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

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!
