Flock Hill Station is a working 36,000 acre sheep farm in the Craigieburn Valley in New Zealand’s South Island. Located close to Arthur’s Pass, the property is surrounded by dramatic mountains, winding rivers and glistening lakes that support high country life in all its forms.
Visitors are treated to a spectacular landscape alive with the forms and hues unique to this remote location. See the whispering brown tussock contrast against the meandering blue rivers. Watch the glowing sun set behind the striking silhouette of the mountains.
