Sennen House Boutique Accommodation

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.

This was our fav stay in NZ - the host were so wonderful and set the bar high. Bed was comfy the room was very quiet and room was more like an apartment Delicious breakfast was provided and we really enjoyed the heritage The pet sheep are lovely and being near native bush lots of lovely bird calls to listen to

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!

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 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.

We had a wonderful stay at Sennen House and were made to feel very at home by Michelle and Stefan and Harvey the dog. The accommodation was tasteful and suited the age of the house. The setting in beautiful grounds was calming and peaceful. Sennen House is close to town and so much more enjoyable than a hotel. It was nice to feel part of a bygone era for a couple of days.
