About Us
Andrew and Justine run the property. We have 3 children Anna (6), Sarah (4) and Kate (2). It is a working 450 acre sheep and beef farm. In addition, Andrew works off the farm part time as a fencing contractor. As you can probably imagine, life gets a bit hectic around here – but we love it. We are very lucky to have 3 healthy girls, a farm and are pleased to share our bit of paradise with you.
We aim to improve the backpackers every year and provide a better service and improve facilities. We are really excited about the transformation so far and realise that we have a little way to go. This year we have developed the camper van area and the new tent site area as well as improving the exterior lighting around the buildings. In addition, we plan to upgrade the older original toilet this year. Surveys will be carried out this year to better channel our resources to meet your needs.
Next year we aim to upgrade the kitchen and make better use of space for guest food storage etc.
The following project is to put a new outside on the double rooms, which will include more insulation.

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.“
