All round exceeded our expectations from the coffee and cakes on the steamer to the whole Walter Peak experience starting with the staff standing on the wall to wave in welcome as we pulled into the jetty. Have to admit to being sceptical about other reviews of the buffet bbq but they were asolutely right -the meat (the farm's own-was being cooked as we arrived and was fresh and tender, the variety of salad and vegetable dishes was fresh and delicious and didn't stint on relatively expensive ingredients such as asparagus, fennel & pomegranate. The desserts were to die for. After the lunc, the very charming & engaging personality of the shepherd who led us to the sheep shearing arena and the lovely relationship he had with his dog made it the most entertaining shearing experience I've ever seen. Not only that, the hollyhocks were stunning. Definitely a trip worth doing!

We traveled with 2 kids aged 7 & 2. Great views of the lake and the town. Lovely farm and good quality food. I loved the staff and service there was excellent. Farm show and program was well planned and organised greatly. Definitely a good memory from the trip!

The boat ride was enjoyable and being able to watch an operating steam engine was a real plus. The flower gardens at the farm were beautiful, the buffet dinner was really good, and the show with the sheep dogs was both informative and entertaining.
