Picton Beachcomber Inn

10/10 Excellent
"I had x2 stays at the Inn while travelling up north then back home. Heater on when I arrived in late, the room very clean, a quick trip to the ferry terminal. Staff easy to chat with on the phone. I’d definitely stay again , parking available and they have a restaurant( can’t comment on this as I travelled too late at night to use this facility) It’s a very comfortable place to stay!"
