Lovely B&B in a great location

We found this to be a perfect place for both relaxing in beautiful surroundings and visiting the coast / town / vineyards. Our hosts were friendly and available but not intrusive. The room was comfortable and well equipped and the DIY breakfast was great.

Had a great stay thanks!

Pros: Welcoming hosts; clean, comfortable, and warm room, and a great facilities.
Cons: Nothing.
Location: More to do in the sunshine, with great walks and boat trips though the sounds. In the rain, cafes and the small art gallery were the order of the day.
The attention to detail in our room was noticed and appreciated. Beautifully set out table for breakfast, and great use of space. We were warmly welcomed by gracious hosts, Lyall & Helena, and they have done a great job of restoring this grand old house, and turning it into a warm and welcome accommodation choice in Picton. If only they could have sorted out the rainy weather...
