Flockhill • New Zealand

Flockhill is a remarkable lodge and villas spanning 36,000 acres. The Homestead, a four-bedroom accommodation, can host up to eight guests. In December 2024, Flockhill introduced seven villas and the Sugarloaf restaurant, led by chef Taylor Cullen, offering refined dining. The focus is on food grown on-site, collaborating with the land to create simple dishes that emphasize seasonal, mostly in-house produce.

New Zealand chef Taylor Cullen will present hyper-seasonal, open-fire cooking inspired by Flockhill's renowned restaurant Sugarloaf. Flockhill, a luxury alpine lodge on New Zealand's South Island, is set to introduce its esteemed dining philosophy to Singapore in June (events are June 16, 17) through a unique culinary partnership with Burnt Ends and Tourism New Zealand.

Under the leadership of celebrated Kiwi chef Taylor Cullen, the event will highlight New Zealand cuisine using hyper-seasonal ingredients and open-fire cooking, emphasizing a strong connection to land, provenance, and seasonality. Chef Taylor will craft a menu influenced by the principles of Flockhill's internationally acclaimed restaurant Sugarloaf, where self-sufficiency, fermentation, preservation, and mindful sourcing define the dining experience.

The collaboration was inspired after Burnt Ends chef-owner Dave Pynt visited Flockhill and experienced Sugarloaf firsthand, captivated by its ingredient-focused philosophy and immersive dining approach grounded in place and nature. Fundamentally, the collaboration unites two restaurants with a mutual appreciation for craft, provenance, and fire-based cooking.

The 2-bedroom Villas (totaling fourteen king bedrooms) are a stunning complement to the award-winning Homestead. Amenities include all meals at the Sugarloaf restaurant, featuring premium international and New Zealand wine options, signature experiences like the Flockhill Farm Tour, and optional activities such as horse riding, rafting, hiking, fishing, caving, and e-biking.
