Escape To Picton Boutique Hotel

I liked the location and the classic, old-fashioned atmosphere. It was clean and well maintained and the staff were friendly.

I stayed on the first and second floors for one day each, but the props and bedding on the first floor were quite old, and I was disappointed that I could hear all kinds of noises on the second floor, such as footsteps and the sound of the door closing in the next room.

Absolutely lovely boutique hotel in a great location (easy walk to the waterfront, high street etc.). The rooms feel thoroughly decadent and the owner and staff went out of the way to make us feel welcome and comfortable. We can also recommend the restaurant / wine bar. We ate there both nights and the food was outstanding.

We arrived in the evening at 18:00, but the hotel was closed and we were simply left on the street and were forced to go and look for a new hotel after a long journey. It seems that this hotel is not functioning, there are signs that it is for sale. I advise you not to risk it and not to go to this hotel, as there is a high probability that you will be left on the street. 3 days have passed, but no one has returned our money. The hotel sent me a funny letter to sort things out with booking.com and demanded payment from them. Funny, isn't it? The hotel simply disclaimed responsibility, although they could have contacted booking.com and said that they simply do not work!!!!! The hotel told me in a letter that they simply forgot about my reservation. But this is a lie, since the hotel is closed, all the furniture is collected inside, it is clearly visible that the hotel is not working.

Great breakfast. location was perfect

everything was great

Enormous, very grand luxury rooms with super high ceilings. Every detail has been thought of from the lovely throws and cushions in the rooms to the fresh milk, tea and coffee left out for guests. The huge roll top bath tub with lovely lavender scented bath and body sets and bath salts was such a treat (as was the underfloor heating)! It’s also a stone’s throw from everything you could need in Nelson. Couldn’t fault!

Nothing, it was great!

The suite was luxurious. The bar and restaurant were wonderful. What a surprise. Picton is a delightful town. The property is convenient when connecting to the InterIsland Ferry and/or the train.
