A great place to stay for getting on the Interislander ferry in the early morning! Comfortable, compact room - it was a studio room with microwave and fridge - no kitchen sink or cooking facilities. Bed and bathroom facilities good.

Great Budget Stay in Picton
AAA Marlin is an older property that has been refurbished recently. Older means bigger rooms, bigger bathrooms, and a full kitchen (not just a kitchenette.) Big bed was fairly comfy. Also has laundry facilities and a wee barbeque for guests to use. Friendly staff went out of their way to offer help. Supermarket 7 min walking distance, handy for ferries too.
