Top Big Bay Hotel Reviews

Jasmine Court Motel

8/10 Good

"A clean, easily accessible motel in the centre of Picton. You are within walking distance of shops and restaurants and it is very easy to get to the Port from here. Strongly recommend"

Sequoia Lodge & Backpackers

8/10 Good

"Only one comment. I left very early. Found I could not get into the kitchen to get my food from the fridge as the doors were locked. Wasnt aware that that would happen."

Picton Beachcomber Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were great and accomodating. We arrived"

Broadway Motel

10/10 Excellent

"I liked the easy check in"

The Boathouse Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Really cosy, clean and safe in my experience. I lived the white and blue. The kitchen and lounge felt homely. Close to the ferry, Thai restaurant, theatre, mini golf. . . A beautiful, rejuvenating place."

Harbour View Motel

10/10 Excellent

"We only stayed in the property for a few hours as our late ferry was delayed but we were very impressed with the property and wished we could have made more use of it!"

Bay Vista Waterfront Motel Picton

10/10 Excellent

"Large bright room with nice view out front of boats in the bay. Clean and well equipped. Only stayed one night before the morning ferry but would stay here again if we were going to spend a few days in Picton."

Top of the Town

8/10 Good

"The room was very clean, maybe a bit small for two people. On the other hand, the bathroom was huge and had everything one needed. The kitchenette had no separate sink, therefore cutlery and dishes had to be cleaned in the bathroom. Parking was free and the owner was really nice. A Tavern with great food is in walking distance, so no need to drive to a restaurant. Altogether, an appealing place to stay where guests get a good night sleep."

Punga Cove Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome location and staff were really great"
