Large bright room with nice view out front of boats in the bay. Clean and well equipped. Only stayed one night before the morning ferry but would stay here again if we were going to spend a few days in Picton.

Lovely quiet Victorian living and a very easy walk to get into town. The owners are delightful and really want you to have a great stay. Room was spacious and comfortable and making our own breakfast when and how we wanted it worked surprisingly well. We very much enjoyed our two nights here and the overall uniqueness of this historic home. Would definitely come back again.

Our stay at this venue was fantastic! The cabins themselves were extremely charming - new construction with a great kitchenette, modern bathroom, comfortable beds. On the estate, there are sheep to watch and a common area for activities. Dave and Helen were such welcoming and helpful hosts! Their personal touches such as the freshly baked lemon loaf and recommendations to eat in town made the stay even enjoyable.

We stayed two nights. It is remote and only reached by 20 min water taxi or hiking. It is a lovely, picturesque setting in Queen Charlotte Track. People are very friendly and helpful, especially Bo at the desk. There are lots of trails to walk around with lots of unusual and comical sculptures. Kayaks and paddle boards are free to use. There is an underwater observatory. All in all, itās a fun, scenic place with good food and friendly service. The only food available is in the cafe. The lodge...

This motel is quite close to the Picton Ferry Terminal, maybe about 2 minutes by car. One would think that the traffic must be terrible but it is not the case. The street is quiet and another 2 minutes or so to the waterfront area where there are a lot of restaurants. There are also 2 supermarkets close by.
The room is a good size, with a kitchenette, equipped with hobs and microwave and toaster. Good supply of tea and coffee.
Free Wi-Fi of up to 1GB is available.
