The motel is very clean and comfortable. We were met by the owners at check in and shown our room. The owners live on the property and are very helpful and kind. She explained things to do and had a lot of information available to make our stay more enjoyable.
The room is very clean and the bed was so comfortable (on the soft side). The little kitchenette and table were convenient when we brought food back to the room.
We had quite a memorable experience being there so soon after the earthquake and being able to talk to people about how they are living through the aftermath. The people in the town are amazing. We wish the best for them, especially those who cannot return to their homes and for a rapid recovery for the area.
As of December 2016, the roads from the south were open, however the roads going north to Picton were closed. We had to drive the inland route to Picton which was about 5 hours.
Amazing people, amazing experience.
