Sennen House

Here's a magnificent piece of New Zealand history!  The house, built in 1886 sits on 5 acres of bush backdrop within walking distance of Picton's café's and restaurants. Old established plantings frame this heritage registered home adding to an ambience impossible to attain in today's constructions.

Richard and Imogen have restored and combined the very best of historic charm and contemporary style.  Yes, there are screens, DVD players, and computer availability. It's all there, but unobtrusively. Gracious country living continues, in the three suites, Queen Charlotte, Sir Joseph Banks, and Edwin Fox which are all individually decorated with sumptuous linens, rich colours, and exquisite yet comfortable furniture in keeping with the style. Each suite has a kitchen, dining area to enjoy the glorious breakfast hamper, a beautiful bathroom and views of the hills, out over Picton and beyond.

Richard and Imogen are experienced and dedicated hosts who make a point to socialise with guests and help them plan trips to best explore the sounds and the Marlborough wine growing district. Sennen House, so close to Picton Ferry is a great introduction to Marlborough.
