Sennen House Boutique Accommodation

It was a gorgeous Victorian style house. The antique furniture and decoration were stunning. Michelle and Stefan were amazing hosts. Their pup, Harvey was adorable and so friendly. The breakfast for the room was farm fresh and delicious. Loved Michelle’s sense of humor when I ask about the bathroom. The door was leaded stained glass … beautiful. Best place we have stayed in New Zealand. I highly recommend this spot. The deck had a beautiful view of the woods and many native birds. The fresh cut flowers in the room and the bathroom were an unexpected delight. Best night sleep. If you’re in Picton this is the best by far place to stay.

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 apar**ent. 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!

Wonderful stay in a real home from home apar**ent Every detail thought of to make you feel welcome and cared for Michelle and Stefan were excellent hosts, going above and beyond including transport to and from the port Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and will stay again if we are in the area

The Sennen house is an old villa from the 19th century, now run as a private B&B with a british charme. Michelle, our host was very friendly, reliable and helpful. The rooms and kitchen are fully equipped, comfy and clean. The breakfast was really good. Whenever we will be back in Picton, we will definitely book the Sennen House again.

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.

Beautiful historic house in Picton. A little far of a walk into town, but it's doable. Would definitely recommend for a nice place to stay, the host was very nice and welcoming.

Beautiful home and wonderful hosts. Our room was very nice and the bed extremely comfortable. The hosts provided milk, eggs, bread, yogurt, cheese and spreads as well as Nespresso. We enjoyed a wine tour in lovely Picton. I’d highly recommend!

The property and rooms were beautiful, clean and the owners were so helpful

Great hospitality from Michelle and Stefan. Beautiful room in a quiet part of town, but easy walking distance into town. Well-stocked kitchen with homemade goodies. Highly recommend!!
