Great Stay

Friendly hosts. Great room with all the amenities we needed. Large towels. Easy parking.
Grace, 1-night trip

Nice guesthouse

Tracee was super helpful and we were able to drop off luggage early so we could go explore. Nice guesthouse, decent sized room and bathroom. Bed made noise every time you moved but otherwise it was a good stay.
Elaine, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Comfy & clean, good location

We were passing through Picton stayed for one night only. The bedroom & bathroom were clean, no kitchen but there was a kettle etc, fridge & a microwave, did the job. The host was very friendly and helpful with information. The location was close, 5mns in a car, to the ferry and town, handy! I would recommend.

One night in Picton

We were greeted warmly, and the unit had everything we needed. Tracee even got out the table umbrella so we could have our lunch on the terrace. It was just a few minutes drive from the ferry terminal.

We liked everything! The accommodations were excellent, the location was wonderful, and our owner/hostess, Tracee, could not have been nicer. We would highly recommend a stay at Top of the Town.

Comfortable one night stay

Friendly and helpful host greeted us on arrival - we appreciated being able to check-in early. Room was very clean and in very good condition. We had a fridge in which to put a few perishable items we had, plus a kettle, tea, coffee and some milk pods. There's a microwave but no toaster or crockery or cutlery - limiting your breakfast options - or you eat out Spacious and spotlessly clean shower and toilet room. The bed was a good size but a bit too firm for our liking - may well suit others. One chair, so someone sits on the bed. The property sits on a road leading to the ferry terminals, so there seems to be traffic at all times - although we didn't find it disturbed us. Picton centre (shops, restaurants, etc.) and the waterfront is about a 20 minute walk away. There's parking on-site. We found it a good place to stay for our one night ahead of a ferry crossing to Wellington.
