Bay Vista Waterfront Motel, Picton

Here's my review of Bay Vista Waterfront Motel, located at a 10 minute drive away from central Picton. We stayed for an entire 3 nights in mid-December from 16 Dec to 19 Dec 2016.

Review of Bay Vista Waterfront Motel
This was our 14th accommodation during our 2 month NZ road trip. My family stayed 3 nights in mid-December and what a stay this was! This is the first time ever where a host (Lilian) actually stood outside to greet us as we drove in. I mean how often does this happen?? She was highly accommodative, showing us around our room and always greeting us with a smile whenever we met.

The room itself was impeccably clean and spacious, easily fitting two sofas and a dining table. In addition to the kitchen utensils, there's a full-size fridge, stovetop and even an oven. The exterior was just as wonderful, with a view of the boats in Waikawa Bay and we were very fortunate to be given a private 2 bedroom corner unit facing a lovely stream which our children had a whale of a time with.

The location is away from central Picton but really not a problem should you have a car. It's a quiet cozy spot and that's exactly what we wanted.

All in all, the whole experience was wonderful and very relaxing. It really helps that folks like Lilian do what they do 'cos they genuinely love their job and it shows.

Thankyou for taking the time to put such a lovely supportive review on T/A for us. We will treasure this place for ever.

Kindest regards to your all.

Well how about that. As you can see, in terms of service, this is likely the best we had seen in New Zealand. Fantastic stuff.
