Felt like home in picturesque Picton
In the beautiful Waikawa walks and hikes abound. Easy commute into town for tours. The house itself a wonderful respite after our adventures. you’ll be asking for the recipe of those waikawa cookies home-baked by your host

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Mark and Sue are wonderful hosts. Very toddler friendly, our wee fella loved exploring the spacious grounds. Comfy beds and very comfortable sofa, which were both welcome at the end of busy days out and about. We will be back !

Our stay in Picton
We had a great holiday here, the owners are very helpful and lovely. We had everything that we needed, and it was very quiet and peaceful. It was so nice that they provided the sheets and towels, after a long trip nice to not have to make beds up. Thank you ;)

Tidy Basement unit
Tidy Basement unit of owners house, well organised & comfortable. Lovely touch leaving home made cookies on the kitchen bench, thanks. Good for hot weather as mostly south side windows tucked into hillside, so nice cool on hot days. I may have missed the info in listing stating that it was part of owners home? For me, sadly It would not suit to rent again - even though a lovely unit- it’s not ideal as I was always concerned about keeping my sons quiet so not to disturb the owners upstairs. But for others without energetic kids lol - it’s a great spot near both Waikawa beach & Picton. Thanks for the stay.

Lovelly Getaway Place
Lovely unit to stay in up a back driveway, away from the street and tucked away underneath the owners house. Very pleasant tidy unit with a sky decoder and an outdoor table and chair setting as well as 2 bedrooms. The hosts were very friendly, communicated well, and were very accommodating. They made us feel very much at home and took care of everything for us. They even left us a jar of home-made ANZAC biscuits. Would certainly stay again.

What makes this property unique

Quiet, private, safe and picturesque property
Feel free to use all the grounds. We have two beehives but if you keep a couple of metres away from them the bees will give no trouble. It is advisable to wear shoes on the grass as there are always a few bees there. They are fascinating to watch when they are busy.
