Edit Picton enjoys a fantastic location close to Picton central and the harbour, making it perfect for catching the ferry to Wellington. Guests often appreciate the spacious rooms and comfortable beds, with some rooms also featuring lovely harbour views; the swimming pool is a practical amenity for many. While the continental breakfast spread is considered the best some have seen, a few guests have noted that breakfast options could be limited.
