dogs drove a group of lambs into the enclosure, so that tourists could feel the little bits of sheep up close. The second is the beautiful villa. On the east side of the ranch pier is the villa area, the most eye-catching "Colonel's House" built in 1902. Under the mountains, on the clear water, the white walls reflect the red roof, the greenery is lined with flowers, the lake waves are shooting the beach, the scenery is beautiful to the extreme.

Steamboat ＋ Walter Plateau Ranch half-day tour, is a classic trip to Queenstown. Walter Peak, located on the opposite side of the lake southwest of Queenstown. The Walter Plateau Ranch is on the west side of the mountain. The ranch is one of the oldest plateau pastures in New Zealand. It covers an area of hectares during its heyday. After several changes, the current area is hectares, and more than 40,000 Merino sheep, Romney sheep and small meat cattle are kept. Since 1991, the owner of the ranch leased 162 hectares of land on the lake to the travel agency, and opened up a "grass tour" tourism project. Therefore, many tourists will feel "the plateau is not high, the pasture is not big" when visiting. The pasture tour has a lot of points and is beautiful. First, the view of "grassage". The "shearing show" is lively and interesting. A hairy sheep, assisted by the shepherd's knife and collie, has been bare and cute for a while. "Shepherds drive sheep" is vivid and intuitive, and a few collie dogs ＋ a group of lambs, let tourists feel the little bits of sheep. "Animal feeding", you can contact alpacas, lambs, calfs at close range, pat ~ too late. The second is to view the "view". When you go to the pasture, take a 45-minute voyage by steamboat, or take a 30-minute voyage by speedboat, along the lake and mountain scenery, I can't wait to say. Upon arrival, the east side of the ranch pier is the tourist area and the west side is the villa area, the most eye-catching "Colonel's House" built in 1902. Because of the tight time, I gave up close contact with small animals and went to the villa area to explore the red roof with white walls, greenery lined with flowers, and the scenery was beautiful to the extreme. In the courtyard, in front of the porch, on the green, in the flowers, by the bench, by the lake beach, stroll around and enjoy the pat, and you can't stop. The third is to taste "food". During the ranch tour, you can choose to enjoy afternoon tea or BBQ buffet. Tea and meals, the variety is not rich, but the taste is authentic and delicious, plus the environment is elegant, the atmosphere is harmonious, it is also a good experience.

The scenery is really beautiful, and I saw the cute sheep, very interesting

Before the steamships were overhauled, I happily bought my tickets on the afternoon after the snow. Walter Peak was my favorite mountain in Queenstown and was incredibly beautiful at sunset. Always looking out, this time finally kissed Fangze at the right time. The voyage was very enjoyable, the first snow outside the window in 2016 made the mountains all night white, but the cabin was warm like spring. An old lady played a soft piano, and the high school students who had traveled from Christchurch to Queenstown sat around and hummed generously with the melody. As nothing was prepared for the trip, the American sister paper I talked to on the boat for helping each other take pictures was a surprise. When we arrived at the farm, we were taken by the Scottish Highland cattle who were going to put their hands in their mouths to feed, so that the grass and mud horses on the side were snubbed. We found an outdoor location and chatted comfortably with afternoon tea. At that time, the lazy daylight gently spilled down, the lake in front of Wakatip showed a transparent milk blue, red roses full of the ground, the breeze, the flowers were fragrant, very pleasant. Afterwards, the farm staff took to see the shearing show, the first time I saw how the legendary collie drove the sheep, and the first time I found that the original sheep was so small, and I was scared to be turned over. The shaved sheep was a small circle in an instant, and after being turned over again, they ran away in shame. When the night came back to Queenstown, a bright moon rose slowly in the excellent mountain range, and recalled an afternoon trip, but I felt that it was a little unreal and seemed to escape from the world.

The arrangement in Queenstown is particularly leisurely. This pasture is temporarily booked on Taobao, because I don't want to travel too fast, delaying me to enjoy its cloud curling. Steamboat + pasture is a classic route for a half-day tour. You can choose to eat free afternoon tea, or choose to eat paid BBQ. Because we have had a rich brunch in the morning, and we are not very interested in barbecue, we chose pure play and refreshment projects. Taobao booking is more than 300 people, the whole journey is 3.5 hours. I chose the itinerary that departed at 12 o'clock, which was actually not bad. If you want to go to the ranch to eat BBQ, it is recommended to eat breakfast later, or bring some dry food, because it is nearly a little before you can have lunch. The ranch is really small, there are very few small animals, there are a few sheep, a few alpacas, a few plateau cattle. Compared with those large ranches, I really think it is very pitiful here. At most, it is a local farmhouse. It is too exaggerated to say that the ranch is too exaggerated. Local staff led to feed a few small animals. They were not afraid of life. As long as they had food, as long as they were hungry, they must rush over to grab food. Very safe, go to the feeding boldly, put your expression and take pictures. Feed the small animals, go to the cabin to eat snacks. There are about four or five varieties, walnut brownies, blueberry muffins, carrot cakes, orange cakes. Also with some jam and cream. The taste is OK, better than expected. The muffins are well done, crisp and soft, freshly baked, and taste just right. Muffins with jam and cream are a bit more delicious than the products of some star hotels. I took a look and the most popular was the muffins and sauce, which was suddenly empty. Drinks, I didn't pay attention, some have coffee and tea, there are juices, the variety is relatively simple. Then I went to the cabin next to the store to watch the sheep shearing show, the sheep was very obedient and cooperative, and an innocent look of people to fiddle with. Then leave a little time for your own activities, you can see the surrounding gardens, sunbathe and the like, it is said that their BBQ taste is OK, friends who like to eat meat suggest that you can consider it. Queenstown in October is just spring, a variety of flowers are competing to open, especially lush, especially brilliant, simply a beautiful garden.

The scenery is so beautiful, the air is fresh, and there are cute goats there
