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.

A comfortable stay just for a night before catching the ferry. It is a short walk into Picton where there are eateries and bars. It was cheap and cheerful, and the gentleman on the desk was very friendly, welcoming and helpful. I only made coffee in the kitchen but it looked well stocked. The room itself was a little shabby and could do with a deep clean (carpet a bit stained, cobwebs in the corners), but bedding, toilet, shower etc were all clean, and the bed was comfortable, and the room cooled down pleasantly in the evening after a warm day. My only comment would be that my room smelled quite musty - perhaps it would benefit from a thorough airing out at some point!
