Asked to get early breakfast as we were catching the early ferry to north island but they couldn’t accommodate. My partner left behind his earphones and they couldn’t send them to us even though we offered to pay a generous amount of money to cover costs plus some

A comfortable stay just for a night before catching the ferry. It is a short walk into Picton where there are eateries and bars. It was cheap and cheerful, and the gentleman on the desk was very friendly, welcoming and helpful. I only made coffee in the kitchen but it looked well stocked. The room itself was a little shabby and could do with a deep clean (carpet a bit stained, cobwebs in the corners), but bedding, toilet, shower etc were all clean, and the bed was comfortable, and the room cooled down pleasantly in the evening after a warm day. My only comment would be that my room smelled quite musty - perhaps it would benefit from a thorough airing out at some point!

The room was not clean. Huge stains in the sheets, either blood or semen. Bed felt really dirty. We bought our own linnen to be able to sleep. The shower, toilet and kitchen were fine. The sink however was dirty as hell. Would not recommend staying here.

As this accommodation was inexpensive we were pleasantly surprised by our nice room and the breakfast being included. We would recommend dinner at The Crow tavern.
