2-Star Hotels in Picton

We been there on 30th-31st Dec 2021. The family room was horrible. Not up to our expectations which we find from the image provided on the website. I realize how different it is from image and reality. I was shocked but just for one night so I manage it by spending most of the time outside with my family. Positive note The owner of the property is very nice. She has a homely welcome attitude. She allowed us to keep our luggage for a reasonable time after checkout. Help us in making breakfast as well. The location is good. You can have 2 supermarkets within 200 meters and also one Indian restaurant.

I booked for 1 night and ended up staying 3 night. Top notch accommodation in one of their queen ensuite rooms - comfy bed with beautiful linen, an ever changing view of the harbour from my deck and everything was spotlessly clean. Hosts Barry and Nikki were very knowledgeable about Picton, transport and events; and very friendly too. Clean shared kitchen with huge fridges to store food. Free delicious home-made scones with butter and jam to boot. I liked the cats and a small dog that hung around - it all made Tombstone a very homely stay.

Off-street parking, clean bathrooms, comfy bed w/ clean sheets, cheerful paint and decor, good space heater, host very friendly and welcoming, nice indoor and outdoor common areas (though chairs/couches looks like they could use a cleaning). Carpet and baseboards in room rather dirty as well. Could just be consequence of weather/season/COVID, but overall the place felt a bit tired and bleak. Several other people staying here, but older and not especially social - almost feels like they live here and I'm intruding (which, fair enough - times have been hard for the tourism industry and locals alike - just FYI depending on your vibe preferences).

What a surprise, don't be fooled by the age of this motel, built in the 1960s and still going strong. For comfort, cleanliness and a very warm welcome from the owners. We were pleasantly surprised. This is a full equipt motel with all cooking appliances and this came in very handy when we have gifted a Cray Fish from one of the locals. Comfort is the rule here with great bathroom and toilet facilities in the room

The couple managing the motel were so lovely and kind. The motel was a great base for our week long family holiday around Marlborough, we were in the 2 bedroom unit which was set up well for our family with its own private fenced courtyard being a huge plus. A portacot and highchair was supplied for our youngest. Warm heaters in each room (which were used on a couple wet and cold days) the kitchen had everything we needed for cooking meals (there was also a BBQ in the courtyard we could have used). The children were also given some Easter treats on arrival. Parking is a little bit tight when busy but easy enough to reverse out as there's a large area on the side of the road to turn around. We loved our stay and will likely be back again 🙂

I stayed here two nights at the beginning and end of my queen charlotte walk. I stayed in the Pictonian room the first time - I came straight off the ferry to drop bags off - after messaging first - and still the lady was quite gruff about not checking in which was fine. The location is great as it is right in town. The room and house was clean and had all i needed. The shower was very old fashioned and small but fine for a night. At the end I had a cottage as I wanted a bath. I had to drag my case along a gravel driveway which is not ideal. The cottage was fine but has no heating or cooling and was quite hot. No screens on windows for bugs either. Very clean and comfortable bed. Breakfast is simple and a bit on the sweet side for me but more than adequate. I hardly saw any staff so no comment on friendliness really,

From the North Island to the South Island, the place to stay for the ferry is not far from the pier, the room is good, and everything is needed. picton is a port city, the hotel itself is clean, comfortable and quiet, very suitable for a rest night to continue on the road. Very recommended

We were very pleased with our stay at this motel, it was clean, warm and had everything we needed for our stay. The hosts were very friendly and helpful, it was a pleasure to stay with them and we will definitely be booking back in on our return to Picton. Thankyou very much Trish and Allan

The location of the motel is terrific. It’s on a tiny hill overlooking the harbour. If you are lucky and get the rooms upstairs, you really have a fantastic view day and night. The room itself is rather simple, but it does have a balcony with chairs and a table. Great for enjoying the view. But be prepared if you are driving there. The slope to the reception is steep and parking is very squeezy. Smaller cars would see an obvious advantage there.

Enjoyed cooked and continental breakfast.Lower part of shower curtains need bleaching cos yellowy coloured mould growing. Cigarettes butts on ground straight outside our front sliding balcony door! One darkhaired female pakeha housekeeper had an attitude by her body language...should leave that at home! Otherwise very helpful staff who treated us like they would like to be treated. No milk left in our room on arrival or daily supply. Our prepaid booking was for daily housekeeping.Overall comfortable stay...mattress ,pillows and bedding. Nice hot showers. Enjoyed using heated outdoor pool in all weather conditions. Socialising with some other guests. We want to return for a longer holiday! Thank you.
