Excellent meal in the restaurant.

We had driven all day from Hamilton down to Wellington, caught the ferry to Picton and so the arrival at the hotel was good to get to after a very early start and a long day! The room was perfect for our needs (3 of us) and it was very comfortable. We left early the next day to drive to Dunedin to take my son to Otago. We liked the location and we were able to walk to find a late dinner. Good to have parking too.

Unfortuantely when we were booking in, there was no one on reception and I had to wait for over 15 mins before someone came to serve us (there was a big queue of us all from the ferry). It couldn't be helped but perhaps having someone on reception when people are checking in after a ferry would be a priority. The staff member was very good when he did serve us and knew his stuff! It was just annoying after a long day when all we wanted to do was get into our room (and my husband and son were waiting in the car).

This place has upped its game for sure! Last stay disappointing but decided to give it one more try as previously it had been ok. Voiced our disappointment of last stay when booking this time. They certainly listened. From the moment we arrived we noticed huge improvement. The location of room we requested & a refurbished room was supplied. Room had obviously been recently renovated & was advised all rooms were in process of getting a renovation. Breakfast & restaurant in general had improved. & finally after 5 years of staying at Yacht Club the pool had been painted. Looked great!

One wee complaint....no wine glasses in room??? Weird.

I left early for the ferry. The location was perfect. I enjoyed dinner then returning to a comfortable well resourced room

That access out via the front was locked still. We then had to lug our bags down some rather frightful stairs. There was no parking and had to park on a less secure over flow area away from the Hotel. The man who threatened catering staff because there was no one to check their family in and they had been waiting a while.

I was really injured when I arrived from an injury the previous day. The staff were so helpful and kind. They even brought my drink to my room for me. The food was sensational. The variety for the breakfast excellent. I recommend splurging and buying the French toast though it was fabulous. The view was sensational. I woke early and opened the double sliding doors got back in bed with coffee and watched the sunrise over forest clad hills cosy and warm. Also go see the ladies at picton nails and massage, phenomenal well priced massage.

Climbing stairs to my room. But that's nit picking

I was very fortunate to be given a room with a balcony and a really nice view of Picton Harbour. I found the room to be very comfortable and completely lovely.

This hotel has no lift and with the amount of older people staying, I dont know how they possibly carry their luggage up to the higher floors. I had to carry my friend's luggage up and I saw a young mum lugging a huge suitcase up the outside 'fire' staircase, which was unsafe to say the least. There may be plans for installng lifts, but if not, its something to consider before booking. Or ask for bottom level.

We stay here every year when we come to Picton on our way south. It is always fabulous and this year it was exceptional! The breakfast buffet (which was always great) is now even more generous and delicious and WOW! what an absolutely delicious meal we had at the Chartroom restaurant on our second night. It was completely top class and an exceptionally good price. The beds are always beautifully comfortable and always the rooms are spotlessly clean. We recommend it unreservedly!

Nothing

Location and view was excellent. Definitely upgrade to a room with a view. Rooms are nice, clean and beds are comfortable. The wall heater was really noisy so we couldnt use that at night, but there was an extra blanket so we were warm enough. Dont be put off by the tired looking hallways - the bedrooms are really nice. The free continental breakfast was lovely, with fresh fruit, pastries, cereals, yoghurt and toast.

Im hoping the hallways are going to be renovated as they are really old and tired with stained old carpet and paint chipping off the walls. This really lets the hotel down and made us nervous about our room, but the room was lovely.

We really enjoyed our stay in the Picton Yacht Club Hotel. It’s in a great location close to all restaurants, shops and activities. The staff were really kind and friendly, particularly Fiona on the front desk, who helped to store our luggage as we arrived before check-in. Our room was spacious, fresh and clean with very comfortable beds. Although we didn’t get to try the food in the restaurant it looked delicious, with great variety on the menu. We would love to come back for another visit!

We paid for a harbour view room and it was clean and spacious with great views and a small balcony. The room and large bed had a comfortable classy feel. The swimming pool was nice and was heated so swimming at any time was pleasant. The buffet continental breakfast was decent. Parking is easy (need to register your car).

Only 5 sun loungers round the pool. Plush towels provided though. No air con, free standing fan helped but in high summer may be a bit too hot on top floors.
