Flockhill Lodge
Cradled in the foothills of New Zealand’s Southern Alps, this breathtaking retreat delivers panoramic views of Sugarloaf Mountain, rolling paddocks and the glassy expanse of Lake Pearson – all in a single, awe-inspiring sweep. Boutique sophistication takes centre stage across luxurious villas and suites, boasting organic textures, floor-to-ceiling windows and direct access to Arthur’s Pass National Park.
After a day of hiking, skiing or immersive farm experiences – from horse riding to sheep mustering – unwind at the lodge’s intimate restaurant, Sugarloaf. Native ingredients and fine New Zealand wines shine on a seasonal tasting menu, celebrating the rich bounty of this historic high-country sheep station.
Perfectly situated in the serene Canterbury region of New Zealand, Flockhill Lodge is just a stone’s throw from the breathtaking Arthur’s Pass National Park. The lodge is approximately a 90-minute drive from Christchurch and Christchurch International Airport (CHC). Nearby attractions include Cave Stream Scenic Reserve and Castle Hill. Return helicopter transfers are included in select packages only, see Fine Print for details.
