From Westport more or less 30 min. drive and if you call David or Susanna when leaving W-port they´ll be ready to pick up your luggage at the carpark.
After 10 min. walk (also very easy with an infant and after a rainy day) on a trail trough the bush starts the night at the old slaughterhouse the right way.
Both David and Susanna are very lovely hosts and fills you in all you need to know within minutes. The open kitchen and living room offers plenty of space and a fire place which is needed in the evening and also in the morning. The lodge has an outstanding view over the shore and you hear the shore brake when going to bed and when waken up. Spectacular just for both of it and worth to stop over although Hector and W-port as not much to offer.
We loved to stay with the 2 and would like come again when back in NZ.
Nina, Harry and lil´Anton.
