Sennen House Boutique Accommodation

This B&B is beautiful, it is just a 15/20 minute walk to the front and is set in beautiful surroundings . Stefan met us off the train, drove us to Sennen House and showed us to our room. We stayed in the Queen Charlotte. There was a beautiful 4 poster bed, the room was immaculate with sensational views. There was also 2 slices of homemade banana loaf and a bowl with fresh fruit in. There was a table that was set in readiness for breakfast the following morning. The room had a kitchenette, this was located behind two large wooden doors. There was a fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster, egg boiler and coffee machine. There was everything we needed for breakfast, eggs, bread, fruit, yogurt, cheese, jam, honey, cereal, milk, water and fresh orange juice. Stefan very kindly took us to the train station the following morning. We can’t recommend this beautiful B&B enough. Absolutely stunning. David and Julianne Bullock from the UK

Not much to add from other positive reviews. Beautiful room with deck outside door, wonderful hosts, delicious breakfast makings provided in the tiny kitchenette hidden behind double doors. Gorgeous setting and beautiful gardens. Sweet dog, Harvey. Breakfast fixings included eggs from Michelle and Stefan's hens (electric egg cooker provided), fruit, juice,nice breads for toast, butter and jam, coffee (in a Nespresso type machine) and a sweet pastry or brownie. Free parking just outside the grounds. Michelle helped us arrange a pickup for the kayak tour company that we had reserved. Lots of info in the room about where to eat and services in town.

If you love a historic home to stay in this one is for you! The upstairs of the home is converted to 3 rooms. The owners hospitality was amazing. We loved their sheep, chickens and dog. The room was bright, airy and very comfortable. We especially loved the homely touches of a homemade cake or biscuit and eggs from their chickens.

This is the latest of a number of stays at this delightful property in Picton. We book the James Cook suite on the top floor with its own lounge, kitchen, two bathrooms and a comfy bedroom with great views. The owners are welcoming and helpful, and provide an extensive breakfast each day. This is a good place to base yourself if coming across on the ferry from the North Island and planning some visits to the fabulous Marlborough wineries. A half day Seafood Odyssey cruise on Marlborough Sound is also recommended. One of our favourite stays in NZ!

Sennen House is in a peaceful location surrounded by exquisite gardens. Every comfort is anticipated and the room is not a room but a small apartment. Michelle is a host extraordinaire who went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful -- she even drove us to town for dinner after we took a longer than anticipated hike. It is an easy walk to town (unless one is done in from outdoor activiities!) and we looked forward to returning to Sennen House each day. We LOVE the way breakfast was provided -- everything was in the cupboards and fridge for us to make our own meal which is genius since Picton is a place one goes to participate in outdoor activities -- some days it is necessary to get up early to be out on the Sound or the trails -- breakfast can be made according to individual schedules. Sennen House and Michelle are second to none!

Sennen House is a beautiful, old home surrounded by a lovely garden on a quiet edge of the town of Picton. We very much enjoyed our room, our breakfast, the setting, and the peace and quiet. However, we are writing this review because of the extraordinary hospitality of the owners, Michelle and Stefan. Both went above and beyond the call of duty to assist us during our brief stay. Picton is a charming, waterside town, and it is the port of arrival for large ferry boats coming from Wellington and the North Island. We arrived on such a boat, but following our ships arrival at the Picton Ferry Terminal, we arrived at the baggage claim area only to discover that another passenger had walked off with our luggage. Michelle came to the terminal to greet us and to take us to her Bed & Breakfast even though we had not requested that, and Michelle then patiently waited with us at the Terminal until the wayward passenger with our luggage could be tracked down, and the luggage returned to us. Not only did Michelle support us throughout our mini-crisis, but because one of us had a severely sprained ankle, and we were traveling without a car, Stefan was kind enough to drive us to a restaurant for dinner, so we wouldn't have to walk. As if those extremely kind gestures weren't enough, Michelle even drove us on the day of our departure to the train depot. The owners had family visiting and many other time consuming responsibilities during our stay, so for them to so graciously accommodate us showed exceptional character and generosity. If Sennen House is within your means, we can't imagine why visitors to Picton would want to lodge with anyone else.
