We stayed with Bill and Margaret for three days of our honeymoon trip around New Zealand. We genuinely could not have asked for a better place to stay whilst we explored the town and surrounding area. The welcome was spot on (including admonishing us for not telling them when we were arriving so they could collect us) and throughout our stay they were the perfect hosts; always happy to chat and share suggestions but without being overbearing in any way. The house is beautiful and feels wonderfully homely. We were upgraded to the beautiful upstairs suite with our own sitting room and massive en-suite. The garden is an oasis of buzzing bees from the hive and beautiful plants. The friendly small dogs are a perfect addition (although can easily be kept out the way if you're not dog people). Breakfast, as described in other reviews is wonderful, we just felt bad that we couldn't finish it all and the invitation to join Margaret and Bill at their pop-up restaurant at the Blenheim farmers market on the Sunday rather than eating in the house added another dimension to our stay. In short, perfect. Thanks to our hosts for having us and being a key part of our wonderful three days in beautiful Picton. ##### Chris Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer 24 Nov 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Magnificent B&B experience My husband and I️ stayed with Bill & Margaret on a stop over from the North Island. We had many questions prior to our trip and Margaret was quick to respond which is incredible during your planning process. Their B&B is absolutely incredible and we highly recommend to anyone thinking of staying in Picton. Every morning, Margaret and Bill served up an amazing breakfast and were so fun to talk to about our day. We had been traveling for a few weeks and needed to do a load of laundry, Margaret offered to do our laundry while we went out wine tasting! This level of service is paramount to ensuring you will be 100% relaxed. The quality of their food is magnificent! The service and accommodations are A+++! We will recommend to anyone traveling to NZ - thank you Bill & Margaret!!!! Disclaimer: this is not your typical “corporate” hotel setting. You will feel as though you are staying a family home. It’s cozy and comfortable. Have this mindset when booking your stay. ##### Jennifer ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marc, San Jose, CA 9 May 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fabulous classic style home with superb food! 3 course breakfasts were superb! We were throughly spoiled and felt bad about not being able to finish it all because it was so good. Definitely worth eating in for dinner too!. Kppilaw Houses is located is within 10 minutes walk from the harbor wharf where there are many tour companies operating cruises on the sound to experience dolphins, walk the Queen Charlotte track from Ship Cove, etc., etc. Margaret and Bill were very generous with their time and advice about the Marlborough wineries, and the road conditions heading south. We had a lovely stay! ##### Marc ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angus 13 Apr 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Pick of Picton I couldn't recommend a stay at Kippilaw House enough. From The moment my wife and I arrived Bill and Margaret went out there way to ensure we were catered for. The room was large, with all ammenities that you would find in a top hotel. The property is within walking distance of the restaurants of Picton. ##### Angus ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jim, Arlington, VA 6 Mar 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### fantastic place, with great ownership Located close to town, but still quiet and peaceful.
