I am incredibly disgusted with Coral the proprietor of this establishment.
I have been charged twice for the stay of one night. $NZ195 x 2
I have contacted Coral three times by email with evidence of the double charge.
Her response has been indifferent, rude and unprofessional.
Point blank she has refused to refund the $195 just saying we do not give refunds.
Coral refuses to acknowledge her error. You may not believe this review, up to you.
Please just be very careful with her.

disgusted with your dishonesty.

Lovely stay.  Felt like going home.  We'd gladly come back here any time 

Good:  
Pleasant staff
Clean room
Nice breakfast
Comfortable bed
Rhubarb
Good location

Bads:
Check out at 10.  We'd like to have stayed longer
Tiny, but adequate bathroom.
Only one plug.  We had meds we needed to keep refrigerated and had to use the "Only for kettle" plug
No sound proofing.  But stay was quiet anyway.  Sorry neighbors... 
She couldn't find our reservation initially, which was a bit of a scare.

Wonderfully pleasant stay

What an awesome old house. Our room was comfortable and we were well looked after. Walking distance to town for bars and restaurants and to the ferry. We walked over to the marina and spotted heaps of stingrays from the bridge. Great spot to stay.

What a lovely old house

Nice looking place and the room was quite comfortable, as indeed it should be at NZD180, (£94 sterling). Breakfast is included in the price.
Breakfast finishes at 0900, (why so early?), but I forgot to set my alarm and arrived downstairs at 0915. My fault entirely for making a basic mistake when tired after a couple of days travelling. 
I was told, "You've missed breakfast, the kitchen is closed and nothing is available." I said I would make myself a cup of coffee in my room but was told, "Don't make it in the room, we'll make it for you here".  I didn't expect the kitchen to be opened for me but a piece of toast or a bowl of cereal would have been very much appreciated, especially as it had already been paid for.  However, their hospitality extended only as far as a cup of lukewarm coffee.
I returned to my room, packed my bag and walked out into the rain thirty minutes later to look for breakfast elsewhere.
It's all about the money, regardless of how warm the welcome is. I would expect that treatment at a downmarket hotel chain but not a place that purports to be 'homely'. Very disappointed.
What a miserable end to my stay in Picton.



Disappointing lack of hospitality

Very friendly and welcoming. Continental breakfast hits the spot and is included. 

Overall it was a great overnight stop for us as 2 adults, 3 kids before staring the Queen Charlotte track.
 
The kids had a room up stairs with shared bathroom/toilet - all was very clean. Adults had an ensuite downstairs. The ensuite is very small but again can’t fault it with only one night stay

Great overnighter

Had a very pleasant three night stay here . It is right near the centre of town and just a short walk to cafes and restaurants. The breakfast is quite sufficient, the rooms very clean and I had a very large room with everything I needed, including a comfortable bed. There was a kettle in the room but no TV. I was upstairs and had to share a bathroom and toilet but never actually saw anyone else despite the place being full. Staff were very friendly and accomodating including when I turned up just before breakfast finished. I would recommend this as a place to stay if you are in Picton.

Friendly B&B

Booked to stay and advised were arriving on the midnight ferry, the booking was confirmed via email.  About 2 hours later I received phone message to query the time we were arriving as they did not take late check ins.  When I called back (about 2 hours later) was told that even if we had been arriving earlier they had already cancelled our booking and no other rooms were available. 

Booking cancelled 

Coral goes out of her way to make your stay pleasant. She’s let down a bit by a fairly ordinary mattress and abysmal hot water pressure in the showers but overall reasonably good value with breakfast included. 

Cosy and friendly, great for overnight 

Coral was a very friendly and nice host. We stayed here on two different nights at the beginning and end of doing the Queen Charlotte Track. The B&B is very conveniently located, a short walk to town and the ferry. Our room was comfortable although the bathroom was very small - but fine for a short stay.

Nice convenient place

Very clean, and Coral was very friendly, managed to fit us in for 2 nights at the last minute. Breakfast was lovely. Very handy to restaurants and cafes, also a short walk to the harbour.
Will stay again if we are up that way again.
