Beautiful House with Cozy Setting

The house was very beautiful with nice and cozy internal setting. It was like a dream house we wanted to live in. We arrived at it quite late at night and left very early in the morning for the ferry to Wellington. So we regretted we didn't spend enough time to enjoy the stay. We ope we could come and stay there for longer time in the future.

A piece of paradise

This is your “home away from home”. Very inviting and relaxing home and garden backyard. Close to many trails and town. It was nice to settle into the backyard after a days hike around the area.

Huge private house in quiet neighborhood of Picton, walkway to Picton centre

We were living in Galene‘s private home, beautifully decorated and fully stocked. Everything was super clean and larger than expected. 4 bedrooms, great separate outdoor space with huge table and extra outdoor kitchen. Extra room with washer and dryer we happily used. Would book „Picton Paradise“again!

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.
