We spent a weekend at the runaway rooster and it far exceeded our expectations.
The room was beautiful, spacious and comfortable (the roost). The bed was ultra luxurious and comfortable and there was a small sitting area. There was also a small private balcony where we could grab a breath of fresh air. The bathroom was spotless and well equipped with lots of towels, a hair dryer and soap/shampoo/conditioner.
The house and yard were totally spectacular. There’s a great sitting room with a few games and big TV. The outside has multiple decks, sitting areas and fire pit. We were lucky enough to sit under the stars enjoying fireflies ! The yard had beautiful well kept gardens.
Our hosts were phenomenal. What a natural fit for the both of them! They had great advise on where to explore, they gave us a ton of free tasting cards for wineries, entrance passes for the sandbanks and were all around friendly.
The breakfast was AMAZING. It was 5 star, totally delicious, filling and almost exclusively locally sourced. Yumm yumm yumm. It was also really nice to meet the guests.
The house is located in a great spot. A few really great restaurants in walking distance and short drive to both Picton, the Sandbanks, and countless wineries/breweries.
We can’t wait to go back :)
