Beachcomber Inn Picton Reviews

In order to catch the ferry to North Island the next morning, I chose this hotel, which is a five-minute drive from the ferry meeting point.

The hotel is in a good location, the room has a sea view, and the lady at the reception is very warm and thoughtful. Staying here for one night is mainly because it is convenient to take a boat to North Island early the next morning.

I enjoyed my stay, perfect for. a great night out, without the hassle of timing, to link up to the ferry

Facility was a nice surprise, restaurant a-top the hotel was probably our best meal in Picton and Carol at check-in was especially helpful.

On arrival receptionist told us about restaurant and need to book etc. On checking into room there was a note "your room will not be serviced during your stay." Paying over NZ$300 per night would have expected room to be serviced. Motel is a bit tired with no air conditioning and a balcony which was not private. Did not enjoy the cigarette smell from room next door. Booked a spa room but didn't expect the shower over the spa bath which was not great. Having visited Picton many times before this will be our first and last booking at this motel.

Easy access to the property after hours was very helpful to us who had to arrive in the early hours of the morning

This hotel was a lovely find. We took the Interislander ferry and it was just a short 5 minute drive. We arrived after normal check in hours but because I had prepaid with ******* it was no problem to make arrangements to pick up my hotel key. They left it in a convent spot that was easy for me to locate. In the morning we checked out and had a chance to chat with the staff. Incredibly friendly and helpful with suggestions we had asked for. 10/10 would recommend!

We were happy with our one night stay at the Picton Beachcomber Inn and would recommend to all. Checkin was handled in a friendly and efficient manner. Our room was spacious, clean, light and airy. Bed was comfortable and sheets were crispy fresh! We would stay again if we are in this neck of the woods in future.

We have stayed here before and are pleased to stay here again. We were disappointed the restaurant wasn’t open on the day we were there, but understand. We had a very nice meal downtown.

I loved this hotel. Great location with a view of the marina and ferry terminal. Very close to the ferry terminal. Dinner was great with again views of the marina.

Restaurant closed Sunday/Monday. Very noisy with outside traffic. Good view of harbor.

Amazing view of Picton Harbor! Manager Suzette was always helpful with suggestions for dinner and things to do. Whalers Restaurant (in the Inn) was super…make reservations.

Very nice hotel on the harbor. The staff at the front desk was very nice and upgraded our room to a suite. We had a mini fridge and even little stove with all the kitchen accessories you would need to cook in. We didn't get a chance to try the restaurant but heard good things.

Excellent Location and Scenic Views from Room 301, but Slightly Expensive at $300 per night. Despite the sign indicating a refurbishment in 2013, the property appears a bit worn and could benefit from some updating.
