Vicki, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Not bad, but no gluten free option for breakfast, and small double bed.
David, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Picton overnight.

Property is pleasant enough. It could do with some work on it though. Suited to young backpackers probably. We had an overnight stay as we were catching the ferry to Wellington.
Barry, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I advised Sequoia that I wasn't coming because the event(air show) that I was to attend was cancelled. I attempted to advise Wotif also, but my emails were rejected by mxb.expediagroup.com. I prepaid $184.34( collected by Wotif), am not happy and would like that amount refunded. Thank you.
Richard, 0-night trip

4/10 Fair

Place was filthy. Garden area looked like a dump. Blood stains and dead mosquitos on the ceiling.

4/10 Fair

No customer service at all

Asked to get early breakfast as we were catching the early ferry to north island but they couldn’t accommodate. My partner left behind his earphones and they couldn’t send them to us even though we offered to pay a generous amount of money to cover costs plus some
Esther, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Convenient location for a night before catching morning ferry, but do bring ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper as is located on main roundabout into Picton so freight trucks braking as they head past to the ferry in the middle of the night can be disruptive.
Kelli, 1-night trip

Nice cheap stay

A great 2 night stay. Rooms are basic with everything you need. I had no issues. Wifi was good too and the hosts are lovely! They try their best!
