Reconnect with Nature

Surrounded by native bush and stunning views over the Tasman Sea, the Old Slaughterhouse is the perfect spot to unwind.

Sit back and relax - or not!

You don’t have to do anything, simply sit back and watch breathtaking sunsets over the beautiful Tasman Sea from our verandas. Or you could spend time exploring the magnificence of this region.

Explore the surroundings

Situated halfway between Punakaiki and Karamea, the lodge is the ideal spot for daytrips: unspoilt deserted beaches, beautiful rivers and fascinating walks await you!

Off the beaten track, truly a magical place to stay.

Unique location 100m above the Tasman Sea and only accessible via a 10 minute bush track from the car park at the bottom of the hill. Luggage transport by arrangement. – More information.

Off the grid

We built the lodge from mostly recycled timber and use a micro hydro system to generate power. Our water comes from a spring on the property.

Great location

We are situated almost halfway between Punakaiki and Karamea, which makes it an ideal place to plan your day trips.
