The Old Slaughterhouse has a fantastic location overlooking the western coast and Tasman Sea. It is a view that you could spend all day watching. The shared living spaces are full of interesting quirks. There is locally-produced electricity so don't expect to charge up too many digital accessories. The beds are comfortable, the showers are hot, the kitchen has gas appliances - don't forget to bring your dinner and breakfast in with you as the nearest supermarket is Westport. There are lots of interesting walks nearby, and the local birds put on a good evening show!
