The room was acceptable; basic but could do with some updating and there was clutter behind a screen. The bed was quite comfortable

Very relaxing.
Kosei, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Breakfast is fine and clean and tidy and a budget friendly stay for travellers.
Alex, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This is more of a backpackers vibe. We booked a whole room for a family of 4 (it had 3 bunk beds and a queen bed). Continential breakfast is provided, abd while average , its not bad for budget accommodation. Edit picton is the other place we stayed that might be more suitable for families. This place wasnt bad either, probably lote suited to singles.

It was a good stay I loved it. I like how it's convenient to the bus depot and the ferry.

Wow. What a great establishment. The location is great everything well kept and clean. Felt safe and secure in the room. You have everything you need in the kitchen and in the bathrooms will definitely stay again if I am back in Picton. Thank you!
yasemin, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This place is a gem. Located across the street from Intercity bus, next door from the train station and 50m away from the ferry terminal, the location couldn't be better! There weren't a lot of people when I stayed and instead of cramming everyone in a single dorm, they let each guest have an entire dorm. I appreciated the gesture very much. Moreover they provide towels (not common in NZ unfortunately) and there is breakfast available and included. I highly recommend this place
Adrien, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Warm and friendly welcome. Offered choice of rooms. Modern spacious living rooms with nice deck and well equipped kitchen. Bathroom large and clean. Great location close to both ferries and a cross road from bus stop to Christchurch. 5 mins walk to high street with bars and restaurants and shops also close to marina
Matthew, 2-night trip

I had a really good night's sleep at The Boathouse Lodge. It's close to everything, and it was clean, quiet, and has good amenities. Recommended.
Stewart, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The room was in good condition, amenities ok and the people running the accommodation very friendly and easy to talk to. Unfortunately it wasn't very peaceful due to train and port noise also throughout the night and made it hard to sleep.
Elizabeth Cornelia, 2-night trip

Nice place, well kept and good service.
Matthew, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I needed a place to stay for a couple of hours and this location was perfect. The Intercity bus stop oblique opposite the hostel and the ferry terminal is next door. I booked the same day and the turn around response was exceptional and the self check in directions was easy to follow. The room was clean, the water power was strong and the kitchen was fully stock.
