Enjoyed a lovely walk around Picton and along the coastline. Did a fabulous half day morning boat trip cruising around Charlotte Sound which was great, and ate dinner at the Oxley Hotel, also very good.

We loved the harbour views! There was also a good selection of cafes and restaurants, which all had friendly service and competitive pricing. We enjoyed our one-night stay and walked everywhere with ease.

Charming waterfront and very child friendly.
Charming waterfront and very child friendly. The pirate boat play area and splash pad is so nice for the little ones. We only walked around the centre up to the walkway bridge which present a marvelous view. As we are not trekkers, we only passed by Picton to proceed to Nelson from Wellington, and as overnight stop for the Interisland ferry back. There were many road closures when we visited. Perhaps next time, we will explore the surrounds.

A lovely little town with some fabulous walks.
A lovely little town with some fabulous walks. Stay a couple of days after getting off the ferry instead of just driving through. ( Although a little busy when a cruise ship arrived in port, but they are not there every day!)

we were only there overnight, we took an early morning Ferry. the motel was in a great location, we could walk around town and to our restaurant for an evening meal. the reception Lady was wonderfully helpful
he location of the hotel is excellent, but unfortunately, my experience there was terrible. Despite informing the hotel through Booking.com about our late arrival due to a ferry delay, no one was present to receive us upon our arrival. We found a notice outside the locked door with a contact number, but unfortunately, it was not reachable. As a result, my family and I were left stranded outside in the rain and cold weather. Despite my efforts to reach the hotel, I did not receive any notifications or messages from them at all.
The hotel couldn't have been any closer to the Picton ferry port which was really great because we have quite a delay and docked just after 11pm, hotel was easy to fine and self book in was very easy, we used it as an overnight stay only but the village/town is close if staying longer. The owners were very friendly
Breakfast was very easy, the choice was scone or toast with butter and jam/marmalade with tea/coffee
Would definitely recommend to anyone travelling on the ferry
Elizabeth, who looked after us, was fabulous and utterly charming - just like the hotel. The Luxury Room we stayed in was lovelier and bigger than expected, especially the bathroom. They brought us fresh croissants with jams and butter on one of the last mornings and they were incredible! The petit fours and wine on arrival also made us feel very special.
The staff was very welcoming. The room was neat and clean and perfect for a couple. Fresh and clean towels were also provided. There was free breakfast - bread, butter and jam. Coffee, tea and milk powder was also available. The other backpackers were also cool and friendly. Would recommend the place to anyone who would like to stay in picton.
Easily one of the best stays in our month long trip to New Zealand. Huge rooms, facilities better than any hotel we stayed in and hosts were so friendly. We wish we could have stayed longer as everything from comfort, facilities, location and amenities were top class. Barry really undersells himself and how great this stay is.
We have stayed here before and we will stay every time we come through.
Motel and Owners and Cleaners are really friendly and that counts a lot.
To the people that look to stay in Picton
This is the place to come to close to everything
We will be back
Thank You

The location is spot on, virtually waterfront and a room with a view. I love Picton and think its underrated. This motel is fine and reasonably priced for its facilities and convenience. Well functioning bathroom, extra pillows etc and comfortable.
Fantastic backpacker hostel if you are backpacking in New Zealand. Very cheap and you can meet a lot of people. Also a nice cosy place and the staff are very helpful. The selfmade free dessert on 7pm is a very sweet touch too.
This is our second stay. It’s a great backpackers motel, very clean, well equipped and organized, great value and a few minutes walk from the town and harbour.
Excellent location and friendly, helpful staff. The motel was perfect for my one night stay. The bed was very comfortable and everything was super clean.
The view from our room/balcony was superb, fantastic atmosphere. If we ever come back to Picton we will definitely want to return to Harbour View Hotel.
