Picton overnight

Great location for the Picton to Wellington ferry. Very helpful service. The room was very old fashioned and dated and the bed was uncomfortable. Continental breakfast was excellent.

This place is cute and tucked away in the small town of Picton. Even though it is a port town for the ferry, it was super quiet. The views were gorgeous and the little cottage style flat was cozy. The only issue being that the sink in the bathroom leaked all night, and there was no fan available, but only a small mark off for those as it wasn't a huge problem. The owner was incredibly nice and hospitable. We would stay in this place again for certain!

Welcoming!

We stayed for a night only in this hotel not far from the ferry terminal. The host made a very good impression on us. We felt very welcomed and comfortable with this and also the apartment was pleasant and clean without luxuory. In sum, a nice place which we could recommend.

Beautiful house

Lovely stay at the newly renovated Mariners room. Was welcomed by Eden and provided a tour of the house and offered some wine. I was only passing through for a few hours before catching the ferry so did not have time for breakfast, but the common room looked very well presented. Everything was spotless. Would recommend if you need somewhere to stay in Picton.

Just minutes from the ferry and bus terminals, I was able to disembark from my ferry and walk to the Gables. My hostess upgraded me from a room in the main house to my own cabin out back and it was beautiful. The Andante Cottage was spotless and everything was new and lovingly care for. I would happily stay there again. My hostess brought a breakfast tray to my room, with more food than I could possibly eat in one sitting. Everything was delicious. As if all that weren't enough, my hostess transported my luggage to her workplace, which was across the street from the bus station, so I could spend the morning exploring the town before collecting my things from her and heading on.

No one available to meet us at the property - had to go to a nearby hotel to ring for someone to open up. No wardrobe or facility to hang clothes. No extra blanket. Two conditioners, no shampoo. Yard area very untidy. Lovely breakfast and welcoming glass of wine. Close to town, great location.
