The Best Hotel in Picton, Upper South Island and the West Coast

This small homestay right on the water's edge was one of the first houses built in the spectacular Anakiwa Bay, and even served as a school. There are two self-catered guesthouses on this property, a 30-minute drive from Picton at the southern end of the Queen Charlotte Track. The friendly hosts will go out of their way to assist you in exploring the surroundings, or booking local activities. Explore the thoughtful book, board game, and DVD collection, and don't miss the glowworm walk at night. The Queen Charlotte Tavern is about 7 km (4.5 miles) up the road.
