📍 25 Waikawa Road, Picton

"Stop over hotel in the way to the ferry. Overall it was great for what we needed."

Sennen House Boutique Accommodation ★★★★

📍 9 Oxford Street, Picton

"An excellent boutique experience. Sennen House has a story to tell, and it’s a beautiful place to discover it. Set in a quiet location, its grounds are fantastic, utilising every piece of space cleverly; the welcoming croquet set was a taste of what was to come. The room we stayed in was great. Nice views and good spaces. Having a separate living and dining area is always a bonus, but its well appointed kitchen with a coffee machine was an extra one! The little baking treats left each day were lovely touches and were enjoyed. It was lovely to organise and portion out our own breakfast each morning, and having ownership of this was a bonus. If we are lucky enough to visit Picton again, we would definitely make this venue our first choice."

Broadway Motel
9.3 (125 reviews)

Broadway Motel ★★★★

📍 113 High Street, Picton

"The next day, I took an early ferry from Picton to Wellington, so I arrived in Picton a day in advance. The hostess of the hotel was warm and friendly, and was willing to help. She didn't need to deposit any orders, passports, or credit cards. It was very simple and straightforward. The hotel is also in a good location, only 1 km from the check-in location at the pier and the road signs are eye-catching (Figures 8 and 9). It is diagonally opposite the supermarket and gas station 50 meters away. It is worth recommending."

Top of the Town ★★★★

📍 30 Wairau Road, Picton, New Zealand (entrance on Canterbury Street), Picton

"Facilities: The room was equipped with radiators and electric blankets. It was quite cold in New Zealand in mid-April, but these were sufficient. The room didn't have air conditioning, so it probably wouldn't be suitable for summer. There were several steps at the entrance, making it difficult to carry heavy luggage. A ramp would have been helpful. Cleanliness: The host kept the room very clean, and the bedding was very cozy. Environment: Parking is available in the yard if you drive. It's very close to the ferry terminal, only a 5-minute drive. Service: We arrived late, and the host, needing to rest early, left the light on in the hallway and locked the door. We didn't see the host the next morning because we had to take the ferry to Wellington. We were also in a rush and didn't have time to write a review in the guestbook. Overall, it was a very good experience."

Atlantis Backpackers
8.4 (22 reviews)

Atlantis Backpackers ★★★

📍 42 London Quay, Picton

"An impressive and vibrant , colourful backpacker hostel with a warm and genuinely heartfelt welcome. The hosts go above and beyond to make every guest feel comfortable and truly at home—they are simply wonderful. The location is fantastic, right by the harbor and the sea, and just a short walk from the ferry."

Escape to Picton Boutique Hotel Hotels in Picton

Escape to Picton Boutique Hotel

"Escape to Picton is a luxury hotel somewhat oddly located in the little town of Picton. We stayed in the Formal Suite and what you might want to know is that there is no fridge or A/C. We needed to leave the windows open for cool air and it was somewhat noisy for a bit. The other thing is that to eat in the restaurant, which has a really intriguing menu, you need to give 24 hours' notice so they can prepare all meals to order. We didn't know this and were unable to eat there. On the positive side the suite was very roomy and comfortable and the staff (which seemed to consist of one extremely energetic person) was first-rate."

