Discover an unparalleled retreat in Picton with breathtaking views that are simply unforgettable. After a lot of dedication and effort, we’re thrilled to share Firkins Retreat with you.

Please follow safety guidelines when visiting this area. Other Things to Note The retreat is accessible only on foot via landscaped steps, stairs, and boardwalks. There are approximately 32 steps from the street to the main deck, with handrails provided where needed. The journey through the trees and ferns is enchanting, especially at night with colorful LED lighting guiding your way.

Hi there, I'm Brad. I'm passionate about helping people and ensuring they have a great time. Love to meet new people and hear about their journey. I call Christchurch home but float between Chch and Picton on a week to week basis. Love the Marlborough Sounds and all it has to offer.
