Flockhill Lodge Step onto 36,000 acres of sprawling landscapes and discover luxury accommodation on a working kiwi sheep station.

REFINED WILDERNESS

Since 1857 Flock Hill Station has been a working sheep station of 36,000 acres in the Craigieburn Valley, New Zealand. Flockhill Lodge is nestled within the station's sprawling landscape, overseen by The Homestead, a witness to life in the Southern Alps. We would like to share with those who have an adventurous spirit, a refined taste and take delight in all things luxurious - the Flockhill experience. Flockhill is located on the Great Alpine Highway, 1.5 hours from Christchurch International Airport. The Homestead provides an alpine escape of relaxed luxury with refined service contradictory to the rugged beauty of the surroundings. Activities exclusively within Flockhill’s wilderness are an adventure to be had - nothing manufactured. With a vibrant team of like-minded people, Flockhill Lodge brings a unique guest experience, with a shared passion for authenticity and quality in all things. At Flockhill our aim is to tell stories and have our guests leaving with stories to tell.

Meet Bandit, the newest (and possibly cutest) addition to the Flockhill family🐮

Bandit is an orphaned calf who needs a little extra help while he grows big and strong, so for the next few months he’ll be calling the Flock Inn home before he’s ready to rejoin the rest of our cattle out on the station.

If you’re staying with us, you might spot him in the paddock behind the Activity Barn. & if you time it right, the team can even set you up with a milk bottle at feeding time. A small glimpse into life on a working high-country station, and a chance to help us give this sweet little guy the best start we can.

Bandit already has company, too. Jill, our little lamb from last spring, has returned to the Flock Inn after becoming rather attached to our Activities Manager, Brooke. And with lambing season underway, there’s a good chance a few more little personalities will be joining them over the coming weeks.

Caring for animals that need a little extra help is one of the realities of farm life, and we think Bandit has landed in a pretty good spot🖤

& thanks for all the votes on his name! He approves.

You put us here👏 Flockhill has been ranked No. 13 in Australia & the South Pacific in the 2026 Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards, making us the highest-ranked New Zealand resort on this year’s list.

What makes this particularly meaningful is who it came from: travellers themselves. To everyone who has travelled to experience our little piece of the Southern Alps, remembered it, and taken the time to vote for us - thank you🩵

We hope we’ll see you back here soon.

The Homestead has always been one of those spaces where time seems to soften. Conversations linger by the fire and books are picked up instead of phones.

This is the space for those unexpectedly memorable moments🌄