The Gables B&B Hotels in Picton

The Gables B&B

"We stayed at The Gables for 2 nights before taking the ferry to the North Island Unfortunately after 2 weeks in the South Island this was the very worst accommodation of our trip so far. From the moment we arrived We and another couple of guests turned up at the same time shortly after 3 pm There was no one at the house and after a couple of phone calls (one incohérent) somebody eventually let us in to our rooms We had booked one of the cottages at the back which was probably our biggest mistake The cottage was shabby, kitchen cupboard in need of work, dirty (eg coffee granules all over one shelf), the kitchen was very poorly equipped (eg empty box of tea bags and no teaspoons), flies everywhere with no fly screen so we were unable to open the windows and as there is no air conditioning the room was very hot. Absolutely nowhere to put a suitcase other than the floor or sofa. Uncomfortable bed and thin pillows. The shower is extremely basic and a little grimy. Some very basic products just placed on the floor. No hooks either. There is a small untended garden at the front of the cottage. There are old bits of building equipment eg wheelbarrows strewn around. Parking could have been an issue as the details say only free on street parking is available We and the other couple parked at the back of the house where there was plenty of room to park although we had read that the host had previously objected to guests parking there. The wifi wouldn’t work for the first 24 hours although this was available on our second night The whole house, cottages, and outside areas are run down and very much past their best. The house is now bright blue and not as in the picture. Breakfast was pretty dismal. Squash not orange juice, ordinary sliced bread covered with a bit of cling film, various pots of vegemite, jam plonked in middle of the table. Everything self service. A couple of pain au chocolat were provided but no offer of an alternative. No hosting is going on at this unloved B and B. It is very much in need of a host who cares about the guests and what is required to run a good B and B Apparently the owner also runs the Escape to Picton boutique hotel and restaurant.Good luck"

Sennen House Boutique Accommodation ★★★★
"Sennen House is a beautiful, old home surrounded by a lovely garden on a quiet edge of the town of Picton. We very much enjoyed our room, our breakfast, the setting, and the peace and quiet. However, we are writing this review because of the extraordinary hospitality of the owners, Michelle and Stefan. Both went above and beyond the call of duty to assist us during our brief stay. Picton is a charming, waterside town, and it is the port of arrival for large ferry boats coming from Wellington and the North Island. We arrived on such a boat, but following our ships arrival at the Picton Ferry Terminal, we arrived at the baggage claim area only to discover that another passenger had walked off with our luggage. Michelle came to the terminal to greet us and to take us to her Bed & Breakfast even though we had not requested that, and Michelle then patiently waited with us at the Terminal until the wayward passenger with our luggage could be tracked down, and the luggage returned to us. Not only did Michelle support us throughout our mini-crisis, but because one of us had a severely sprained ankle, and we were traveling without a car, Stefan was kind enough to drive us to a restaurant for dinner, so we wouldn't have to walk. As if those extremely kind gestures weren't enough, Michelle even drove us on the day of our departure to the train depot. The owners had family visiting and many other time consuming responsibilities during our stay, so for them to so graciously accommodate us showed exceptional character and generosity. If Sennen House is within your means, we can't imagine why visitors to Picton would want to lodge with anyone else."

Broadway Motel ★★★★
"I thought it was pretty good. I think I booked an executive room, which had a balcony and plenty of hot water in the shower. It's located on a section of the main street. There aren't many travel guides for Picton online, so I scouted it out for you. This motel is next to a gas station and across the street from a large supermarket. The room has a kitchen. It's a 10-minute walk to the Intercity bus station, which is next to the train and ferry terminals, so it's really close. Also, the beach is less than a 10-minute walk from the hotel. There are various activities available for registration at the beach; you don't need to book online, just walk in and inquire—the price is the same. There's a Thai restaurant not far from the hotel. Picton is beautiful. We came here to take the train, and it's definitely worth it. This is a wine region; remember to buy a bottle and try it."

"Very clean and tidy small hotel with convenient parking. It only takes a few minutes to walk from the Picton Ferry Terminal. I regret not staying one more night because I was not familiar with it and did not have time to walk the nearby coastal greenway."

Harbour View Motel ★★★★
"The location of the hotel is very good. The balcony of the room has a direct view of the ferry and yacht harbor. The scenery is very good. The room is clean. The lady at the reception is very friendly and answers all questions. Parking is convenient, but the room facilities are a bit outdated."

"Incredible hospitality from the owner, Shearer and her husband. We were there on New Year's Eve and after we returned post the midnight fireworks, she laid on a spread and some drinks for all the guests. Beds were comfy and facilities were very good. Great stay and excellent value for money."
