Tracee Parsons host and owner of the property
Originally built in the 1930's Top of the Town has been lovingly renovated to a very high standard. It has a very spacious garden with ample off-street parking for boats and cars and is pet friendly. The rooms are beautifully decorated and include TVs, fridges, microwaves, tea and coffee, bathrobes, irons and ironing board. There is ample outdoor patio spaces for guests to enjoy with room 4 having its own secure outdoor patio ideal for dogs.
Tracee and Bryan are the owners of the property and live on-site with their dog and two cats. Tracee, who manages the property, looks forward to meeting you and making your stay at Top of the Town an enjoyable one. The property was being run as a B and B with an offsite manager. They have changed this to 3 boutique hotel-style rooms and a pet-friendly environment. Originally from Auckland, they moved to what they call their paradise in May 2019 after purchasing Top of the Town and are enjoying living in Piction immensely.
Picton is the ideal centre from which to explore the beautiful Marlborough region and the Queen Charlotte Sound. You can walk into Picton town centre within ten minutes. There are lots of restaurants,cafes, banks, supermarkets and shops. Take a boat trip or hire a kayak. Walk the Queen Charlotte Track or enjoy the Marlborough wineries.
