This was our first stay in a hostel & I was a little worried about sharing space for the living area & the bath. Silly me! I should not have. David & Susanna are such warm hosts & they have such a beautiful place that it was like staying with old friends. I loved meeting them & all the other guests, with their diverse & interesting backgrounds.
The beds are super comfortable, the view makes the climb up the hill worth every step & the location was the beautiful, quiet relaxing spot I had hoped it would be. There are lots of nearby tramping spots, both long & short hikes. We also walked on the beach- all alone & peaceful for miles.
I highly recommend a stay at the Old Slaughterhouse Lodge. We stayed 2 nights & I wish we could have stayed longer.
