If you want to stay in a place that is sunny, idyllic and private yet is still close to town then look no further. We have great views over Picton and beyond that the Queen Charlotte Sound. Our garden is a paradise for native birds and fauna, we also have 3 beautiful walking tracks just 200 meters away. We have an extensive foraging garden, with all sorts of fruit and vegetables available for our guests to enjoy. We are continuing to develop our property with Karaka Cottage being the first of 3 cottages planned. Each cottage is completely self contained and private, with there own spa pool overlooking Picton Township. We have created very luxurious and comfortable accommodation in a beautiful natural environment ;-)
