Breast Cancer Cure is back with an extraordinary experience at the luxury Flockhill Lodge, raising funds for breast cancer research.

Tucked deep in the Southern Alps, beneath starlit skies and craggy peaks, lies one of New Zealand’s most breathtaking luxury escapes: Flockhill. Aat the end of May, it becomes the backdrop for a truly unforgettable event.

Conversation for a Cure isn’t just another charity event — it’s an immersive experience that blends fashion, storytelling, fine food, and purpose. Hosted by Petra Bagust, with renowned fashion designer Karen Walker as the special guest, this exclusive overnight experience invites a small group of guests to connect, indulge, and contribute to vital breast cancer research.

Guests begin their journey with champagne on arrival and a progressive lunch at Flockhill’s stunning Sugarloaf restaurant. With Karen Walker at the table, this is no ordinary lunch — it’s a moment of inspiration and connection, set against panoramic mountain views.

After an afternoon of conversation and exploration, the experience deepens with a fireside cocktail hour and an intimate three-course dinner paired with curated wines — again with Karen and Petra as your hosts. Stories are shared, ideas exchanged, and support for a breast cancer cure becomes more than a donation, it becomes a collective mission.

As the evening winds down, guests retreat to their private luxury villas — spacious, architectural sanctuaries nestled within the high-country landscape. Each suite offers total seclusion, warmth, and panoramic views to wake up to.

The following morning, guests are treated to a guided lakeside experience at Lake Pearson, rounding out a overnight experience designed to nourish the soul, spark connection, and accelerate the fight for a cure.
