Travelling on own and booked room in hostel. Did what it said on tin. Staff very helpful and friendly. Room secure and no negative vibes. I am 59 yearly old male travelling about for 4 weeks. Maybe should be spending more on hotels but would rather keep money for wine tours and trips on boats. Great value for what I paid and staff great.

The gentleman running Sequoia is quite nice. The room was comfortable (we had a private ensuite, note that hand soap is not provided). The kitchen is well equipped with lots of seating. We weren’t able to sit outside to eat our breakfast as there were a number of chain smokers sitting at the outside kitchen table. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again

After hours check in was simple and communicated well. They need to have the reservation and know you will be after 9:00, so let them know by 8:00 if possible. Room was quite clean and the beds were acceptable. Noise wasn't bad after the last truck left town and since we were on the last ferry to arrive in Picton. Will stay again
