An ultra-luxurious villa tucked away in an alpine pass first used by Maori to traverse the imposing Southern Alps.
Flockhill sits on an iconic Canterbury high country station, deep in the Southern Alps, yet only 75 minutes from Christchurch. Established in 1857, the massive 14,000 hectare station is a working sheep and cattle farm, and borders important conservation and recreation areas such as the Craigieburn Forest, Lake Pearson and Porter Heights. Activities include endless hiking, farm tours, excellent fly fishing, horse riding, biking, skiing and caving.
First to be built is the ultra-luxurious Flockhill Homestead. Heavy limestone elements reflect the dramatic rock formations of nearby Castle Hill, while the light wooden roof reflects the historic farm buildings on the property. The fully serviced villa features four ensuite bedrooms, a media room, jacuzzi, pool and a fire pit, all surrounded by stunning alpine scenery. A lodge will be added at a later date.
One of Flockhill's most unique experiences is traversing the nearly 600 metre long Cave Stream as it twists and turns its way to an underground waterfall.
many many many thanks!!!!!!
We have been blown away by everything - hotels, food, people, golf, wine - the list is endless. You did an amazing job
Planning a 7 week trip is daunting enough without the complications of COVID cancellations, rebookings, and closures. Yet every connection, every transportation detail, every accommodation, every meal, everything was flawless.
From our arrival in Sydney .. to our last stop in Queenstown .. we will carry with us the best memories of our trip and all of your efforts. The incredible private boat tours .. the bespoke wine tours with the best guides .. our accommodations .. and the excellent itinerary and pacing, made for a perfect trip.
We can't thank Southern Crossings enough for making this trip all, and more, than we had imagined. You allowed us to see the best of your countries: the people, the beauty, the culture. Five stars, a blue ribbon, and a gold medal to everyone at Southern Crossings!
