Being a Picton local we figured it was time to do some of the things our guests get to enjoy while visiting our beautiful piece of paradise. So recently we went with E-Ko Tours out to Motuara Island 😃 What a wonderful experience, a fun filled morning out on the water, we saw different S**g Colonies, Hector Dolphins & Bottlenose Dolphins 🐬 We saw Seals playing in the sea together, awesome native birds and history on Motuara Island all while enjoying the company of our family & friends 🥰
We definitely recommend doing this trip when you book and stay at Garden View Cottages 😍

We have been working on our gardens and the rewards of planting so many natives, flowers and fruit trees is starting to pay off. Really proud of the hard work Max has put in to create our own wee paradise for our guests to wander around, enjoy and pick fruit & veggies when available 🌿🥰
