Boasting garden views, Boathouse Apartments features accommodation with patio, around 600 metres from Picton Memorial Park Beach. The property has sea and mountain views, and is 600 metres from Shelley Beach. There is a sun terrace and guests can make use of free WiFi, free private parking and an electric vehicle charging station. The owner Fred is super hospitable and helpful. We arrived in Picton via ferry in the early evening and he made himself available to pick us up from the terminal. He gave careful and clear instructions and then drove us to his property, which is beautiful! I would absolutely recommend Boathouse to anyone looking for a place to stay in Picton!

Situated in Picton, 100 metres from Picton Memorial Park Beach and 500 metres from Shelley Beach, Oxley's Superior Apartment offers barbecue facilities and air conditioning. This beachfront property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. The accommodation features a lift and room service for guests. This apartment is superb. It has everything you need for a short break away. It is so well thought out for groups of friends staying together. Even the sofa bed in the lounge has direct access to a bathroom without inconveniencing anybody. The apartment was spotless. The balcony out over the marina was a lovely place to drink wine and chill as the sun set. It is so well placed for any of the restaurants and cafés in Picton and great for early morning starts for cruises. We won’t stay anywhere else in Picton now. Great parking too.

Furneaux Lodge is located in Endeavour Inlet and has a garden and shared lounge. This resort offers a concierge service and luggage storage space. The property features a restaurant.

All guest rooms at the resort are equipped with a seating area. All rooms come with a private bathroom equipped with a bath or shower, while some rooms have a kitchen. Guest rooms will provide guests with an oven. We absolutely loved our stay! Once we figured out the transportation to get to the lodge, everything was easy and well organized. It’s a fabulous place to be both active and relax: it’s right on the Queen Charlotte Track, we borrowed the kayaks, and we swam in the water. We also enjoyed sitting in the hammocks and relaxing in the hot tub. The food was delicious (though I found the prices a bit high for NZ) and enjoyed in their lovely dining room or patio. The service was great! We can’t wait to come back!

Featuring garden views, Hopewell Lodge in Kenepuru Sounds features accommodation, a garden, a private beach area, a shared lounge, a terrace and barbecue facilities. The lodge features both WiFi and private parking free of charge. Outstanding friendly staff, they make you feel like home, and they make an incredible good pizza (we had the chicken plum - highly recommend) The place is really magical, you stay at the Fjord and can discover it kayaking, hiking or biking. If you're lucky you can see bioluminescent plankton glowing in the sea at night, beautiful stars and glow worms. You can watch the sunrise from the hot tup. It's a place to enjoy! You should stay there at least 2 days. The only thing we didn't like was that we didn't stay longer ;) If there would be an 11. Star, they would have earned it! ... And there is a chimney burning all day ... We had breakfast in front of it :)
