World-class, luxury accommodation in harmony with Mother Nature

Flockhill is one of New Zealand’s most prestigious luxury lodges. Built on a working sheep station of 36,000 acres, hidden in Craigieburn Valley, it is sanctuary of refined elegance set amidst the wild, rugged beauty of New Zealand’s Southern Alps. 

For the duration of the Nourish & Bloom experience, we will have exclusive use of the estate - creating stillness, privacy, and a sacred space for something life-changing to unfold.

The luxury villas are meticulously designed to provide ambience, warmth, and a sense of tranquillity that invites you to fully exhale. Every detail has been considered - from pure wool throws and curated natural textures to sweeping alpine views and cosy, glowing fireplaces. The two suites within each villa connect to a sumptuous shared lounge, where you can rest and connect in spaces within the rhythm of the day.

You’ll be nourished by Flockhill’s acclaimed chef, with meals prepared in the award-winning Sugarloaf restaurant - a culinary experience that blends world-class dining with deep seasonal intention.

You’ll also be among the very first to enjoy Flockhill’s new, state-of-the-art spa facilities, including a panoramic 10-person hot spa, cold plunge and alpine sauna. A daily offering to honor integration and renewal - nourishing your mind, body and spirit in a space designed to replenish.

The experience is one of quiet splendour: grounded in nature and deeply attuned to restoration.

This level of devotion and care is part of what allows you to soften. You deserve to be deeply nourished in every sense; and this extraordinary venue is a celebration of that receiving.

Sacred land

Flockhill is more than just breathtaking beauty - the land it rests upon is deeply alive. Its energy is potent, and we chose it with intention.

The surrounding limestone rock formations - ancient, sculptural outcrops that rise from the land like sentinels - along with the forested valleys and sweeping alpine plains, create an atmosphere that is deeply transformative and quietly powerful. The energy here doesn’t just hold you - it supports and amplifies everything this retreat is here to awaken and hold.

Just nearby lies Castle Hill (Kura Tāwhiti), known by many as the Stonehenge of the South - a globally recognised energy site the Dalai Lama once named a “spiritual centre of the universe.”

Flockhill sits within that same field - a convergence point where ancient stone, sacred geometry, and untamed wilderness come together. A place of remembering - where something long-held in the body begins to reawaken.

The land is sacred, pristine, and ready.

And so are you.

World-class nourishment

Every meal served at Nourish & Bloom is prepared with reverence by Flockhill’s award-winning head chef, Taylor Cullen of the acclaimed Sugarloaf restaurant. Each dish has been carefully curated in collaboration between the chef and Chelsea Winter, and selected with purpose - not only for its flavour, but for how it will support your body, your energy, and your unfolding throughout the retreat.

Rooted in the rhythms of the land, the food at Sugarloaf - which received its first hat in 2025 - is unlike anything else. Much of the produce is grown on the property in gardens lovingly tended by hand. Over 30 varieties of fruit, heirloom vegetables, edible flowers, and wild herbs are cultivated onsite, with chefs and gardeners working side-by-side to bring the land’s abundance to life.
