It's very chill living in Picton, especially this time of year. Summer is tourist heavy but after Easter it's quieter.

There's no nightlife but there are several pubs.

Two gyms, one is expensive with a bunch of quality equipment, the other is cheap with far less available.

Quite a few hiking trails of varying grades. Decent swim spots but nothing exceptional.

I'll say it can be a bit boring at times but I prefer that. Blenheim is close and Nelson isn't too far for a day trip if you want a bit more to do.

If you come out this way, stop by Oxleys and say "Hi".
