Escape To Picton

It was just wonderful, the bed was fantastic. An experience well worth its value and more ,

It was everything the name suggests, boutique and a fantastic escape.

Escape to Picton, is a lovely boutique hotel experience. From the moment we arrived and were greeted by the lovely Elizabeth, who upon arrival showed us our amazing suite complete with petit fours and a glass of NZ wine. Our suite the “honeymoon” suite was gorgeous, the attention to detail and comfort was 5*. King bed with luxury linens, lounge and balcony with views of the sound and marina and then there is the tub! You must eat downstairs! The food is delicious!

Absolutely nothing!!

We arrived at this beautiful hotel late in the evening, and were greeted by the incredibly charming Elisabeth. We were offered a complimentary upgrade to the honeymoon suite, which was absolutely stunning! We were so impressed when we walked into the suite and saw how beautifully the room was decorated, with ambient lighting (and dimmers) that added to the charm. The tub in the bathroom was gorgeous, and salts were offered for a nice soak. The room was very clean and immaculately decorated. The restaurant was amazing, and offered such delicious wines. The staff were all so welcoming and hospitable, especially Elisabeth and the waitress working inside the restaurant (we regret not asking for her name). We enjoyed our stay so much that we stayed there again on our way back up the coast, and of course dined at the restaurant again. We were offered a complimentary upgrade again which we were so grateful for, and we were treated like old friends by the staff who remembered us. They even gave us soy milk as they noticed we had left a jug of soy milk in the room, and the waitress remembered exactly which wines we had during our previous visit. Huge thank you to the wonderful team at Escape to Picton! We will definitely be back if we are in the area.

A small fridge in the room would be a nice addition, though we were definitely fine without it!
