Top Mills Bay Hotel Reviews

Picton Beachcomber Inn

8/10 Good

"Firstly the lady at reception was lovely, very friendly & helpful both on check-in and check out. The hotel was nice, good location, sky tv which was a nice bonus, the room was a good size and the beds were comfortable. Only one small issue, the shower is very powerful when turned on to the point it felt like the water went everywhere. The pressure was good but would have been better if could have changed the angle of the water. The room had a safe, which feels a bit 50/50 in new Zealand and Australia Overall good value for money and a nice hotel."
