Picton overnight.

Property is pleasant enough. It could do with some work on it though. Suited to young backpackers probably. We had an overnight stay as we were catching the ferry to Wellington.

I advised Sequoia that I wasn't coming because the event(air show) that I was to attend was cancelled. I attempted to advise Wotif also, but my emails were rejected by mxb.expediagroup.com. I prepaid $184.34( collected by Wotif), am not happy and would like that amount refunded. Thank you.

No customer service at all

Asked to get early breakfast as we were catching the early ferry to north island but they couldn’t accommodate. My partner left behind his earphones and they couldn’t send them to us even though we offered to pay a generous amount of money to cover costs plus some
