Nurturing people’s powerful connections to the area’s unique landscape and the people they cross paths with is at the heart of the team’s vision for Cross Hill Lodge and Domes.

Established by Richard and Sarah Burdon to complement their farming and accommodation operations, Cross Hill is a unique rural accommodation destination set in the foothills of Glen Dene Station.

Sarah and Richard’s paths crossed many times before they finally connected as husband and wife and now, along with their two children Georgie and Charlie, together they continue to call Glen Dene and Lake Hawea home.

The name Cross Hill also has many meanings. Symbolizing the crossing of Sarah and Richard’s paths crossing many years ago, it also nods to the crossing of paths that will inevitably happen with guests from around New Zealand and the world enjoying the Cross Hill experience. The logo for Cross Hill also resembles the crossing over between two mountains to represent the unique mountainous terrain where Cross Hill is nestled.
