Local cafes, restaurants, lively little pubs, a variety of gift shops, book and art shops, boat cruising, kayaking, biking, swimming with dolphins, hiking the hills of Queen Charlotte Sounds- it is all here on our doorstep. And the super friendly Picton people who make this such a great gem of a place to explore. Close by is Blenheim town with its surrounding, glorious vineyards; boutique and large estates to sample wines and local foods.. Information on walks, places to visit and explore and what to see are all available at our home.
