    Cute kind of old school feel in the house. Me and my friend felt like we were in a cute boarding house or something. Shared bathroom was fine- multiple toilets and showers.

    The location was perfect - close to ferry, waterfront, restaurants. I enjoyed having the pool to cool off in. I stayed in unit 1 - it was cosy and clean. Suited me perfectly for 3 nights. Good choice of TV channels. It is an older style unit...

    Excellent location close to shops, restaurants and the ferry. Coral was very friendly and helpful with suggestions for walks and dinner suggestions. This is an historic building, not a purpose built hotel, so don't expect a huge room but ours was...

    The staff were great; very nice people. The place was very quiet and had everything I needed. Not overly big but is not overly important.

Property info

Picton House B & B is a 1920's property that has been added too and altered over the years. It has some endearing features and some annoying ones such as the small ensuite bathrooms that people have left comments about. Please, if you need big bathrooms book somewhere else, as we can not provide them. It is also our family home, hence we like people to be comfortable so we DO NOT accept late check in times after 10pm (2200hrs) as this upsets our guests already staying.

Neighborhood info

We are 2 minutes walk to the water front and harbour which is a beautiful deep water port. Picton is a pretty, small sea side town which is a stunning area to explore if you are interested in walking tracks, kayaking, mountain biking, swimming with dolphins and boating.
