A 36,000-acre working sheep station in Canterbury's Craigieburn Valley, Flockhill offers private villas and a beautiful main lodge set against the raw drama of New Zealand's South Island. The mountains are extraordinary; the hiking is world-class; the sense of space is genuinely limitless. The team know the land intimately and share that knowledge well. A properly restorative high-country escape.

7:42 AM
Catch the early light with coffee in hand. Order the Flockhill bagel — cured salmon, pine capers and warm bread with a touch of honey.
10:00 AM
Walk through towering limestone formations rising from the valley floor, a striking high-country landscape shaped over millennia.
1:00 PM
Have a delicious spread while you’re out: grilled lamb, crusty bread and cold local white wine in and amidst the land around you.
4:28 PM
Head back to settle by the fire with a considered drink, a bar snack and an unhurried game of chess as evening draws in.
8:00 PM
Dinner at the lodge – slow-cooked duck, gently smoked over the fire, with a glass of Central Otago pinot noir. Slip away when the fire starts to sizzle.
10:41 PM
Before bed, clock the sky full of stars. It’s pretty perfect when there is no light or air pollution about.

Flockhill operates as a 36,000-acre sheep station, where shepherds sustainably manage over 11,000 sheep year-round.
The station protects rare high-altitude flora and threatened native species found only within this distinctive alpine environment.
Most ingredients come from Flockhill’s gardens and surrounding land, with chefs harvesting and foraging alongside gardeners.
