The apartment is exactly as described. The view is really that amazing! Carmen is a great host and has excellent suggestions to make the best of your stay in the area. Communication was fast and easy. If you are into jogging, we recommend the Marina to Marina track between Picton and Waikawa. There are also excellent walking tracks and viewpoints nearby. Picton is a great point of departure for discovering the Marlborough Sounds, for instance on a mailboat trip. We had a great time!
