Picton ferry stopover

Very conveniently located to the ferry terminal and minutes away from the harbour area. The staff was friendly and more than willing to supply what we needed. Room was large and sufficient, a bit outdated but worked for our needs.

Clean and comfortable.

Comfortable, clean and quiet. We had stayed elsewhere on the main rd into Picton previously and it was extremely noisy. An older style motel, but freshened up and bathroom renovated. Great cooking facilities, if required.
