About Us
Andrew and Justine run the property. We have 3 children Anna (7), Sarah (5) and Kate (3). 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 winter we have developed the double rooms and shower, also putting in a brand new toilet area by the double rooms. With new double glazed windows, insulation and recladding – it is looking 100% better. Surveys will be carried out this year to better channel our resources to meet your needs.
Finally, wireless internet is coming – November 2011 it should all be up and running.
Next year we aim to upgrade the kitchen and make better use of space for guest food storage etc.

“I would like to extend our thanks to you for the standard of the accommodation experienced at the SLOPE POINT BACKPACKERS. We were in the motel unit which was new, fresh and provided everything we needed. I particularly appreciated the covered deck which was an extension of the unit. We did not need the shelter this time but it would prove invaluable if the weather conditions were not so good. I extend my best wishes for the continued development of your accommodation site and look forward to returning.”

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.“
