We loved it at
Whatamonga Homestay. Colette made us so welcome and gave us fabulous
breakfasts. The chalet was well equiped and unsurpassable views.

Beautiful location with balcony overlooking the bay. Borrowed
the kayaks for a paddle. Apartment is lovely - real attention to
detail, we borrowed Colette'ss barbecue one evening.
Really enjoyed the personal touch with breakfast, the baked peaches
were fabulous. Really nice to talk to Colette over breakfast too.

We had a wonderful
time at Whatamonga Homestay. The owner Colette made us really feel
at home, provided a delicious breakfast and gave us tipps what to
see and do. We paddled around the bay by kayak and visited the
nearby vinyards at Marlborough. And in the evening we enjoyed a
glass of wine on the balcony overlooking the Sound.

We stayed at Whatamonga Homestay in late Feb 2017 and enjoyed
the great location and Colette's hospitality. The location on the
waterfront provided great views in a tranquil landscape. The
location is convenient for a trip into Picton whilst being outside
of town and in a coastal rural setting.
