Top Mills Bay Hotel Reviews

Harbour View Motel

8/10 Good

"Thetwo bedroom apartment is wellappointed with a good lookout. The tableand and balcony, leading onto the grassy shared seating area, is clever. The apartment layout is good and having the bedrooms down stairs is also a good layout. The shower unit is perhaps in need of perhaps some renovation however has good water pressure. The kitchen area is perfect. The blinds in the main bedroom do let light in the morning. The windows also allowed some wind noise to pass through but did not disrupt sleep but one was aware of it. The motel has good car parking. Easy walking into the town of Picton. It was a nice stay and I think good value for money."
