Property info

Picton House B & B is a 1920's property that has been added too and altered over the years. It has some endearing features and some annoying ones such as the small ensuite bathrooms that people have left comments about. Please, if you need big bathrooms book somewhere else, as we can not provide them. It is also our family home, hence we like people to be comfortable so we DO NOT accept late check in times after 10pm (2200hrs) as this upsets our guests already staying.

Neighborhood info

We are 2 minutes walk to the water front and harbour which is a beautiful deep water port. Picton is a pretty, small sea side town which is a stunning area to explore if you are interested in walking tracks, kayaking, mountain biking, swimming with dolphins and boating. We also have lovely Restaurants , cafes and bars to enjoy and a beautiful new Library just a few minutes walk away.Our new medical centre is on Wellington street, This hub also has a chemist shop attached.
