Arrived late off the ferry and it was great to be able to check in quickly and get into my unit. Chilly but the aircon worked well once I figured it out. A good nights sleep.

The unit is spacious and nicely decorated. The interior doesnt smell as fresh as it could. Its dark inside. The fridge is so small and low we need to be on our knees to access it. There are no towel rails. No power point in the bathroom for toothbrush or blow dryer. Single glazed only so noisy.

Picton ferry stopover

Very conveniently located to the ferry terminal and minutes away from the harbour area. The staff was friendly and more than willing to supply what we needed. Room was large and sufficient, a bit outdated but worked for our needs.

Clean and comfortable.

Comfortable, clean and quiet. We had stayed elsewhere on the main rd into Picton previously and it was extremely noisy. An older style motel, but freshened up and bathroom renovated. Great cooking facilities, if required.

I thought it was going to be within view of the waterfront. However the true motel had good parking, the beds were fine, and the small kitchenette met our needs for 1 nite. The back patio was nice, and quiet with a hedge that hid the road behind. We stayed the night before taking the ferry to Wellington the next day. A plus was the little milk bottle for breakfast.
