Hotel di Waikawa

"Beautiful surroundings, friendly staff, lovely clean cabins. "

"I had an amazing stay here during my five-week Oceania trip. My first night was unexpected—I needed an ambulance to the local hospital after a fall on the ferry—but the staff at Bay Vista were incredibly attentive throughout the whole ordeal. They checked on me during the ambulance visit and followed up the next day to make sure I was doing okay (four sutures along my hairline). A special shout-out to Maddie, who was exceptionally caring and checked on me several times. The location is...

"Beautiful location, lovely room, incredible food, excellent service. "

"The owners were very helpful and accommodating. "

"The staff were incredibly helpful. One of them, in Picton before we got on the ferry, told us how to see the bioluminescence, which was fantastic. The young man who took us around to feed the animals and the marine biologist who told us about the marine life on the viewing platform were incredibly knowledgable. The room was pretty and we had a good view if we sat outside. We also loved the hammocks and the glow worms."

"Nice staff! "

"Absolutely: well presented and clean, tidy, with a welcoming Manageress to add to the positives 🤓"

"Good kitchen staff but the room’s toilet was smelly. I vomited twice every time i went to the toilet, on the first night itself. The pungent smell was really strong. I called reception at 3 am wanted to change room but no one picked up. The next morning, i had to buy electric scented oil warmer to reduce the pungent smell. "

"Didn’t notice the views there was only 9 sheets of toilet paper so a little disappointed with that but the place was well presented and nice and comfortable "

"Wonderful hosts, charming place, gorgeous cottage, great location. We were sad to leave!"

"Clean, comfortable and very accommodating owners."

"Crisp white linens and towels, large rooms (2 bedroom, queen & two twins) living space and bath, great shower pressure, comfortable beds, pillows were a little thin, but serviceable. The motel accommodated a midnight arrival, no issues with getting access to our room. Staff friendly and helpful. "

"Great views"

"Clean room. "

"Really helpful, spotless units, easy check in. Couldn't have asked for more"

"Staff was helpful for check in even though it was late in the evening."

"The on-site manager was extremely helpful, and the house itself was comfortable with everything you could possibly need, a real home from home in a beautiful location."

"We really enjoyed our stay at Escape to Picton. The welcome glass of wine and cheese was a lovely touch, and the staff were warm and welcoming. The room was spotless and very comfortable, the bathtub was a highlight, breakfast was very good, and the location was ideal. Would happily stay again."
