"Nice facility, though no beach but nice lawn overlooking the water. The area for on-top kayaking is very small.
- Skip the "happy hour" - no reduced prices and was not al all social the night I was there. They tried to pull me away from my lunch so they could sing the good-bye song, even though the couple and I weren't leaving for 2 hours... The hostel guests are physically separated from hotel guests for dinner, and since I was the only hostel guest, I sat by myself (while a large group was on the other side of the eating area), was served last and was still eating when entertainment started. I left without desert because I just wanted to get out of there!
+ The villagers who put on the show were very welcoming and must have worked hard to put on the show. Very good!"
"Beautiful clean and tidy room, great amenities, easy off street parking and close to the very centre of Picton, great price too for a 1 night stay, excellent all round."
"Everything was good except the outside plug to plug in fridge/ freezer did not work and the plug on the other side in the bedroom was also not working "
"What a wonderful getaway!! So much to do with the kayaks, dingy and water access right from the house! and the mean beach just a short walk away. The house was child friendly and the top deck all gated which made for a stress free time with out 1.5 year old. The pool table kept us well entertained, as did the board games and kids toys, and the kitchen was well equipped. Lots of different outdoor seating areas to catch wherever the sun is hitting the deck! And a very comfy bed!! We would love to stay here again, what a beautiful get away! Thanks to the Blacks"
Cozy retreat, accessible by road and water, with amazing views!
10/10 Excellent
"This place was so peaceful. Only a short walk through beautiful forest from the water to the house. The water was perfect for a peaceful swim. The outlook from the house was stunning. Coffee pod machine was much appreciated. The Billard table gave us much fun. Would have been nice to have stayed for much longer. The place was very clean and tidy."
