Top Queen Charlotte Sound Hotel Reviews

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."
