Great value in Picton for a nights stay before/after the ferry with super friendly hosts. A bit noisy due to location right on the main road, but quiets down at night.

It was fine - perfectly adequate for a 1 night stop over - bit of a walk along noisy roads to get to waterfront where the cafes etc are but fine for a one night stop over - thank you

Lovely hosts and lovely property, likely one of the best, if not the best in Picton. Make sure that you can carry your luggage up about 5 steps, there is no ramp.

STEVEN

Loved it! Room 3 was clean, well equipped, and perfect for our stay. Only a 10 minute walk to downtown which was very convenient. The host, Tracee, was absolutely fantastic and really goes above and beyond to make your stay the best. We will definitely stay here again next time we are in Picton.

Welcoming, clean and spacious. Large bathroom. Loved that the fan provided was immaculate (i wont use if dirty, dont like blowing other peoples dirt around the room). Loved the little extras like water in the fridge, as well as soft clean bathrobes.

Maureen

Good value for money. We stayed for two nights and it’s a lovely place with two beds and good TV choices with Netflix, YouTube, Prime. WiFi worked great. We walked to high street which is about 15-20 minutes. There are good choice of eateries. The place located near main road you will expect some noise during rush hours otherwise it’s quite, we both slept well.

We liked everything! The accommodations were excellent, the location was wonderful, and our owner/hostess, Tracee, could not have been nicer. We would highly recommend a stay at Top of the Town.

Kemble

The room is clean, well equipped and very comfortable. Tracey is an excellent host. We wanted to be close to the Interislander for an early start but traffic noise from the over-night arrivals and departures meant we didn’t sleep very well - it was warm and we had the windows open. Tracey did supply ear plugs but they didn’t quite do the job.
