We liked everything about this place. Unit 2 was a real treat. Breakfast foods were provided. A bonus. Washing machine was great to have. Good shower. Comfortable beds. And, I just loved the china in the unit. None of your ordinary everyday white plate. It did my soul good to stay here and we wished it could have been longer.

The property is very well kept. There were lots of toys and activities to enjoy. The vegetation on property was beautiful. The view from my room was beautiful. Such a relaxing environment. The common kitchen has all the cooking tools you'd need and is super clean. There are great books to exchange. Minimal bugs.

Staff were exceptional. Helpful and thoughtful are the words that come to mind. Also, the quirky little cabins were well above the standard I was expecting and the cleanliness of the whole place, including the communal toilets and kitchen, was the best I think I’ve ever seen in a camp ground of this age.

We loved our time here. The spot is tranquil and beautiful. The staff are welcoming and friendly. There's so much to do for adults and kids and the accommodation is very comfortable. The meals in the restaurant are delicious and very generous servings. We didn't want to leave.

Been many many times and love the place. Very peaceful off season, but plenty to see and do no matter what time of year. Decent supermarkets and plenty of places to eat. Variety of other shops and love the aquarium. Very calm swimming beaches always.

The Portage was a lovely place to stay, the views were amazing and the staff extremely helpful. We were dissapointed about only 1 restaurant being open, and therefore not a large selection to choose from. We would recommend asking in advance, if they can make up a sharing platter, as this is not on the menu, and when we asked, they mentioned we should have ordered in advance. The beautiful view from the deck totally lends itself to drinking and grazing on a delicious platter. The kids loved the kayaks and paddle boards. We would recommend booking a transfer and taking a picnic to a secluded beach - we had a wonderful time.

Lochmara Bay has so much to see and do and has beautiful scenery. Peaceful and quiet if you don't mind the odd speedboat or jetski. Lochmara Lodge is a fantastic option for people stopping in from tramping on the Queen Charlotte Track or visiting by boat (20 mins from Picton) - the accommodation was excellent as was the food and activities on offer. They even take your bags boat to door and back! Activities include roaming the stunning gardens with unusual forest artwork, enjoying the wildlife in the forest and marine life from the viewing boat, feeding the animals, kayaking, swimming when warm enough, lying in the hammocks!!! Big shout out to the staff who work hard and are helpful and friendly.

A lovely little town with an array of eateries and views to admire. Jolly Roger's is a bustling restaurant and bar worthy of a visit and the Picton Village Bakery had the best potato top pie my wife has ever had. Cougar Line cruises are also a real treat to see the sounds in all its glory. Relaxing - destressing can't fault it.
