Fantastic hidden gem!
We were a family of six looking to book a cottage on the waterfront and WOW this location did not disappoint! My father and mother in law are pretty picky when it comes to accommodations and they really loved the property and are this is in.
The property itself has all the amenities you would need in a house (washer/dryer, very spacious kitchen, etc.) contained in a beautiful cottage. There is even a king sized bed in the main bedroom which was much appreciated by my two kids with extended snuggle times in the evenings. The outdoor backyard 2nd floor deck with its lounging areas are amazing to relax in as the sun goes down. The backyard has a firepit and outdoor eating area while being large enough for two energetic kids to run around. The dock was amazing for fishing; my father-in law was able to catch a 20 pound carp right off the dock on our last day. We were also able to swim and jump in right off the dock, the water being more than deep enough to swim in which was just amazing for the kids.
The area itself is on a secluded peninsula which were great for walks in the evening; the views in the area are absolutely gorgeous. Picton itself was only 20 mins away on a very scenic drive while taking the back roads there were also several amazing wineries towards Waupoos. Furthermore, Sandbanks is only 40 mins away; we were really grateful for the Sandbanks pass that was included for us to use. Basically a pleasure to drive and explore the local community!
Our hosts Kai and Jennifer were very easy to get a hold of before, during and after our stay. They made our check in and check out very easy and pleasant!
We would love to stay at this property again. Basically if you have the opportunity to stay in this gem, it surely is not to be missed!
