🇳🇿 Where is This Peaceful Little Town? - Picton

📍 Must-Visit Spots ✨ Nelson Square: A memorial bench glimmers under the trees. ⛰️ Tirohanga Track: Hike to Tirohanga Hill Top for panoramic harbor views (26 Newgate St). 🏡 Storybook Houses: Quaint homes straight out of a painting. 🥧 Picton Village Bakery: Try their pies—local birds will fearlessly snack from your hand! 🐦 🚪 Memorial Arch: Overlooking the harbor (24 London Quay). ⛴️ Ferry Magic with Interislander 10th-deck views of Marlborough Sounds + occasional seal sightings! 🦭 🌿 Why I Fell for Picton Warm locals: A grandma pointed me to the hidden hill trail! Slow living: Ducks waddling on the grass, elders tending gardens... pure serenity. My verdict: The South Island’s coziest gem. ⚠️ Tips ✔️ Visit on sunny days (rain dulls the magic). ✔️ Stay 1-2 days (or longer for a "retirement vibe"). ✔️ Hike with a buddy—trails are narrow! #PictonNZ #SlowTravel #NZSouthIsland #HiddenGems
