Absolutely loved my stay! Stayed in a 1 bedroom with partner and two kids for 2 nights. Very spacious. Bedroom had queen bed and single (warm and comfortable!!) and we were facing the park across the road and the lake. Lounge had two spacious, comfortable couches that turned into beds. Kitchen had all the amenities. Bathroom had a big room with a big accessible shower and a toilet in its own room within the bathroom. Fast, efficient check in and check out process. Host was welcoming and friendly. Gave time to talk and catch up. Used the outdoor pool many times. It’s small but deep enough for a relaxing soak and warm. 4 year old lapped it up! Overall 10/10 rating and would highly recommend this place to stay. Will be back.

Okay, so let’s get this out the way: it’s a little dated but only to the 80s with some interesting decor. Something of an old school motel. But it’s clean, very well equipped, and the real winning quality: in a FANTASTIC location. You couldn’t ask for a better spot. And a shout out to John: a real friendly chap and genuinely welcoming.

The views of the park and lake were great, but unfortunately it rained most of the time we were there. The room was large and well appointed. The queen bed was very nice, but the pull-out bed for our daughter wasn't fit for an adult (uncomfortable).

A friendly welcome from the reception team. Apartment was a studio with kitchenette on the top floor. It was clean, spacious, had good amenities and was close to shops and restaurants. The view of Picton harbour from our balcony was absolutely amazing, we could’ve stayed there all day watching the works go by. One night was not long enough!
