About this property
Firkins Retreat - Picton. A truely unique experience. (Pet-Friendly)
A very unique experience in Picton with incredible views. After working very had to bring this project together we now open it up for all to enjoy. Firkins Retreat is something completely different. You definitely feel the vibe when you look out to the epic views of the township as you walk around to the entry past the ferns and waterfall.

Our first time in New Zealand and this was by far our favorite place we stayed! The host has done a great job with the retreat and was so welcoming. Great amenities and it was just such a neat, unique home. Very close (walking distance) to everything Picton has to offer! Will definitely be returning if we are ever on the South Island again. Thanks Brad!

A Perfect Retreat
Everything about this property makes you feel calm and relaxed. A perfect spot for a getaway.
The views are amazing, it is warm & cosy & has a lovely indoor/outdoor flow.
Then to top it off....a fabulous spa pool to unwind in.
The communication from our host Brad was exceptional. We will certainly be recommending Firkin's Retreat to friends & family.
