The room is clean, well equipped and very comfortable. Tracey is an excellent host. We wanted to be close to the Interislander for an early start but traffic noise from the over-night arrivals and departures meant we didn’t sleep very well - it was warm and we had the windows open. Tracey did supply ear plugs but they didn’t quite do the job.

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.

Good value for money. We stayed for two nights and it’s a lovely place with two beds and good TV choices with Netflix, YouTube, Prime. WiFi worked great. We walked to high street which is about 15-20 minutes. There are good choice of eateries. The place located near main road you will expect some noise during rush hours otherwise it’s quite, we both slept well.

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.

Nice room and a great host but the proximity to a major road from the port meant sleeping was impossible! All night the room shook and vibrated from heavy goods vehicles, we got absolutely no sleep.
