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.

Despite looking a little tired, a reasonable place to stay. Very convenient to all that Picton has to offer. Warm welcome, very accommodating when I asked for a later check out. Amenities sufficient for that type of motel.
