Nice guesthouse

Tracee was super helpful and we were able to drop off luggage early so we could go explore. Nice guesthouse, decent sized room and bathroom. Bed made noise every time you moved but otherwise it was a good stay.

The room is clean, well equipped and very comfortable. Tracey is an excellent host. We wanted to be close to the Interislander for an early start but traffic noise from the over-night arrivals and departures meant we didn’t sleep very well - it was warm and we had the windows open. Tracey did supply ear plugs but they didn’t quite do the job.

One night in Picton

We were greeted warmly, and the unit had everything we needed. Tracee even got out the table umbrella so we could have our lunch on the terrace. It was just a few minutes drive from the ferry terminal.

Good value for money. We stayed for two nights and it’s a lovely place with two beds and good TV choices with Netflix, YouTube, Prime. WiFi worked great. We walked to high street which is about 15-20 minutes. There are good choice of eateries. The place located near main road you will expect some noise during rush hours otherwise it’s quite, we both slept well.
