Slope Point Accommodation

Top choice in Fiordland & Southland


In the midst of a working farm 4km north of Slope Point, this family-run accommodation plunges you into the rhythms of rural life: calf-feeding time, scampering pets, and kids eager to introduce you to their favourite lamb. Double rooms and self-contained units are cosy and modern, or there's a whole cottage up the road with amazing views of the estuary.
