Originally built in the 1930's Top of the Town has been lovingly renovated to a very high standard. It has a very spacious garden with ample off-street parking for boats and cars. The rooms are beautifully decorated and include TVs, fridges, microwaves, tea and coffee, bathrobes, irons and ironing board. There is ample outdoor patio spaces for guests to enjoy with room 4 having its own secure outdoor patio ideal for dogs. Tracee and Bryan are the owners of the property and live on-site with their dog and two cats. Tracee manages the property and looks forward to meeting you and making your stay at Top of the Town an enjoyable one. The property was being run as a B and B with an offsite manager. They have changed this to 3 boutique hotel-style rooms. The hotel is also pet-friendly. Originally from Auckland, they moved to what they call their paradise in May 2019 after purchasing Top of the Town and are enjoying living in Picton immensely. Owners double vaccinated.
Love the look of the 1930's property. The way it's been tastefuly restored is at the owner's credit. Our room was well set out, all amenities covered. After spending 2 days travelling from Kerikeri to Greymouth, we arrived in Picton late at night due to the ferry being delayed in Wellington and Tracee met us out the front. It's good to find somewhere like this that's pet friendly.

Spacious well appointed cottages with superb views set on 10 acres, 1.5 Km from Te Anau on the road to Milford Sound. Cottages are self-contained self-catering. All cottages have free WiFi, flat screen tv. Quality linen and fluffy bathrobes. We have a Fox Terrier, whom likes to announce your arrival. Also, we have 2 cats and some friendly Dexter cows, a goats and 2 sheep.
We spent 4 wonderful nights here. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. The cottage exceeded our pretty high expectations - we didn’t want to leave! 10/10 for cleanliness and facilities. So cosy and the mountain views are amazing. We’ll very happily stay here again when we’re visiting Te Anau. We were delighted with this place!

Unique, spacious and relaxing accommodation, Vintners Retreat offers 9 x two bedroom, two bathroom villas and 2 x three bedroom, two bathroom villas. All villas are fully self-contained, they have everything you need for an extended stay, including a BBQ on the patio and a spa in the bathroom. We are nestled in the heart of the Marlborough vineyards, New Zealand’s wine capital. We are 5 minutes walking distance to 3 fabulous Wineries and many more Wineries only 10-15 minutes’ walk away. Set on 4 acres of landscaped gardens with a solar-heated outdoor pool & tennis court, you will not find any accommodation more suited to family or group holidays! Each villa is private, you have your own backyard, full kitchen, a washer and dryer. We all know that glorious feeling of being able to wash ALL your clothes at once while travelling! (That got you smiling!) Under 2 hours flight from Auckland, 40 minutes from Christchurch and 15 minutes from Wellington, Vintners Retreat is ideally placed!
We stayed here for 2 nights with our 2 teenagers in a 2-bedroom villa. It's a peaceful place to stay, with views out over the vineyards and mountain range. We loved the pool and also played tennis. Our villa was clean, comfortable, spacious and had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again.

Really well hidden gem. Property is very well looked after, good space for two of us, we couldn’t find any faults at all. Pretty cosy chalets inside out, was very quiet despite being Easter weekend. Place is within couple of minutes from town centre, recommended.

Patons Rock Beach Villas offer a self check in private accommodation. Fully self contained and serviced daily, they are an ideal choice for the discerning holiday maker looking for something more than a motel room. With only 4 spacious 2-bedroom villas, surrounded in gardens and located well off the road, you will feel like you have the whole place to yourselves. Sun and garden views from every window. We are just a few minutes walk from Patons Rock beach, one of Golden Bays safest swimming beaches.
Lovely surroundings, short walk to the beach, great standard of accommodation - we really loved our 3 nights here and would love to return as we didn't get to do all we wanted to. Pupu Springs, Wainui Falls, grove walk, Farewell Spit tour all highlights. Enjoyed the Wholemeal cafe in Takaka - several times!

Great place to stay, friendly owner, room very clean and tidy, close enough to Franz Joseph centre but far enough to be surrounded by a semi rural setting, saved our day when a near by air bnb double booked. Lots to do and see in the area, highly recommend a helicopter ride!

The very essence of style and taste - Commonage Villas managed by Staysouth is an unbeatable base to explore the cosmopolitan resort town of Queenstown. Completed in mid-2007, these wonderfully luxurious and spacious homes are nestled on Queenstown’s most prestigious address, overlooking the bay. The range of exclusive villas has sweeping panoramas, lake views and mountain vistas. Stunning decor exudes comfort and style and guests can expect uncompromising quality, 24-hour concierge services and an unsurpassed five star experience.
It was very nice to stay and we were there for Summer holiday. In Winter time, as I love hot bath and shower after skiing, I may find a bit of problem because shower pressure is terrible. I couldn’t imagine how can it be like this beautiful place. Jet bath hasn’t been used probably because some thing came out from the jet and took us long time to fill the tab. One night was very windy so the door from the garage made a rattling noice constantly. Other than that, it is a beautiful place to stay.

The Factory offers luxury accommodation in an historic building on the beachfront at Hapuku. Here, you can relax in peace and privacy with views of the ocean on one side and stunning snow-capped mountains on the other. Hapuku is less than 10 minutes drive from Kaikoura which is famous for its amazing marine wildlife. The Factory offers exclusive use of the guest wing and is perfect for couples, families or small groups of friends.
Everything about The Factory is just gorgeous - from the stunning setting sandwiched between moody mountains and the everchanging surf beach - lie in bed or on the comfy loungers and listen to waves, tui & bellbirds - to the perfect decor along with a character building with an interesting history... Add in wonderful hosts who go above and beyond to ensure you have a great stay, and all I can say is what a winner. So lucky that we can get in the car and drive here in a couple of hours! Thanks so much team Factory - pleasure to meet you. We'll be back!
