Great Budget Stay in Picton
AAA Marlin is an older property that has been refurbished recently. Older means bigger rooms, bigger bathrooms, and a full kitchen (not just a kitchenette.) Big bed was fairly comfy. Also has laundry facilities and a wee barbeque for guests to use. Friendly staff went out of their way to offer help. Supermarket 7 min walking distance, handy for ferries too.

The shower recess and bathroom floor were incredibly slippery, no soap required. I fell heavily, I could have been really badly injured.
