Pros:

I loved everything. So easy to find, I walked here from the senic coastal train stop. Near everything in Picton, I walked to the foreshore and a wonderful pub overlooking the water for dinner. Also.pppped into a chemist. It's beside a marina on one side. Very pretty. Friendly staff, had a big pool. Room was fantastic. Woke in the morning and saw my ferry waiting to go the Wellington. An exceptional staff. I chose well and will be back.

Cons:

It was a lovely stay.
