This is a much loved and enjoyed Family Holiday Home, this home has a beautiful view from the Kitchen/Lounge, with a perfect flat grassed area to relax and lounge out the front when the weather is calm and clear.
Out the back is a decking area + covered outdoor Living/BBQ area out the back that provides a sheltered outdoor area .
You can sit out the front & watch the Kids play and fish on the recently refurbished Warf & Floating Jetty.
The house offers a a functional Kitchen with Gas Hobs/Oven a Family sized Fridge/Freezer & plenty of quality cooking equipment. But being an Off The Grid property there is no microwave. All power is from Solar Panels & Battery system.
Fresh drinking water is via a spring fed creek witch is run thru filters and UV sterilized.
The Main house can easily sleep 4+ adults, and the sleepout will sleep 4 people.
There is no light pollution so you can enjoy the magnificent night sky above you and on some nights the magical star reflection in the sea too.
Water Taxis are available to take you to and from the bay (30 minutes) and bring in regular supplies of fresh food. The supermarket and other shops in Picton will package and deliver your food to the water taxis. There is no road access.

Andrew was great ,excellant communication. House had everything we needed, clean and comfortable. Amenties were great! Excellent access from Jetty, great walk around property and up the hill. Would definitely recommend. Note: always use the mooring as weather is very unpredictable.
