We visited Tirimoana in August and were not disappointed by the weather, the views from the hot tub with a glass of champagne, and certainly not by the loveliest hosts. John and Michelle were attentive to our every need, a mine of information about local places to visit and things to do, and above all just the nicest people you... more

This is our third trip to NZ and were really amazed to find this lodge not truly in Picton, but positioned nicely across the road from a quiet harbor with lovely black swans swimming gracefully. Upon arrival we were pleased to see our own American Flag being flown along with the NZ flag as a jesture of hospitality from John.... more

This was our second visit to Tirimoana House our first visit was when we had walked the Queen Charlotte Track which ends about 1/2 mile away. In the 2 years since our first trip the owners had made some extensive renovations to the rooms (they all have ensuite now) and garden. We had rooms next to each other which although... more

We have stayed at a number of great B&Bs during our 5 weeks on New Zealand's south island. The Tirimoana House is tops. The setting is perfect watching the boats on the sound from your balcony. The location requires no driving to access the Queen Charlotte Track where you can walk for a day hike or get a boat taxi... more

My partner and I stayed here for five nights. His first time to NZ and my first time coming home to NZ from london in 5 years. We had the most amazing time at Tirimoana House and could not fault Michelle and John's hospitality. Our room was beautiful and we had amazing views out to the Bay and we loved... more

Stayed for 2 nights and greatly enjoyed our dinners with hosts and guests as we were travelling a deux and needed some different company. We took the water taxi so that we could walk the two ends of the Queen Charlotte Track; I would recommend Ship Cove in particular. The Pelorus suite was cosy and comfortable with great views and... more

We visited here at the end of a 2 week trip round the south island as we wanted some luxury and relaxation. The location is great right by the water with fantastic views. We stayed in the Pelorus room which had a great antique bed and you could step out onto a decked area with views to the water. There... more

We booked this B&B as the one weekend we had in a month long trip where we'd be alone (i.e. not with family) and were hugely looking forward to it. The B&B is next to the water but there is a road inbetween the road and the accomodation which is a shame. It feels as if there is an enormous... more

I chose this place because of the location. I wanted to stay in a nice quite place with a view of the Marlborough Sounds and as close as possible to the Charlotte track, even if we were not planning to do the whole track. We stayed at the Queen Charlotte room, which is quite big and beautiful styled! The big... more
