Beautiful, spacious and very comfortable & clean room and dining area. Hosts met us immediately on arrival and instantly made us feel welcome and at home. (Guest accommodation is on ground floor, down a flight of stairs). Plentiful, wide-ranging teas and coffees in kitchen and dining area. All free for helping ourselves to. Location is handy for centre of Picton and ferry (to Wellington). Great breakfast, cereal, fresh fruit, boiled egg, toast & croissants available. Massive choice of spreads (toppings) for toast too. Good library. Lovely toiletries in bathroom.

Nothing, really. No complaints whatsoever.

Lovely mid-range accommodation in Picton. Perfect large room with ensuite for my sister and I to stay in after completing the Queen Charlotte Track. Bed was incredibly comfy, room was well appointed, bathroom was clean (separate toilet and shower was handy!). The breakfast served in the morning was delicious, and the hosts were incredibly accommodating - came out to meet us on arrival to help with bags and show us around. A few minute walk into town, but far enough away to not get the constant thrum of the ferries. Couldnt recommend staying here more highly, and will be back when we are next coming through Picton.

We had booked two rooms but in effect it is a large self contained private ground floor apartment with it's own access, so great for a family. Beautiful help-yourself continental breakfast buffet with fresh fruit. Owner very friendly, chatty and helpful, allowing us to store our luggage and park there whilst walking the queen charlotte track. Handy enough for town. It didn't bother us that it is at the top end of the uphill.

Hosts were lovely , we needed an earlier breakfast as we were joining a hiking group and Janet and Ian were only too happy to make sure the breakfast was all laid out in time for us to make our pick up . Ian also recommended places to eat which were superb. They came and chatted with us but also gave us our space - we had the whole downstairs with a little kitchen and lounge all to ourselves- fantastic stay - no hesitation in recommending this B n B

Not a thing !

Great place to stay. It ticked all the boxes for what we really like. Clean and friendly, easy walking distance to town, king bed, a comfortable place for 2 people to sit relax/read (not on the bed!!) good shower, small fridge, somewhere for us to make our own coffee, and outside seating area. The breakfast was also delicious (continental only).

Nothing, we really like this place!

Janet picked us up at the boat dock terminal, and then proceeded to give us a short drive around the community to show us what it look like since we didn’t have a car. It was above, and beyond what we expected. The bed was comfy. Breakfast brought down in the morning was nice. There’s a backyard patio which you can use. Unfortunately it was raining when we were there.

Very friendly hosts- we had an exceptionally warm welcome. The room was very well serviced. A good continental breakfast.

It would be helpful to have a kettle and cups in the room, and possibly a microwave. These facilities were available in a communal kitchen shared with the other guests.

The owners are wonderful. They could not do enough to make our stay any better and helped us with luggage, and collecting from the ferry. The Guest House is modern and comfortable and we enjoyed the one night we had there immensely.

There are only 2 rooms in the Guest House and you could hear the occupants in the other room a little - though to be fair, they were very quiet guests. If they had been noisy, you would have heard that.

Ian was incredibly helpful, right from when we first booked and he suggested we could leave our car at the property while we crossed to Wellington for the weekend before returning to Anchor Down, to when he offered to waive the payment for our second night after we decided to cancel due to the cyclone, as we were moving on to Nelson. He also really helpful with tips for what to see on the rest of our trip.

Quiet, spacious room with no stairs. They provided transportation from the train and to the ferry as well as pointing out the sites in town and giving restaurant recommendations. Ian and Janet are wonderful hosts who had helpful advice when our scheduled ferry was cancelled.

Lighting in the room was terrible. The en suite was in two parts across the room. Breakfast was basically expanded continental.
