YOUR ARRIVAL

Flockhill Lodge is located just a 90-minute scenic drive from Christchurch Airport, making it easily accessible while still feeling worlds away. For a truly unforgettable arrival, guests can opt for a private helicopter transfer from Christchurch, offering a breathtaking journey. Soar above the dramatic landscapes of the Canterbury region and the Southern Alps, and arrive in style at this luxurious alpine retreat nestled in New Zealand’s stunning high country.

Lean into sheep station life

The owners of Flockhill were adamant it had to retain a working farm atmosphere with the ‘Station’ (large stock holding in farming parlance) being at the centre of life on the property. Guests are able to meet with the Shepherds (yes farm workers are still given that title here), and take a trip around the farm. Dining at FLOCKHILL honors the true intent behind the gate-to-plate dining movement.
