An excellent B&B, with impressive attention to detail and superb food. Staying in with the platter one evening was a great way to relax at the end of an active day. Our hosts were wonderfully informative about the area, nothing was too much trouble, and we hated having to leave.

The hosts are unfailingly polite, cheerful and helpful. You feel like a real guest and not a paying one. The rooms are large, very clean and the bathrooms are top notch. Best B&B we have ever stayed at! Breakfast is great as well.

This was our first stop on a two week tour of the south island and it was a grwat way to start our trip. Jeanne and Carl are wonderful hosts.

We were in Picton as our last port of call in the South Island before moving north.

It's a... More

The room presentation... More

I must admit, having returned from NZ, I am surprised by the very positive reviews on McCormick House. If I had known the reality, I would not have booked there. The hosts are hospitable and helpful, but the Palm Room was very ordinary, with bilious green walls and the 'upmarket' bathroom failed to mask the fact that this was a... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our two nights at McCormick House, Picton. Our only "complaint" would be we would have preferred the bathroom - which was very modern and stylish - to have been separated from the bedroom by a soundproof door, and not just a fairly open, louvered door.
