Well we have now found our new " go to" in Picton. Friendly service for check in and a lovely warm clean comfortable room. The bed was very comfortable and the room big enough to eat our dinner at a table and have separate chairs for watching TV. The location is fabulous, an easy walk to anywhere in town but very quiet also. We will definitely stay here again

It is just a basic motel with good space and two spare beds in the mezzanine. A good central location. As we were in an upstairs unit it would have been good to have an outside light as it was close to unsafe on the stairs at night. A couple of biscuits would be appreciated on arrival to go with the coffee.
