Travel + Leisure Editorial Guidelines
"Flockhill is a modern villa located in the alpine foothills of the Craigieburn Valley, offering a chic stay with views over 36,000 acres of working sheep station. Guests can participate in activities such as shepherding and shearing sheep while touring the property."
"Opening in late 2024, Flockhill Lodge will feature 14 new villas and an on-site restaurant led by Kiwi chef Taylor Cullen."
"Flockhill Lodge, a 36,000-acre high-country sheep station that opened in the Southern Alps in late 2022, adapts to its dramatic valley location with weather-battered stonework and a pitched timber roof—a subtle nod to farm sheds found in the region—and invites visitors to experience what lodge manager Andrew Cullen calls a “refined wilderness.”"
"Set on a 36,000-acre high-country sheep station beneath the Southern Alps, this four-bedroom homestead combines minimalist, landscape-inspired design—limestone floors, native-wood tables, sheepskins—with a food program focused on local ingredients (from Périgord black truffles foraged in Canterbury to fresh-caught hapuku from Rakiura). Its real draw is access to remote adventures: guides can take guests snowboarding at Broken River and Craigieburn or fly-fishing in Winding Stream, making it a gateway to secluded New Zealand terrain." - Jennifer Flowers
