We loved the harbour views!
We loved the harbour views! There was also a good selection of cafes and restaurants, which all had friendly service and competitive pricing. We enjoyed our one-night stay and walked everywhere with ease.

Charming waterfront and very child friendly.
Charming waterfront and very child friendly. The pirate boat play area and splash pad is so nice for the little ones. We only walked around the centre up to the walkway bridge which present a marvelous view. As we are not trekkers, we only passed by Picton to proceed to Nelson from Wellington, and as overnight stop for the Interisland ferry back. There were many road closures when we visited. Perhaps next time, we will explore the surrounds.

A lovely little town with some fabulous walks.
A lovely little town with some fabulous walks. Stay a couple of days after getting off the ferry instead of just driving through. ( Although a little busy when a cruise ship arrived in port, but they are not there every day!)

Great place.
Great place. We stayed at Picton Campervan Park and it was a great walking distance to pubs and town. They have cabins that are absolutely spotless and so comfortable. The beach and foreshore are just alive with people, watching all the flash boats coming and going. Sitting on the veranda of the Waitoi Tavern, sheltered from the sun and enjoying conversation with friendly people travelling was just tops. And the meals at the Waitoi Tavern were value for money in comparison to the other pubs. Fish was so fresh! and plenty of it on the plate! We only stayed two nights, just wasn't long enough, already planning another trip!
Easy to find, park right in front of the room. Friendly management/owners. Let us use the laundry for free. Room was cozy, clean and comfortable. Shower was great with lots of hot water. Actually one of the best hotels we have stayed at in 8 weeks traveling New Zealand. Table and chairs on the small porch if you care to sit outside. Short walk to the oldest pub in town which serves good pub food and specials every night. My go to hotel in Picton if we ever return!
Picton is very nice, a ferry port between the New Zealand North and South islands. The gateway to the South Island.
It was a panic booking due to other factors but by chance the apartment was free. Really would have liked to stay and have use of it for longer but life makes it's own design, it's own route like driving on a motorway without turnoffs!
Amazing facilities in an old amazing kept accomodation, if you want something really cosy and fabulous while visiting Picton, this is the spot for you. Only one regret we have, that we stayed there only one night, it is really great and the family who is taking care of the property are doing a tremendous job, well done, this is the best way.
We had a private apartment to ourselves. Robert and Lisa had a little fridge with water and milk as well as a kettle, microwave and coffee, tea, and fresh muffins for us.
Robert gave us great advice about where to go and eat in Picton. He was also kind enough to drive us and our luggage to the train station the next morning.
It was centrally located, easy to walk anywhere in town, clean and tidy, with a pleasant feel about it. Parking is pretty tight with bigger cars, but the host helped organise everyone in and out, working together so we could get to our ferry without stress. Would return to stay in Picton longer!
View from our room and terrace was of Queen Charlotte Sound and the marina, absolutely beautiful! The hotel manager (assumed owner) was super friendly. Room was huge and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Location was a couple minute walk to restaurants, bars, and harbour.
we paid for the best view of the Harbour and a lovely spa bath.
It was well worth it.
The view was amazing, spa bath very nice, bed comfortable, room very clean.
We really enjoyed our stay and our dinner in the hotel restaurant was awesome 😊
Basic comfortable motel close to the centre of Picton. 10 minutes’ walk from ferry terminal. Comfortable bed. Good Wi-Fi signal. Has the benefit of 2-ring hob for anyone wanting to cook. Close to shops, restaurants, ATM and supermarkets.
Pure luxury, the most beautiful apartment we had so far. Stunning views onto Picton and Queen Charlotte Sound. Lots of space, fully equipped kitchen. We especially enjoyed the evenings in front of the fireplace. Just like home.
Fantastic backpacker hostel if you are backpacking in New Zealand. Very cheap and you can meet a lot of people. Also a nice cosy place and the staff are very helpful. The selfmade free dessert on 7pm is a very sweet touch too.
Hotel for the most part is nice, room and bathroom were both very spacious, and it had a pool view. Comfy bed, and good location for the plug sockets by it.
