Anchor Down Picton Bed & Breakfast

Breakfast was great, Proprietors very friendly and helpful

An excellent breakfast was prepared for us to take on the inter islander ferry early the next morning. Our hosts, Ian and Janet, went out of their way to assist us. Because of the Covid 19 Pandemic we had had to change our plans and they were only too happy to bring forward our booking to accommodate our earlier return to the North Island - and at no additional cost. Our hosts took particular care to clean our room prior to our arrival and even provided us with a bottle of wine to enjoy that evening.

Cannot think of anything that our hosts could have done better.

What a delightful stay at Anchor Down B & B! We felt right at home the minute we arrived. Janet and Ian are extremely knowledgeable about the area and very helpful hosts. They are sensitive to guests’ needs and nothing is too much trouble. We stayed here the night before we walked the Queen Charlotte Track and for two nights following the walk. Janet and Ian collected us and our luggage from Picton Station. The next day they again drove us to the boat with our luggage and collected us at the end of the walk. They both go out of their way to assist and make you feel at home. We were treated to a very extensive breakfast including fresh and homemade stewed fruit, tea/ coffee, juice, yoghurt, a cooked breakfast of bacon tomato and corn fritters, jams and toast etc. Needed to walk the Queen Charlotte Track again after all of that! Our room was thoughtfully laid out with a King bed, a kitchenette including kettle and microwave plus crockery and fridge. A small area with two comfortable chairs and television provided connection to the outside world if you want it. This, combined with free wifi and a small dining area provided all that we required for a few nights’ stay. The bathroom revealed the “secret weapon” to complete our stay: the best shower you could dream of!! I didn’t want to get out of the shower after walking the Queen Charlotte Track. It was divine! It is barely ten minutes to walk to restaurants and shops in Picton and the supermarket is only a few minutes away. We loved our stay here. Only wish we could have stayed longer. Thanks Janet and Ian! A very memorable experience.

We loved everything about our stay.

A lovely friendly super clean and oh so comfortable stay. No need to look elsewhere just get on and book a stay you won’t be disappointed

Easy to find and designated parking. Friendly welcome from Ian and Janet with info about what to do, places to eat, etc. Room was large with excellent bathroom and kitchenette and views over the town. Bed was large and comfy. Everything was spotlessly clean. Breakfast was lovely and set us up for the day. Easy access to the town.
