A great find in Picton
A welcoming and lovely spot to stay in Picton. We stayed in the one of the cottages and it was excellent. Very comfortable rooms, very private and had everything we needed. A delicious breakfast too !

No one available to meet us at the property - had to go to a nearby hotel to ring for someone to open up. No wardrobe or facility to hang clothes. No extra blanket. Two conditioners, no shampoo. Yard area very untidy.
Lovely breakfast and welcoming glass of wine. Close to town, great location.

Just minutes from the ferry and bus terminals, I was able to disembark from my ferry and walk to the Gables. My hostess upgraded me from a room in the main house to my own cabin out back and it was beautiful. The Andante Cottage was spotless and everything was new and lovingly care for. I would happily stay there again. My hostess brought a breakfast tray to my room, with more food than I could possibly eat in one sitting. Everything was delicious. As if all that weren't enough, my hostess transported my luggage to her workplace, which was across the street from the bus station, so I could spend the morning exploring the town before collecting my things from her and heading on.

Beautiful house
Lovely stay at the newly renovated Mariners room. Was welcomed by Eden and provided a tour of the house and offered some wine. I was only passing through for a few hours before catching the ferry so did not have time for breakfast, but the common room looked very well presented. Everything was spotless. Would recommend if you need somewhere to stay in Picton.

The Wifi internet is not strong in the backyard rooms, we need to go outside to have internet access.
The rest was everything perfect.

Disappointed as guests feel they are imposing
I was a bit disappointed. Brochure says there was a welcome drink and nibbles. Room s are upstairs. No elevator. Hard for oldies. Had to ask for help to use Lounge TV., none in room. No info on Internet access in lounge. No coffee/tea in rooms. Have to get downstairs. Had to ask for milk as none therein afternoon or night. We really felt we were imposing on the owners by being there. Charm of staying at a historic house spoiled by the lack of guest service.

The Gables was very convenient for come to and from Wellington on the Ferry. We enjoyed a glass of wine and backgammon on the lovely front porch. This location is perfect for walking to town for dinner. There are several beautiful hikes within walking distance as well. We would highly recommended staying at this location.
