    It was most unfortunate we left on an early ferry so we couldn’t have the breakfast. Very comfy bed and great showers and kitchen

    Good cooking facilities and a lovely outside space to eat in. The scones for breakfast were yum. We enjoyed the spa and the table tennis. The staff were all really helpful. Recommend if you need a nights stay in Picton.

    Easy check in lovely clean rooms and shared areas. good management of social areas so guests would not be disturbed. Just wish we had more than one night to enjoy the facilities. The warm fresh scones for breakfast were a nice touch.

    Excellent location for our early morning ferry to North Island. We stayed in a motel room which had the shower and toilet at the entrance with sink in bedroom, it worked well for our overnight stay. Great shared facilities including large fridge...

    Very lovely and intricate motel. Being next to the Picton Harbour and a cemetery, we didn't have high expectations, but the owners have really managed to turn this into a small oasis of relaxation. Facilities were high quality and very clean.
