EXPERIENCE

The Southern Night Sky

Winter at Flockhill provides extended viewing hours and extraordinary access to the southern night sky.

Each day, the sun sets behind the mountains and we are blessed to watch the sky darken and the stars brighten. Our luxury South Island lodge is the perfect spot to unbridle your imagination as you discover our neighbourhood in the universe and become connected to the Southern Hemisphere.



Step outside and look up. Positioned far from city lights, you’ll find yourself beneath the Milky Way, where stars and constellations spill across the southern sky in remarkable clarity.


Offered complimentary for guests, book this self-guided experience and find a telescope placed in your room following dinner, along with a small collection of Southern Sky books and our recommended stargazing app to help you navigate constellations and planets with confidence.


Homestead reservations include a telescope already and do not require a booking.

In partnership with a professional astrophotographer, we offer a curated collection of immersive evening experiences designed to help guests connect with the cosmos in meaningful and memorable ways.

From relaxed, guided stargazing and telescope viewing to hands-on introductions to astrophotography, each experience is tailored to your level of interest. If you would like to learn more about our Night Sky offerings, please view our complete Winter Activity Guide.
