An outstanding property—we absolutely loved our stay. Michelle, Stefan (and Harvey) are exceptional hosts!! Our room, the James Cook Apartment, was spacious, spotless, and beautifully decorated, and the grounds are simply stunning. The location is perfect, with an easy 15-minute walk to the main street. Breakfast was delicious and a real highlight. We can't wait to return!

The Sennen house is an old villa from the 19th century, now run as a private B&B with a british charme. Michelle, our host was very friendly, reliable and helpful. The rooms and kitchen are fully equipped, comfy and clean. The breakfast was really good. Whenever we will be back in Picton, we will definitely book the Sennen House again.

8/10 Very good

In many respects this should get a 5***** review, as the attention to detail and all the little extras are just superb. But it was all a little too much for me. And please, the gravel drive doesn’t work with heavy wheeled suitcases.

We had a lovely stay at Sennen House. From the moment we arrived, Michelle and Stefan were exceptional hosts- so welcoming, friendly, and helpful with local tips. We stayed in the Sir Joseph Banks room and immediately felt at home. The luxury linens and soaps, comfortable bed, fresh flowers, and daily baking were such thoughtful touches and made our stay feel extra special. Each morning we enjoyed a generous continental breakfast with eggs, bread, cereals, fresh fruit, and yogurt. We loved spending time on the balcony over looking the beautiful gardens.The location is ideal, with an easy walk into Picton for great restaurants and shops, and close to scenic hikes and local attractions. Sennen House is a charming, relaxing retreat and a place we would happily stay again.

From the moment you meet Michelle and Stefan your hosts at Sennen house you are made to feel very welcome along with their friendly little dog. We stayed in the James Cook suite and it is was sublime. The accommodation is made up of several rooms at the top of the house and is fantastic. The wrap around colonial style balcony is a delight to sit and relax on. Tea and cake was available on arrival and breakfast set up in the dining room with all components in the fridge ready for the next day. 2 beautiful bathrooms to choose from with delightful products and fluffy towels. A truly beautiful spot in Picton but only 500m from the Interislander ferry terminal, so perfect for a short stay. A big thank you to Michelle and Stefan as I had sustained a knee injury and Nothing was too much trouble. They truly went the extra mile to ensure we enjoyed our stay. We are very grateful.
