Picton Beachcomber Inn
Great location. Extremely clean & tidy. Have had limited contact with staff but this last stay the interaction was very short / functional. Fine I guess. Have stayed 3 or 4 times. As long as it’s not peak peak time it’s not much more expensive than very basic places. It’s my Picton go-to now.
