Fabulous view over the bay and to the mountains beyond. Quiet location a 5 min drive from Picton centre. Our room (no.3) was immaculately clean and had everything we needed. Rachel and her staff are great - we were given a warm welcome on arrival and they were helpful throughout our stay.

Wonderful place! Super clean & comfy with all the amenities you could want. Gorgeous view & extremely helpful staff. Did laundry on site & got takeout food from nearby so we could eat on the outdoor porch with great views. Even better than the pics online. Highly recommend!!

The property setting is incredible! Really hard to beat. Individual patios lead to waterfront where boats are moored. Hills beyond with easily reachable moderate hike of Snout's Track. Park at the Snout's Track Carpark and walk 40 mins to Queen Charlotte View. Modern rooms. Laundry very convenient. Owner Rachel is very helpful and upbeat! Town less than 5 mins drive.

Stunningly beautiful veiw from the room. If you love sailboats in the harbor and ducks on your lawn you will love this place. Amazing value for a little piece of Paradise. We will stay a week next time.

Rachel and her family took great care of us. We could have stayed longer as this was a great base from which to explore Picton and the surrounding area,

Beautifully situated overlooking the marina. Spotlessly clean and well-equipped with easy parking. Short drive to Picton centre or a walk to the local restaurant/pub to eat.

This is a great location and away from the main part of town yet very accessible. Self contained so option to self cater or eat out - or do both. Great walks short and long from this location and the views are forever changing.

The motel was very nice, with rooms opening to a nice lawn with a view of the bay. I have to mention the care and honesty of the staff if this family-run motel. We forgot a piece of jewelry behind and they made sure we got it back via post.
