Great view of the marina and harbour entrance from the balcony. We had the 2 bedroom unit which was very spacious. Bedrooms were downstairs. Slightly dated furniture and bathroom but all clean and working. Easy 5 minute walk into the main town. I would stay again.

Wonderful location with a stunning view of the harbour and a lovely comfortable clean room. Lovely to have a balcony to sit out on and enjoy the views. Parking was a little tight, but I wouldn’t let that put me off staying again.

Great place to stay in Picton. Very clean with nice staff. The room had an awesome view with a balcony, and included a small kitchenette which was a nice surprise. As others have mentioned, parking is super tight, but we didn't have any problems with it. We would definitely stay here again!

The Harbour Hotel is lovely. The room that we stayed in was two floors and two bedrooms along with the kitchen and living area. The view from the balcony onto the harbor was fantastic. It is a quiet town with a grocery store nearby and several restaurants. Everything is easy to walk to and nice after a long ferry day. Would highly recommend!

The room was clean, the harbor view was incredible, and we watched a beautiful sunset over the mountains! The only thing to note, is it is on a steep hill which is a little tricky driving up to the hotel parking, so we parked on the street, which was fine.
