    • What a gem of a place and lovely owner. Quiet and an easy walk to the waterside. We stayed for one night before taking the ferry from Picton to Wellington.
    • The owner was very friendly and helpful. The kitchen was well appointed, and I especially loved the dinner set. The bed was comfy. The bathroom was clean.
    • It's 60s style reminded us of our youth and home Comfortable and plenty of space indoors. There are two outdoor seating areas and a car park at the door. Motel is close to the beach and we felt very welcome by the friendly owners.

    Very warm welcome, theres only 4-5 unites, ours was spotless, quaint details, and very comfy beds, would definitely reccommend.

    7TroyPosted on: 2-27-2025

    Room was comfortable. The location is great if you are on vacation. We only stayed one night, so location was not a priority for us. The host was amazing.

    Ben was a little soft for my liking, but that is my only issue.

    10LillianPosted on: 2-25-2025

    The location; close to Picton, across the road from the beach and near the marina.

    7CorneliaPosted on: 2-24-2025

    Great location, nice and clean

    Slight sewer smell?

    10LeilaPosted on: 2-21-2025

    The location was perfect for us. Needed to take the ferry over from Picton. Close to the beach and a local restaurant we walked to. Check In was a breeze. Nice shower, bathroom, kitchen and always appreciate milk from local dairy farms. There were two beds in living room, I took one twin and slept well. The owner was so pleasant and lovely.

    7KimPosted on: 2-19-2025

    nice location, very lovely motel reception lady who showed us our room

    pretty old looking place was a bit surprised when we arrived

    8Susan &. R.Posted on: 2-18-2025

    Convenient location and Motel room was very clean. The owners were very nice.

    I wish we had more of a view from our room, but you could walk across the street to the beach area which was nice. We only stayed one night so it was a quick trip.

    7CarlenePosted on: 2-9-2025

    Owner was a beautiful lady, very friendly and welcoming. The room was big with everything you need, stove, fridge, just like a home, very homely like your nans place. Handy to swimming across the road where there is a bbq handy as well.

    Bit old fashioned, bit costly for a night and not close to town. Not much food options close by so it is a short drive to town if you want to go out for a meal.

    9PeterPosted on: 2-4-2025

    Friendly, welcoming host, generously-sized unit, a quirky mixture of old and new - which we loved. Overall a delight and a lovely stay. It was good to explore this little area outside of Picton.

    8AnnePosted on: 2-1-2025

    Quiet

    Long way from restaurants and supermarkets Room a bit musty

    10JamesPosted on: 1-16-2025

    Good location and very friendly staff - met me at midnight when I arrived.

    Could feel the springs in the single bed, but otherwise perfect for what I needed

    8StevenPosted on: 1-16-2025

    Location was lovely just outside picton - host was very welcoming. Gave us some milk for a coffee - lovely touch.

    There was no local shop for anything extra- had to drive to picton.
