A Many-Pillowed Sleep

Picton. April 2009. Ajr

Half the fun of updating Frommers New Zealand every two years is discovering new and luscious places to rest my weary head. This was one of them - the very luscious Escape to Picton in....yes, you guessed it....Picton! And as you can see, I was spoiled for choice in the pillow department. www.escapetopicton.co.nz

Escape to Picton

The Sea Room

The Formal Suite April 2009 Ajr

This is where I’m resting my weary head tonight – in one of the gorgeous suites at Escape to Picton – a divine hideout right in the centre of this quaint little portside town. This glamorous little boutique hotel – just three big guest suites – is the work of Killian and Juliearne Kavanagh. It’s one of many properties they've renovated and this one – in one of the town’s old bank buildings – is a real winner. Totally gorgeous and even better, there’s a romantic little restaurant and bar downstairs….which is where I’m heading right now! www.escapetopicton.com
