Livable, lovingly maintained family home
The home is moments away from town center in Picton. Right out the door are great hiking and mountain biking trails. The home is very livable, updated. Several outdoor living spaces are very inviting. The home is historic, well maintained and the art on the walls was unique and spectacular. Of all the places we stayed this was my personal favorite. We had a small hiccup with thinking that there was a hot tub, but it had just not been removed from the listing. In its place as a very nice outdoor kitchen.

Absolutely fantastic place in Picton
We only spent evenings and nights due to our trip being work-related, however, the place is fantastic to rest after 12 a conference and we all absolutely enjoyed it. The owners are very approachable and really easy to communicate with. Most importantly (work related) - the internet is very reliable and quick.

Family catch up
Gaylene your home was very clean, warm, inviting and well equipped. My granddaughters enjoyed the outdoor spa pool. Having several tv' s, allowed the adults to watch the rugby, while the children watched other programs. The outdoor/ barbeque space was enjoyed by all the family including the two that visited from the cruise ship that was in Picton for the day. The house is in a quiet area at the end of a street, with only a short drive to the centre of Picton. There is several walking tracks nearby to enjoy. Many thanks for the wonderful stay.

Tranquil stylish haven
We were very appreciative of Gaylene’s generosity as we needed to change our plans. Then spending a few days in this lovely home we got to appreciate it’s many features and creature comforts. Artfully decorated, comfortable beds, fully functioning kitchen with all utensils, good shower, warmth from wood burner distributes throughout bedrooms, many quiet spots to sit outside in the garden, on the veranda. Tranquil location next to Picton-Waikawa walkway. Highly recommend.
