Edit Picton
Edit is a very nice place to stay, and I've had awesome stays in the past. The room we received however was quite dated, and dusty, with a shower that was very reminiscent of the 60s... The room is referenced as a 'budget' room, but I still expected more given my previous experience at the same hotel ...

Sequoia Lodge & Backpackers
For the price you pay it's what you expect, it was clean so made up for the lack of. Loved the host, even came to the ferry to pick us up in his old jalopy 😆. For a one night stay it was amenable. ✌
