Nice motel
We only stayed here overnight, but the motel was easy to find, had parking (very steep and a bit tricky in parts, but close to units), had spacious rooms and a beautiful outlook from a patio overlooking Picton harbour. We checked in late and information about late check-in was emailed to us and easy to follow. When parking, despite being late, the manager came out and met us, asking if we were all good and assisting us with parking. The room itself was clean, comfortable and had a small kitchenette.

One night stay in Picton, just OK.
This stay was Ok. Even though it’s a motel I was expecting a little better from the reviews. The place is nicer than others because of the view, but the rooms are a little tired. There was no duvet cover on the comforter so not sure if they wash the whole comforter each time (doubtful). The shower was not great, shampoo bottles would slide off the shelves and crash on your feet while showering. The driveway is very unpleasant to roll larger suitcases up and down. We appreciated the laundry available for guests. This comment is not a knock on the motel- but Picton does not have many crosswalks for pedestrians so you either have to run across lanes of traffic or go pretty far out of your way in this section to find a proper crosswalk. Not fun when rolling large suitcases up and down hills to the ferry.

We had a lovely stay at Harbour View at the beginning and end of a walking trip to Queen Charlotte Sound. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The view from our first room was stunning and it was very convenient and walkable from the railway station, ferries and water taxis.

We stayed in a harbour view room with a balcony. The view was amazing. The room was spacious and well equipped. Check-in was very convenient at 1pm, as we arrived on the morning ferry from Wellington. Close to harbour, shops and restaurants. I would stay here again.
