The property is conveniently located—easy walk from the ferry and from restaurants and shops. Common areas are lovely and well stocked. Definitely recommend. ##### Cathryn Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Christian 9 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Small room. Good to stay 1 night. Windows leaky - put a towel there and to the door slit. ##### Christian Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kommi 22 Dec 2024 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Very friendly service! We arrived late at night and the nice manager was very accomodating. I wish we didn’t have to rush off in the morning due to my schedule as the manaaki was impeccable ##### Kommi Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Wendy 29 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Property conditions & facilities I had a noisy neighbour but the host changed me to a quieter room which was an upgrade. Many thanks. ##### Wendy Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandra 7 Jan 2025 Nicci and her staff were very accommodating. Excellent customer service. Value for money. Well done. ##### Sandra Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lauren 9 Jan 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The room wasn't lockable which was concerning, but overall the room was as expected and sheets etc clean ##### Lauren Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kerry 19 Dec 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness The lady who runs it was very friendly. Our room was fine and had a very comfy bed. Our room didn't have a key which was really annoying. We were kept up at night by two men talking loudly and hammering away, building something on the wall next to us. It was very weird and so annoying. Not your typical backpackers vibe. ##### Kerry Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brunella 26 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing Stay at Pewika - A Home Away from Home Our stay at Pewika was nothing short of wonderful. From the moment we arrived, Nicci, the owner, welcomed us with open arms and made us feel right at home. The accommodation was immaculate, cozy, and full of character. It was evident that a lot of care and attention to detail went into making Pewika a warm and inviting place to stay. One of the highlights was the delightful Christmas dinner that Nicci prepared for us. It was a beautiful gesture that made our holiday extra special. The following morning, the continental breakfast offered a great selection of cereals, spreads, and a delicious fruit salad, which was the perfect way to start the day. What made our stay even more memorable was the opportunity to meet people from different parts of the world. The atmosphere at Pewika fostered enriching conversations and a sense of community that made us feel connected and appreciated. Although we only spent one night at Pewika, it left a lasting impression on us. We found ourselves wishing we could stay longer but had to continue our journey. We look forward to returning to Picton, and Pewika will definitely be our go-to place to stay. Nicci's incredible hospitality and the welcoming environment she has created make Pewika a truly special place. Thank you, Nicci, for making our stay so wonderful. We can't wait to visit again.
