EXPERIENCE

The Southern Night Sky

Winter at Flockhill provides extended viewing hours of the gorgeous night sky from anywhere at Flockhill.

Each day, the sun sets behind the mountains and we are blessed to watch the sky darken and the stars brighten. We can view the Milky Way, its neighbouring galaxies, and the Southern Cross with its associated constellations. 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. Flockhill guests can enjoy stargazing in luxurious comfort with a fire pit, hot beverages, and open bar at Sugarloaf, or relax in your accommodation, enjoying the stars from your private deck. Reserve our telescope in advance to find it waiting in your room and discover star clusters, moons, and distant galaxies using our recommended night sky app.
