Flockhill Lodge
Canterbury, New Zealand
Set in New Zealand’s largest mountain range, this luxury lodge is one several in the country’s scenic Southern Alps – but Flockhill Lodge continually wins guests over. Located in Canterbury’s Craigieburn Valley, the all-inclusive lodge lies within a 15,000-hectare working farm – but it’s not just sheep that flock here. Guests are drawn to the hotel’s chalet-style suites and villas, farm-to-fork cuisine, and unrivalled access to activities ranging from hiking and paddleboarding to heli-skiing. Rural accommodation combines locally crafted furnishings, with materials including concrete, limestone and timber, plus stargazing-friendly patios and decks prime. The four bedroom Homestead, meanwhile, caters well to families and larger groups, with a private chef, pool and wine cellar showcasing the country’s renowned viticulture. When it comes time for some R&R, the hotel has a wellness centre equipped with a cedar or guests can have a go at sheep herding with the help of the resident sheepdogs.
