Good space and location

Friendly staff. Good size room, plenty of space. There was an outside seating area at the back of the room. Close to the town and ferries but far enough out to be quiet. There was no where to put your own stuff in the shower and the shower pressure was lacking.

Great position, walking distance to town. Close to Picton Interislander. Old but nicely kept. Unfortunately the internet was the worst I’ve ever experienced. It was terrible. Don’t come here if you’ve work to do. It dropped out constantly, so frustrating, even at 4am it dropped out, it needs work and soon. So annoying.

Property is quite dated; stove was at least 50 years old I think. Had a bit of trouble getting the stove to work but finally got it working. Beds were comfortable. Property is very close to the ferry terminals so convenient. Was an ok option for 1 night.
