The Boathouse Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Close Proximity from the Ferry Terminal, and short amble in to Picton Shopping Centre ~ Welcoming/Engaging Staff; Affordable/Essential only Accommodation, but catering for all one could ever need ~ Would not hesitate to stay again ..."

Tides Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Fabulous stay, thankyou!! Close to everything! Food in the restaurant was exceptional - breakfast & dinner 🍽 dinner...."

Jasmine Court Motel

8/10 Good

"We did tell them that the shower door was faulty. Otherwise good"

Palazzo Motor Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great"

The Hotel Nelson

8/10 Good

"While the property is well presented and the rooms and housekeeping very good, the same cannot be said about the staff. The front desk reception staff member spent over 10 minutes on a phone call before acknowledging my presence (and another guest checking in at the same time) and providing the room key. The staff in general around the property seem very ambivalent - customer service is certainly not part of their mantra."
