Exclusive Luxury at Flockhill with Karen WalkerEscape with Breast Cancer Cure to Flockhill, the latest offering in world-class retreats, nestled deep in the heart of 36,000 acres of pristine South Island wilderness. Opened in December 2024 and recently nominated as one of the top 3 “Greatest Luxury Hotels on Earth”, Flockhill is uniquely positioned and offers majestic views of the Southern Alps.
Your adventure begins with the Conversation for a Cure fundraising lunch. Join fashion icon and Breast Cancer Cure Ambassador Karen Walker and TV presenter, radio host and podcaster Petra Bagust for an unforgettable afternoon of delicious food, inspiring conversation and an opportunity to support breast cancer research in New Zealand.
You will be greeted with bubbles and curated canapés upon arrival and live cooking stations run by Sugarloaf's talented chefs. This progressive lunch format allows you to interact with the chefs and engage all of your senses while enjoying their mindfully created cuisine.
Hear from Karen Walker, New Zealand's most internationally recognised fashion designer, best known for her signature optimism, energy, and chic-meets-eccentric handwriting. Engage in meaningful discussions with fellow guests about fashion and philanthropy in an atmosphere of luxury and elegance.
After lunch, experience an on-site activity facilitated by the Flockhill team. Retreat to a cleverly located speakeasy in a carefully restored miner’s cottage, where you can enjoy music from a curated vinyl collection or learn about Sugarloaf’s garden-to-plate ethos, exploring the gardens and extensive planting efforts that reduce the property’s carbon footprint.
