Nigel's place was perfect for our Picton stay. His place is spotless and has everything you need. He had a lovely bottle of Blenheim sparkling wine and chocolate waiting for us in the refrigerator as a welcome gift. My wife and I made sure to arrive in time for the sunset and enjoyed the welcome sparkling wine on the balcony, taking in the views. Nigel's place is spotless and so nicely designed. While winter isn't warm at night, it's also not extremely cold. We loved sitting out on the balcony at all times, taking in the sunrise, sunset as well as the stars. The sky is littered with stars, so much more than we get where we live. And, during the day, the sun warms the place up well. Nigel has designed the windows to open so you get the feeling that you're outside while you cook, etc., which is spectacular. The walk into Picton took us 40-45 minutes, but it's not a hard walk. My wife has bad knees and has to wear knee braces and still insists that we made a great choice choosing Nigel's place and walking into town every day as opposed to staying in Picton. We did take the A-1 shuttle to the ferry the morning we checked out. Very short drive. Nigel's place is pristine and has all you need. And, the bathtub alone is worth booking his place. Also, we inquired about wine tastings in Blenheim before leaving for our trip and Nigel was incredibly thorough and quick in his response, providing tons of information. My wife and I are grateful to Nigel for providing us with a wonderful stay!
