Charming waterfront and very child friendly.
Charming waterfront and very child friendly. The pirate boat play area and splash pad is so nice for the little ones. We only walked around the centre up to the walkway bridge which present a marvelous view. As we are not trekkers, we only passed by Picton to proceed to Nelson from Wellington, and as overnight stop for the Interisland ferry back. There were many road closures when we visited. Perhaps next time, we will explore the surrounds.

A lovely little town with some fabulous walks.
A lovely little town with some fabulous walks. Stay a couple of days after getting off the ferry instead of just driving through. ( Although a little busy when a cruise ship arrived in port, but they are not there every day!)

The ferries between the north and south island arrives/leaves from Picton. You can kayak, dine or hit the Queen Charlotte Track. The track is a total of 70km with accommodation along the way. The views are stunning, the track well maintained, the lodges comfortable and offering great meals.

Great place.
Great place. We stayed at Picton Campervan Park and it was a great walking distance to pubs and town. They have cabins that are absolutely spotless and so comfortable. The beach and foreshore are just alive with people, watching all the flash boats coming and going. Sitting on the veranda of the Waitoi Tavern, sheltered from the sun and enjoying conversation with friendly people travelling was just tops. And the meals at the Waitoi Tavern were value for money in comparison to the other pubs. Fish was so fresh! and plenty of it on the plate! We only stayed two nights, just wasn't long enough, already planning another trip!

Picton is the gateway to the Sounds.
Picton is the gateway to the Sounds. We were meeting our daughter and husband to make daytrips on their yacht to outer bays, sailing and fishing, but there are water taxis which will drop/collect to various bays for swimming and fishing. There are lovely walking tracks. Nice place to visit.
The people make this place, both young and older. I’m a 50yr old woman, and I felt like I was visiting old friends and staying in their home which was comfy, interesting and decorated all over. The amenities are basic but if you stayed in a hotel, you would miss the authentic experience of chatting with staff and travellers and hearing all the great stories and advice of the local area. Location was great and very central. I only stayed one night yet missed the people there!?
The hotel couldn't have been any closer to the Picton ferry port which was really great because we have quite a delay and docked just after 11pm, hotel was easy to fine and self book in was very easy, we used it as an overnight stay only but the village/town is close if staying longer. The owners were very friendly
Breakfast was very easy, the choice was scone or toast with butter and jam/marmalade with tea/coffee
Would definitely recommend to anyone travelling on the ferry
Amazing facilities in an old amazing kept accomodation, if you want something really cosy and fabulous while visiting Picton, this is the spot for you. Only one regret we have, that we stayed there only one night, it is really great and the family who is taking care of the property are doing a tremendous job, well done, this is the best way.
Unique alpine like house. Eva , the host was most welcoming. She was most helpful with our stay in Picton. We had the full use of her kitchen which was very handy for us as we were returning to Christchurch the next day. The bed was very comfortable and our stay with Eva was just about the best in a 16 day holiday in New Zealand.
View from our room and terrace was of Queen Charlotte Sound and the marina, absolutely beautiful! The hotel manager (assumed owner) was super friendly. Room was huge and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Location was a couple minute walk to restaurants, bars, and harbour.
We have stayed here before and we will stay every time we come through.
Motel and Owners and Cleaners are really friendly and that counts a lot.
To the people that look to stay in Picton
This is the place to come to close to everything
We will be back
Thank You

Eva is super friendly and helped me plan my trip around Picton. She gave me information on the water taxis and which track to hike. Eva recommended a very good wine to try! If you have questions or need help planning your trip around Picton, Eva is your person!
we paid for the best view of the Harbour and a lovely spa bath.
It was well worth it.
The view was amazing, spa bath very nice, bed comfortable, room very clean.
We really enjoyed our stay and our dinner in the hotel restaurant was awesome 😊
Very central. You can walk anywhere but then again Picton is a small town. They offer breakfast, it’s simple but it’s better than nothing. Very spacious. Nice backyard. I liked that my room (private room) had its own sink with warm water.
Warm welcome from the operators of this quaint B&B, and super comfy bed. The room had most things you would expect for an overnight stay. It is not a 5* hotel, so don't expect a hot breakfast or amenities like iron and ironing board!
The receptionist was brilliant at her job, very enthusiastic, helpful and entertaining. Its a pity that other receptoionists at other motels/hotels did not come accross as happy as she was
Great location very convenient for ferries etc. Beds were comfy, rooms a little tired & as we were in the front of the hotel a bit noisy with traffic in the early morning.
2 bathrooms!
Stunning views over the marina - can see ferries arriving and leaving
Very quiet
Heated towel rack
Within walking distance from Picton ferry and town centre
Room was large, location convenient and it was quiet. Beds were comfortable and hotel was clean. Staff were friendly, even though we arrived very late.
