Such a lovely and convenient place to stay on your way to and from the ferry, though it has everything you need for a longer stay. And we're always made to feel so welcome. Thanks again to our super hosts

We just stayed a quick night for early ferry departure to Wellington. There is no in-house cooking but a BBQ stove is available outside. A small studio flat, good for short stay. 5 minutes drive to town centre.

A clean and comfortable apartment in a quiet location a short drive from town. Well equipped kitchen. One very tiny omission was the lack of a bin in the bathroom.

Picton beach property
The owner of the property could not have been more delightful in keeping us well communicated. She provided even more than she had promised. The apartment was delightful, well situated and with beach views just as she had promised. We will look forward to recommending it to our friends in the future. we loved our stay!

We decide to stay here after the ferry ride and I am glad we did. The ferry ride was long and the host of this vrbo was great. The location was also perfect with it only being a few minutes from the ferry port.

Just being a property (holiday home) being below another lived in home-at times you can hear foot movements,furniture movement and voices from upstairs.At all sorts of times and hours. Otherwise a nice retreat.

Wow! We had a wonderful stay at Lyn’s fantastic studio. Lyn was one of the best hosts we have ever had. She went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable after arriving in Picton. She also had great local recommendations and insightful knowledge of the area and surrounding areas. The accomodation had everything that we needed and was extremely comfortable in a peaceful and safe neighbourhood. We definitely recommend staying at Lyn’s accomodation when heading to Picton.
