"Loved the view from our room. As it is on a hill the parking was an adventure and the staff were very helpful. Loved that it was close to the town square and restaurants; we enjoyed our stay."

"Large bright room with nice view out front of boats in the bay. Clean and well equipped. Only stayed one night before the morning ferry but would stay here again if we were going to spend a few days in Picton."

Our room was exactly as advertised, clean, well appointed and had an incredible view. We requested a last minute early check in so we could make a local tour which was accommodated without charge. Definitely would stay here again!
