Despite looking a little tired, a reasonable place to stay. Very convenient to all that Picton has to offer. Warm welcome, very accommodating when I asked for a later check out. Amenities sufficient for that type of motel.

Let the sun shine on!

Nice motel at a very reasonable price for one traveller. Restaurants very close at hand. Room had a wet room, always an advantage! Ferries to watch along with cruise liners plus the Marlborough vineyards just 30km away for tasting and dining
