The best place we've stayed in NZ! Feels like you're out in the bush, but you're only 25 mins from Westport with all its amenities. Stunning views, you can spend all day out on the large deck watching the sea and looking out for dolphins. The shared living space is spacious, very comfortable and full of interesting things to look at, and the kitchen has everything you need for cooking. The bathrooms are clean and the hot water showers were amazing after a few days of camping! Our bed was very comfy, we slept really well. Susanna and David are the loveliest hosts. We originally booked for 2 nights but added a 3rd night on because we didn't want to leave. A true gem, we'll be telling everyone about this place!

What a lovely place. The house itself is very unique. The rooms are confortable and full of interesting books, photos and art all around. The house is in the middle of the bushes an hipnotsing view from the Tasman sea. Our hosts David and Susana made us fell very welcomed. Hopefully we are visiting this paradise again.

Far out, best views, fab hosts, and the most solid construction. Highly recommended.

We really enjoyed our 3 night stay in this secluded lodge. Although it’s a 10 minute hike up to the accommodation (Dave & Susanne will help take up your luggage for you), it was a lovely view and a great feeling to be a bit disconnected from the world. Our room was clean & comfortable...keep in mind there are no outlets or WiFi in the bedrooms but you can charge up and access WiFi in the shared area (kitchen & living room very large and comfy). The hosts Dave and Susanne were also super kind and great to talk to. Would definitely come back!

Awesome place ! Really worth the detour on my way South. Thanks to Susanna for her kindness. Would definitely come back if I had the chance. The sound of the Tasman sea and the view up there are stunning. Don’t let that tiny hike scare you 😉

On our way from Franz Joseph Glacier to Abel Tasman, we decided to make a detour to the old slaughterhouse after seeing pictures of the place on the internet. We are so glad we went there, common area and bedroom were stunning, built in wood (by the owner!), with an amaizing view to the Tasman sea. The hosts were very nice and helpful, and they have such an interesting life story! The 10min climbing walk to arrive didn't bother us and David was there to take the luggages with the quad if needed. We stayed one night but we would have loved to stay more. One of the most beautiful and special places we saw, we definitely recommend it!

I'm reluctant to leave a positive review because I selfishly want this place to remain a little secret. I stayed here several years ago for what was only supposed to be one night but ended up turning into several; it was definitely a highlight of our road trip. It's basically a quiet cabin overlooking the ocean. It was very clean, and the couple who were running the place could not have been friendlier or more accommodating. You have to hike up a small hill and the building is powered by a water wheel. There are few better ways to begin a South Island adventure. I still hope to return some day.

A lovely location right above the ocean with an incredible view. Suzanna helped us get settled quickly and was very informative and friendly. We unfortunately arrived late and had to leave early, but would have loved to have stayed longer.

What a great place.. David and Susanna were the perfect hosts while we were there.. What a place!!! Sunset from the balcony was magical.. Will definitely be going back again..

A unique experience, I highly recommend. be ready to get there, it's a 10 min hike. nice rooms and showers and if you have a tent it's also a cheap and fun option.

Very relaxing and tranquil place with amazing sunset. Nice big living room where all guests could gather and exchange life and travel stories.

(Translated) I was there in November 2018 and it's my best accommodation in New Zealand. The owners were lovely and the views from the window were breathtaking. The house was neat and comfortable. I recommend !!! (Original) Byłam tam w listopadzie 2018 roku i to mój najlepszy nocleg w Nowej Zelandii. Właściciele byli cudowni, a widoki z okna zapierały dech w piersiach. Dom był schludny i wygodny. Polecam!!!

(Translated) Super guided, a touch of nostalgia, David a Kiwi veteran with humor, the place just something special, dreamlike location during the day as well as in the night (starry sky) the many repeats speak for themselves !!!! (Original) Super geführt, ein Hauch von Nostalgie, David ein Kiwi Urgestein mit Humor,der Ort einfach etwas besonderes, Traumhafte Lage am Tage wie auch in der Nacht(Sternenhimmel)die vielen Wiederholst sprechen für sich!!!!

(Translated) Superb Lodge. A bit of a walk to get there, but it's worth it. Luggage transport by quads (Original) Superbe Lodge. Un peu de marche pour y arriver, mais ça vaut le coup. Transport des bagages par des quads

(Translated) My family will go to New Zealand again and the first reason to go again is the slaughterhouse. It's a treasure for my family. (Original) 우리 가족은 뉴질랜드를 다시 갈 것이고 다시 가는 첫 번째 이유는 도축장 때문임. 우리 가족한테는 보물같은 곳임.
