Picton hotels

Pros: Right on the lake, great view from the living area and veranda Seperate bedrooms (master and room with 2 single beds) Kitchen and lounge area Reception very helpful The ducks were very friendly, really nice peaceful location

Cons: A few kilometres to get into town, but the scenery was worth the trade off

Pros: We loved this place. Huge lawn are up to the shore line. Lots of sea birds and stunning view. The hosted was great. Highly recommended!

Pros: The place is only 10 minutes drive from Picton, a few blocks from the Waikawa Bay water front, and only a couple of kilometres from the Waikawa Bay marina where there are a few restaurants. The kitchen is well appointed, great electric cooktop and big oven. Tea bags and instant coffee sachets are supplied, and there's a coffee plunger but no coffee grounds.

Cons: While the Motel itself is right on the waterfront, our accommodation, a 4 bedroom, two story house, was actually a few blocks back from the water, so while the place itself was fine, it only has obscured water views from upstairs. The dishwasher was not in a suitable functioning condition, the trays being partly held together, ineffectively so, with cable ties. If you are planning on using the kitchen facilities, I suggest confirming that it has been repaired or replaced. Our visit was in November, so was the weather was very mild, but the main heating is a combustion fire place (with kindling provided, but no other firewood) in the downstairs lounge, which I expect would have heated the living areas suitably - and obviously created a lovely ambience. We weren't staying long enough to warrant starting and maintaining a fire though, and the only other heating was a couple of electric bar heaters, that I don't think would be suitable for children, the elderly, or the visually challenged. All beds did have electric blankets though. Fresh towels were dropped into the laundry for the second day we were there, but there was no "service" (beds being made, bathroom and kitchen cleaned, etc) as such. There was also a per person premium for more than four guests, which was advised after booking, which seemed strange for booking "the whole house", but can probably be justified with the addition laundry.

Pros: Everything, the place was magnificent. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean and comfortable with a great view.

Cons: There was nothing we didn't like.

Pros: The host Liz was great. Very kind and helpful

Pros: Lovely staff. Very welcoming and friendly. Excellent parking so close to door of unit. Nice to have a carport to park under, away from hot sun. Small bedroom with queen bed and side cabinets only, but reasonable sized wardrobe. Bed in lounge had a great view of the bay! Very quiet too. Only six units in complex.

Cons: Small bathroom but very good sized shower. Privacy in bedroom was a little compromised if anyone walked past the window when curtains were open. Would have enjoyed a shade option on open deck - but only because the weather was so good while we were staying! Otherwise everything was pretty near perfect for what we needed.

Pros: Excellent receptionist apologies can’t recall name Excellent view from windows Very clean and comfortable. Good shower

Cons: Not a problem for us . There was nothing we didn’t like but some may think too far from town centre The fact we could only stay one night !

Pros: Wonderful location, fabulous outlook from room.

Cons: Everything was great!

Pros: Fresh paint on the walls, nice blue color. Great breakfast take away. Garage to dry our stuff.

Pros: Janet and Anchor Down pleasantly exceeded my expectations. We were welcomed by Janet with a wealth of local tips and advice, a handy map (and on-site parking). The room itself was lovely, with no touch unnoticed by the hosts. The design was very nice with extras like a luggage stand leaving us wanting for nothing. We really enjoyed the glorious mattress. The B&B is in the centre of Picton and it's very easy to walk through the town from here. It was also nice to have a private entrance and our own bathroom – our room had a toilet separate from the shower room, which was very handy. Janet was probably one of the best B&B hosts I've had. She put so much care into her rooms and her guests as well as catering for dietary needs. She went out of her way to make sure we were cared for and that our stay was pleasant. It was also nice chatting with other guests around the breakfast table.

Pros: Fabulous breakfasts. Great hosts, friendly and new area very well

Pros: Lovely room, cooked breakfast which was different each day. Our hosts, Ian & Janet, couldn't do enough to make our stay memorable. And the internet was also perfect - video quality excellent. Definately the place to stay in Picton.

They normally close by9pm but for their kindness they waited me until I arrived about 11pm. When I enter the room I was shocked.

I never had that great Service. I will take my wife and kids next time. And recommend to all my friends. Thank you so much Escape To Picton Boutique Hotel!

Pros: Escape to Picton Boutique Hotel is a very nice renovation and use of an old building in the heart of Picton. The rooms are lovingly redecorated to an olde world theme. The staff were very friendly and caring.

Cons: The rooms have no air conditioning which meant having the window open and letting in bugs or strong winds (or both). It would probably be very cosy in winter. There was no refrigerator in the room nor an in-room safe. The bed, while big, was not all that comfortable.

Pros: Centrally located, friendly staff, great restaurant. I had mussels, kingfish and pavlova, could not fault. Bed comfy.

Cons: Bathroom on basic level does not have shower, only bath. Breakfast a bit light

Cons: A fridge would be useful in the room as we bought a bottle of wine at Brancott earlier that day and it would have been nice to have it on the deck.

