What does Lonely Planet say:

“Surrounded by farmland, Slope Point Backpackers has rooms ranging from basic to modern. There’s plenty of grass to park a tent and it’s a good opportunity to watch a farm in operation. Kids very welcome.“

Welcome to the 2010-2011 season
Located on the coastal southern scenic route, Slope Point Backpackers is on the no exit road to the southern most point of the South Island, Catlins, New Zealand.
Our property is situated in the rural heartland of the south east coast with only short distances to southern scenic attractions. We also run a sheep and beef farm on 180 hectares (450 acres).
