If you are nostalgic about the 1970s/1980s then this is the place for you! Cheap stop over motel if you are taking an early morning ferry out of Picton.

Very basic room with poor lighting. Lights by bed were set too low, hits your head. Other lighting barely improves your ability to see. Usual 'motel' vibe.

Stayed a night to catch the Ferry to Wellington. Room was very old, paper thin walls but big enough. Bathroom is out dated but for the price you can’t expect a five-star experience. Fine for a stopover, got a good night’s rest.

Absolute gem. I selected this motel because of the proximity to the Picton ferry since we had an early morning ferry. The room was clean, well maintained and had everything you'd need. Linens, bedding, towels and amenities within the motel were clean and lovely. The staff were polite and welcoming. The area is quiet and really comfortable. While we only stayed a night, would do it again without question. There was very convenient parking outside our room as well.

We only had a quick overnight. But the staff was most helpful in making us feel comfy. We arrived late due to a ferry malfunction so our stay was short. The staff helped us get to our car rental the next day which was appreciated since it was pouring rain.

We had a great overnight stay. Instructions were excellent, especially as we arrived at midnight after the ferry trip.The motel is off the main roads so very quiet. Our unit was so clean and modern and full of all necessities incl plunger coffee and biscuits! We highly recommend this motel and will book again!

Best heat controls on the shower we have had at any lodging! Homey motel, but had especially comfy chairs to lounge in. Owner was very helpful, and his cat looked like our Bandit, who we had for almost 20 years.