The French style room was beautifully decorated. The restaurant meals were amazing, make sure you try their signature dish the baked avocado.

Cons: Nothing to dislike.

We felt warm and cosy and had an amazing view from our room.

Pros: Shower room was really good. Good choice at breakfast. Fabulous view from room.

Cons: Would have preferred the owners to have breakfast with us rather than just watching

Pros: The couple running the B&B were very friendly and provided great conversation during our breakfast. They were very kind to our late arrival and welcomed us as we drove up. The room had a amazing bathroom with heated floors, and a separate shower and bathtub. Quite unexpected for a room in B&B! There were two lovely sheep in the yard that we could see from our room window.

Pros: Absolutely lovely property and hosts

Cons: N/A

Pros: Wonderful host and a really friendly relaxed environment. The complementary free breakfast was amazing with slow cooked porridge and freshly baked vegan muffins (new recipe) that were super tasty. There also free snacks provided in the evening.

Pros: The porridge the lady prepared for us in the morning. Really tasty. Because there is on big table and the kitchen is relatively small it felt like a huge family with the other backpackers.

Pros: super friendly owner great breakfest with porridge, toast and homemade muffins clean showers

Pros: Felt more like a hotel than a hostel - Impeccably clean (inc beautifully fresh smell!) - Most cosy bedding/duvet - Well equipped kitchen with free tea/coffee/milk - The most delicious slow cooked oats for breakfast (with more cereal and toast options if you wanted more) - Lovely friendly welcome and goodbye Thanks so much for making my stay in Picton so enjoyable! You put a smile of my face and made me feel so wonderfully at home :)

Cons: The only thing I’d suggest is moving the placement of the sofas in the corridors that are currently opposite some of the rooms to be opposite the kitchen/elsewhere - as a few guests chose to socialise on these at night rather than the two cosy communal/living areas, which is noisy for those in the rooms trying to sleep.

Pros: Great facilities and breakfast

Cons: The whole set up was great

Pros: Great place to stay, really cozy and clean

Pros: Excellent breakfast with cereal, toast, tea/coffee and slow-cooked porridge, plus fresh-baked muffins. Rooms good size and comfy - mine also had a sink with mirror which was handy to brush teeth without taking up a bathroom. Shower pressure good, plenty hot water. Comfy lounge and TV room, plus some extra couches at the back of the building. Very relaxed, comfy, homely atmosphere. Staff all v friendly. Wifi was good. Central to Picton - although town is small so most places are central! There are some pet cats and birds - although I guess this could be an issue if guests have allergies.

Cons: Nothing obvious needing any improvement.

Pros: Clean room&comfortable bed

Cons: Small

Pros: Very accommodating with late checkin!

Pros: Very comfortable bed, so handy to town, everything lovely and clean, really friendly welcome and they changed things around so we could get a room early.

Cons: Can’t think of anything.

Pros: The location of the property was good, set at the top of town with just a short walk to the seafront.

Cons: The bathroom is probably about due for a refit. It felt a little dated, and whilst the sanitary wear was clean, the roller blind on the window of the bathroom was mouldy.

Pros: Room was well equipped and spotless. I had to switch to a very late arrival which was not a problem at all. I would highly recommend to friends and family.

Cons: Noisey rude guests leaving at 5am with no respect for other guests. Not at all a fault of the motels but very annoying when you had come off the midnight ferry.

Pros: Proximity to town was great Room was very clean and well maintained Friendly staff

Pros: Great accomodation. Great location.

Cons: Nothing I didnt like

Pros: The owners were so friendly and welcoming. Whilst there wasn't a full kitchenette in the room, it sufficed for our needs. The motel was close to loads of restaurants and cafes and suited our needs re getting the ferry perfectly. It was spotlessly clean, welcoming and great value for money

Pros: Check in seamless. Arrived later than expected and that was not an issue. Rooms small but cozy. Located in the heart of this small town. Quaint place. Not 5 star material but excellent overall

Pros: Newly renovated, super clean and great location. Friendly staff and owners.

Cons: Door and window facing carpark, hence can be a little noisy. Didn't bother us too much as we are early risers.

Pros: From the street, it looks like a basic urban motel, but this first impression is deceiving. First, I was welcome as if I was a real guest, not just a customer. The managers are very friendly, and have plenty of attentions for their guests. The room (or rather suite) had everything you could possibly need (except maybe a true table/desk but I didn't need it since I wasn't travelling for work), and the bed was exceptional. Plus the location couldn't be more convenient and central.

Cons: There was a slight issue with properly adjusting the water temperature of the shower. The walls/windows are not soundproof (but people tend to sleep early there and it was very quiet after 9).

Pros: Great location, great room nice and tidy and absolutely lovely staff, very welcoming, helpful and friendly!!

Cons: N/A

Pros: Location was great on the main street. Owner very friendly and helpful. The room ( small studio) was adequate for a one night stay and was clean, comfortable and value for money

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Comfy clean and close to everything.
