The room is nice. It would be nice if the bathroom could be in the room, otherwise it would be very inconvenient. It is very quiet at night, but at the same time it seems that the sound insulation is not very good. Afraid of disturbing others.

We had a very pleasant 3 night stay at the Gables. We were in a cottage, and had plenty of space - living area, basic kitchen, separate bedroom with bathroom. Comfortable and clean. The continental breakfast was fresh and delicious (toast, jams, fruit, yogurt, homemade croissants, juice) and delivered to us in our cottage. Coffee and tea were available in our kitchenette, and I think hot breakfast was available to order for a small extra charge. We were quite comfortable temperature wise, and there was a fan - but note that there is no AC. The staff were superb, very attentive and ensured we were happy and had everything we needed! We had a parking spot, and the location is excellent - walk to ferries, museums, restaurants, bakery, laundromat, etc.

We stayed in one of the adorable cottages at the back of the property, away from the road. It has a little kitchen with everything you might need, a nice table and couches, and a very comfortable bed. All the fixtures are antique but work perfectly. It even has its own little private yard. Highly recommended.

Spending the night after time in Nelson before ferry ride to Wellington. Perfect location by downtown yet private and quiet cottage. Just perfect

We stayed at The Gables for 2 nights before taking the ferry to the North Island Unfortunately after 2 weeks in the South Island this was the very worst accommodation of our trip so far. From the moment we arrived We and another couple of guests turned up at the same time shortly after 3 pm There was no one at the house and after a couple of phone calls (one incohérent) somebody eventually let us in to our rooms We had booked one of the cottages at the back which was probably our biggest mistake The cottage was shabby, kitchen cupboard in need of work, dirty (eg coffee granules all over one shelf), the kitchen was very poorly equipped (eg empty box of tea bags and no teaspoons), flies everywhere with no fly screen so we were unable to open the windows and as there is no air conditioning the room was very hot. Absolutely nowhere to put a suitcase other than the floor or sofa. Uncomfortable bed and thin pillows. The shower is extremely basic and a little grimy. Some very basic products just placed on the floor. No hooks either. There is a small untended garden at the front of the cottage. There are old bits of building equipment eg wheelbarrows strewn around. Parking could have been an issue as the details say only free on street parking is available We and the other couple parked at the back of the house where there was plenty of room to park although we had read that the host had previously objected to guests parking there. The wifi wouldn’t work for the first 24 hours although this was available on our second night The whole house, cottages, and outside areas are run down and very much past their best. The house is now bright blue and not as in the picture. Breakfast was pretty dismal. Squash not orange juice, ordinary sliced bread covered with a bit of cling film, various pots of vegemite, jam plonked in middle of the table. Everything self service. A couple of pain au chocolat were provided but no offer of an alternative. No hosting is going on at this unloved B and B. It is very much in need of a host who cares about the guests and what is required to run a good B and B Apparently the owner also runs the Escape to Picton boutique hotel and restaurant.Good luck

This place is cute and tucked away in the small town of Picton. Even though it is a port town for the ferry, it was super quiet. The views were gorgeous and the little cottage style flat was cozy. The only issue being that the sink in the bathroom leaked all night, and there was no fan available, but only a small mark off for those as it wasn't a huge problem. The owner was incredibly nice and hospitable. We would stay in this place again for certain!
