Quality accommodation with friendly hosts, big rooms, great breakfast and fantastic shower! We were wet and bedraggled when we arrived but Janet let us check in early to dry out. When we left she saved us dragging our luggage around by delivering our cases to the ferry terminal. Above and beyond expectations. We’d definitely stay here again.

The service provided by anchor down was fantastic from the moment I contacted them regarding a booking for myself and my elderly parents. Facilities were excellent, Breakfast ( including strawberries from the garden) was plentiful and tasty. The location is quiet but very convenient to the town. Loved the garden - great place to relax. When we go to Picton again we will definitely stay here.

We were warmly greeted by our hosts Janet and Ian and given a tour of their lovely home where we would be staying. Everything was wonderful including the fantastic breakfast that was already on the table when we got up in the morning. It is obvious that this couple enjoy hosting people from around the world and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Easily the best hosts anywhere in our 3 week NZ adventure! Highly recommended

We stayed at Anchor Down based on reviews and were not led astray. Extremely comfortable, private room,.....very large with an incredibly comfortable bed. Janet was a fantastic host and we enjoyed the hot breakfast. They will even charge your electric car (which is an added bonus as there is not EV charger in Picton). Room was warm (which is a rarity in NZ), spotlessly clean, with a comfortable kitchen/lounge to relax in.

Couldn't have been better. Janet and Ian are awesome very helpful hosts, a lovely breakfast provided. For the accommodation they have thought of everything - comfort, good shower, relaxing outdoor area, heat pump, ....... , locality, warm welcome and information and farewell. We loved our stay (twice this time) and hope to return.
