An outstanding property—we absolutely loved our stay. Michelle, Stefan (and Harvey) are exceptional hosts!! Our room, the James Cook Apartment, was spacious, spotless, and beautifully decorated, and the grounds are simply stunning. The location is perfect, with an easy 15-minute walk to the main street. Breakfast was delicious and a real highlight. We can't wait to return!

We had a lovely stay at Sennen House. From the moment we arrived, Michelle and Stefan were exceptional hosts- so welcoming, friendly, and helpful with local tips. We stayed in the Sir Joseph Banks room and immediately felt at home. The luxury linens and soaps, comfortable bed, fresh flowers, and daily baking were such thoughtful touches and made our stay feel extra special. Each morning we enjoyed a generous continental breakfast with eggs, bread, cereals, fresh fruit, and yogurt. We loved spending time on the balcony over looking the beautiful gardens.The location is ideal, with an easy walk into Picton for great restaurants and shops, and close to scenic hikes and local attractions. Sennen House is a charming, relaxing retreat and a place we would happily stay again.
