John made us feel at home immediately and we were truly honoured to be his first airbnb clients.We had fantastic conversations on a whole range of subjects and John could not have been more attentive to our needs and has a wide knowledge of activities around Picton and the Marlborough Sounds.The accommodations were clean and comfortable reflecting a 1940's ambiance which we found soothing.We would definitely recommend John's place:so close to town too.Thanks so much John.
