This friendly and refurbished motel is located on the main street of Picton just a 1 minute walk from the waterfront. The new owners are doing an excellent job of renovating the place completely (only 5 more rooms to go when we visited early february 2012) and the new look is fresh, crisp and very clean.

My husband and I stayed for a night before heading out to the sounds. We were most impressed with the helpfulness of the host. The room had been recently refurbished to a high standard. The location was perfect, so close to cafe, restaurant and bars. Would definitely stay again. More

We spent 2 nights there. Actually we were referred by another motel owner, whose motel was full when we arrived quite late. Surprisingly, it's very centrally located and offered a very good price. The owner is very friendly and helpful in giving us all tourist information. Pls keep this up. We hope we can come back again! More

It was a... More

The room was well appointed, beautifully clean and decorated and the motel was central to everything being in the very heart of the city.

We booked this accommodation after the recent reviews on here for a weekend away from our home near Wellington, and weren't disappointed. The units are really comfortable, and well appointed. Can't say enough about the hosts, who were friendly and were more than happy to help. Will definitely stay here again when travelling through the area. Thanks again! More
