Owl’s Rest is in a very peaceful spot wished we could have stayed longer. Our hosts Jill and Peter were delightful and very welcoming. The only drawback was we didn’t realise quite how far it was from Picton.

a break away

We loved this property. It is in a rural setting and close to the sounds for exploring. The studio room was very cutely furbished and had everything we needed. It was spotlessly clean. We also enjoyed meeting Jill and Pete.

Friendly and Quirky

Our overwhelming delight was the help that Peter gave us in taking our bikes off the carrier and later putting them back on again when we left. Despite being attached to their home we hardly aware of the presence of Jill and Peter - very relaxing. We enjoyed the presence of owls everywhere we looked in the room.

Great spot at the end of the Queen Charlotte Sound. Clean unitt and very peaceful.

We have thought about how to best review this property. We were concerned to see a All Welcome Vaxed and Unvaxed sign from the Freedom of Rights Coalition on the front door. Had we known that before booking we would of chosen not to stay at this accommodation as even though we are fully vaccinated against Covid-19 I have a health condition that makes me vulnerable to serious illness should I get Covid. Also the teas and chocolates provided were 5 years past their best by date. Fortunately we had taken our own supplies.. Although it's a great location we would not stay there again.
