We were blown away by this home. It is outstanding! Everything and more is supplied, you will want for nothing. Highly recommended! Very attentive, although not intrusive host.
1 problem we did have was the street light coming through the top windows in the upstairs bedroom which was quite distracting if you like a dark room. We did find it uncomfortable for sleeping. A good eye pillow would be beneficial.

Wonderful in Waikawa
A lovely modern home in a quiet neighbourhood. Plenty of space to spread out with good outdoor options too. The kitchen contains a pantry of staples to top up what you bring. Nigel was a great help with very quick responses to emails and texts. He even helped identify places for boat storage which was much appreciated. Lounge seating was a bit limited for larger groups and the TV is quite small for the space. Minor issues though for a great location, views and warm house. Would love to spend more time here in the future. Thanks Nigel.

Fantastic house. Amazing views. Very thoughtful hosts.
The house was advertised. But we also found an excellently kitted out kitchen for anyone who loves to prepare their own meals. Nigel is a very thoughtful host who wants you to have a good experience. He provided lots of detailed information on the house and things to do in the area and beyond. We had a warm welcome with a high quality food starter pack. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Hard to leave after a week here
Nigel all but rolled out a red carpet for us. Arrive whenever we wanted, let ourselves in, drink gift bottle of champagne while admiring the stunning view in his brand new, ultra modern, immaculately clean and superbly furnished home. Great location. Easy access to everything in the area. What more can I say? So hard to leave.

Glass House
Fabulous house for those who love ultra modern. All windows open up, floor to ceiling with gorgeous views of the sound and bird song in the morning. Under floor heat keeps it warm in the evenings and at night when you can look out to the harbor and admire the bobbing lights on the many boats.
Thank you for all the extras in the kitchen, We enjoyed the bubbly and chocolate. Had a wonderful time traveling to wineries and eating wonderful food everywhere, and it was great to come home to so much room and every modern convenience.
It couldn’t have been nicer. Thank you so much for sharing your house with us!

A magical place
What a delightful stay we had! It's hard to capture in words or pictures how lovely this house is. We slept with the windows open, which meant we had lovely gentle breezes all night and woke to the sound of birds and the view of the sleepy local harbor.
The kitchen is so well stocked with everything you could possibly need to cook up a feast with local fish and lamb - Nigel is generous with sharing his utensils, appliances, oils and all the spices you could possibly need. We loved the welcome champagne and chocolate and the breakfast items - eggs, milk, etc. It just gave us a feeling of home and warmth.
The beds are comfortable, showers are great. We didn't want to leave and dream of coming back. We loved it so much we stayed put our entire stay. Why run around when you have the best home and view.
We are so grateful to have stayed at this fancy home, and deeply appreciate Nigel's hospitality.

Wow!
Wow!! Everything about this property is incredible - the view, the quality of the property, a fabulous kitchen (great for our Christmas dinner) and the little touches to make your stay perfect. A nice easy walk down to the marina and we even walked into Picton. The property is on a hill which gives it the amazing views. We would definitely stay again. Don’t look any further - book!

Fantastic place to stay, gorgeous views, everything 5 stars
Fantastic place to stay, gorgeous views, everything 5 stars. The house, kitchen all fitted out nicely, comfortable beds, obviously somewhat modern as one can see, but still manages to have charm.
If I was being picky it could use a long bench or something opposite the main bed to set suitcases and/or clothing on, some of us don't bend over to the floor as easily as we used to!
I am very glad we stayed here instead of Nelson, drove through Nelson, too big, staying near Picton was a good choice.
