Very friendly staff. Close to ferry terminal. Generally clean and tidy, but there was some mould on window frames in the bedrooms. This was a stand-alone family unit that had good facilities for a family of 5 or 6.

Let the sun shine on!
Nice motel at a very reasonable price for one traveller. Restaurants very close at hand. Room had a wet room, always an advantage! Ferries to watch along with cruise liners plus the Marlborough vineyards just 30km away for tasting and dining

The loft was a nice feature for families. The only reason for not getting five stars was a bit of a musty smell. Convenient walk to restaurants and a grocery.

Ideal to catch ferry to Wellington. Very nice couple, allowed us to check in very early as room ready, no extracost. Very spacious - supermarket and eateries close by. Pretty harbour area.

Considering this is a small town, i knew options would be limited, with that being said. The check in process did not make me feel safe at all. The keys were already on the doors and the doors themselves didnt lock well.
To check in or ask them a question i had to always look for the staff, yes they had a phone but it was almost as if you were bugging them.
The rooms themseleves were clean, big and not too run down. I just did not feel safe with the way the main dooor locked.

Comfortable and homely
I spent just two nights in Picton; and it was great. Although, a bit of a walk from where I needed to be, the staff was friendly and helpful. The room was warm, comfortable and had anything I could need and more!
