    There was a glitch with our booking.com booking (ant the website’s end) and Heather at Stay@10 went above and beyond to sort it for us. Things were fixed immediately with very clear comms. Really appreciated the great service.

Renovated modernised bungalow with separate lounge and a guest only shared bathroom. Open plan dining and kitchen. Bedding is all natural fibres with cotton sheets, bamboo and/or wool, feather and down blankets and duvet inners. Smart tvs in both rooms. Stand-up phone chargers. Night latch and key lockable bedroom doors. Bathroom has heated towel bars, hair dryer, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, body lotion, disposable shower caps, hairspray, tooth flossers and cotton buds for your use. Heated toilet seat. Electronic remote controlled bidet. Shower has high water pressure. Outdoor fully plumbed shower for washing down bikes and/or dogs. Secure back area for storing bikes. Off-street parking for 2 standard vehicles. Outdoor small table with cane chairs. My dog Perrita is an inside dog. She is well behaved, but still very young and learning. If you are not a dog person, I respectfully advise that my property will not be the right fit for you. Please also note - pets aside from dogs on the “dog rate plan” are on request. Message me before you book to ensure compatibility. Thank you.
I enjoy meeting people and hearing their story. Equally, I respect people's need for privacy. I am an avid gardener and lover of nature. I have my own business in Supply Chain & Logistics Consultancy. Obviously I am also a dog lover. Perrita is my fourth dog, and so named as Spanish for puppy.
Quiet neighbourhood for rest and relaxation. Close to all amenities. Restaurants and bars are in the CBD, or Redwoodtown, which are both a 10-15 minutes walk. Strongly recommend you spend some time in the Marlborough Sounds. Lochmara Lodge is a must visit and only a 10 minute boat ride from Picton. There are too many walks in the Marlborough Sounds to mention, but the Snout in Picton, the Queen Charlotte Walkway, and any part of the Queen Charlotte Track are a must if you enjoy outdoor treks - short or long. The Wither Hills at the South end of the town have 2-3 hour walks. You will get a panoramic view across the Province and out to Cook Strait on a good day. Enjoy a cruise around The Marlborough Sounds on the mailboat. Visit Kaipupu Wildlife Sanctuary in the Sounds. The Omaka Aviation Centre co-funded by Peter Jackson is 5 minutes’ drive from here. Walk the Grovetown Lagoon with water wildlife and native restoration. Of course, the wineries. Harvest Restaurant for lunch or dinner. Vines Village on Rapaura Road is a family friendly cluster of boutique craft like shops. Restaurant, playground, wine tasting, gin and whiskey tasting. The newly built Marlborough Library is a brilliant facility for reading, working, or just relaxing.
