We really enjoyed our stay at Escape to Picton. The welcome glass of wine and cheese was a lovely touch, and the staff were warm and welcoming. The room was spotless and very comfortable, the bathtub was a highlight, breakfast was very good, and the location was ideal. Would happily stay again.
A wonderfull traditional style small boutique hotel, with suberb service. The dinner was fabulous, as was the breakfast. Highly recommended for couples! We also loved the big bathtub:)
The suite was luxurious. The bar and restaurant were wonderful. What a surprise. Picton is a delightful town. The property is convenient when connecting to the InterIsland Ferry and/or the train.
The property is amazing. Definitely a good deal considering the price paid for the room. The breakfast is amazing. Definitely better than staying in some anonymous hotel/motel in the area. Staff super friendly and available.
Stayed in the Formal Suite. Beautifully appointed and all the little extras were fabulous such as a complimentary glass of wine which was much appreciated after four days of walking the Queen Charlotte track. Loved the bath and the bed was lovely and comfortable.
Simply great! A very charming and cozy accommodation in the city center. Spacious and clean rooms. An incredibly friendly and helpful host who makes this place very special. It was a perfect stay for us. Thank you very much!
This place is fancy. Lovely deep bathtub, a chandelier in the bedroom and the bathroom. I felt a bit like Marie Antoinette lazing about Versailles! Big sumptuous bed. I slept like a baby.

The room was clean, sizeable and the jetted spa bath absolutely superb. But that’s where it ends.
We stayed in what was called the “modern” suite, a kitsch and garishly designed suite that was a far cry from “modern” in today’s standards.
Where it really fell short was the experience and service. Originally opting for Sisu around the corner, we felt we should dine at the restaurant given we were staying as guests and that we could support this local establishment. We waited 1 hour and 15 minutes for our food to arrive.
Wonderful place to stay! Excellent restaurant, nice view. People are so polite and accommodate everything we ask. It was a real pleasure. Hope to come back one day.
Lovely spot for a night, unfortunately no food available and the bed cover looked like it needed a wash. However these small, host very welcoming and room lovely.
Overall this is a lovely hotel and restaurant. We stayed in the Sea Room which unfortunately I would not recommend. The room has no fan or aircon and it is quite stuffy. We opened the windows but the room is at street level so the pedestrians could see directly into our room. We closed the curtains for privacy but then the room had no fresh air as the curtains are heavy. Also, be warned that the bathroom only has a large tub. Its a lovely bath but you need to climb in and out to shower or bathe.
Charming hotel. Welcome drink and petit fours were lovely. Very welcoming host, excellent and knowledgeable. Grateful for early bag drop off. It is an old house so there are some creaky floor boards above if you are ground floor but not too much of an issue. Beautiful bath tub and lavender toiletries. Perfect location. I would recommend. Picton is beautiful.
