Top of the South 2 Stars Hotels

"Insufficent heating very cold in unit with only a 1 bar heater Needs electric blanket"

"Its a top 10. Dont expect to much. But the backpacker next door is really loud at night "

"Great place to stay in Picton! Highly recommend it :))"

"Unfortunately we didn't quite realise just how small the cabin we booked was. I suppose this is not the facilities fault as they haven't falsely advertised it but it was seriously small. Once the sun went down if you weren't going out you were pretty much stuck laying on the bed as there's no room really to sit anywhere else.I think that they should maybe put on the website just how small they are so you know exactly what you're walking into"

"Good place in nice city center area — great staff —- good backpacker environment "

"quiet handy"

"Beautiful grounds, great hosts, big room, very comfy, great location. Even plenty of sunshine "

"This hostel is great. It's a little out of the way if you don't have a car, but the bus is only $3 from the airport and it's only an 11 minute walk. They have chocolate pudding every evening at 8pm. *(for Americans, it's not milky, liquidy pudding, but baked "pudding".) It gets pretty cold in the fall/winter. They offer extra blankets, but I still found it very chilly. I really liked the communal spaces and the hammocks, love a good hammock. I think this hostel is probably really busy in the...

"Such a great place to stay as it is so close to the ferry"

"I booked and arrived late, a lovely young woman welcomed me and showed me to my cute little self-contained unit in the back garden. Very grateful for the room at that time. It was well stocked with all i the appliances etc I needed. Quiet. Shower floor could have done with a clean. "

"Pros: -Great location, super quick walk from the ferry and cafes -friendly atmosphere -good sized private rooms with sink -nice garden area for relaxing -great value for money Areas for improvement -people were quiet but the nature of the building means if anyone arrives late it’s quite loud due to the wooden floors and thin walls -kitchen wasn’t well equipped - no baking trays, foil, salt/pepper, which was a bit limiting if you want to cook for yourself. "

"Everything about this place was awesome from booking to leaving. The staff were lovely"

"The property is on the main road so can be quite noisy if you are in the front units A bit too far out of town for us"

"Beautiful view and ideal for access to Abel Tasman. Very nice property. "

"Ambience "

"I don't know how Expedia could list such a property on its website. The property is indicated as a backpacker establishment but it is more a boarding house for the down and out. The premises were filthy and unsanitary, the carpet was solid with dirt and sticky, the sheets had blood stains on them, there was rubbish and boxes lying everywhere in the common areas. I felt unsafe. When I told the proprietor that I wanted to leave she insisted on taking a cancellation fee. There was nothing else...

"Was a great place to visit, very quiet and relaxing. Our cabin was very clean and warm. Beach was amazing "

"Great place away from the hustle and bustle of Kaiteriteri. Had everything we needed and close enough for us to visit all the places we had planned e.g. Abel Tasman walks,kayaking, boating. Accomodation very clean and comfortable. Friendly helpful hosts. "

"This place is out-of-this-world cool and fun. I’m 71 and it is one of the most interesting and beautiful places I have ever stayed. And the hosts are great!"
