Great stopover for a ferry crossing the next day. Massive double rooms and lounge so plenty of space and an easy walk to town for dinner and breakfast the next day

If you are nostalgic about the 1970s/1980s then this is the place for you! Cheap stop over motel if you are taking an early morning ferry out of Picton.
