Nice guesthouse

Tracee was super helpful and we were able to drop off luggage early so we could go explore. Nice guesthouse, decent sized room and bathroom. Bed made noise every time you moved but otherwise it was a good stay.

We loved staying at Tracee and Brian's Top of the Town. The room was comfortable, there was a parking space for us, we could walk into the center of the incredibly picturesque town of Picton, and our hosts were very welcoming. We lucked out with this reservation!

Loved it at Top of Town. Tracee was very welcoming and the bedroom and ensuite very, very, very comfortable. Spotlessly clean with good hot drink selection. Tracee was very helpful in every way. There was no option for breakfast but many choices in short walk.

Comfy & clean, good location

We were passing through Picton stayed for one night only. The bedroom & bathroom were clean, no kitchen but there was a kettle etc, fridge & a microwave, did the job. The host was very friendly and helpful with information. The location was close, 5mns in a car, to the ferry and town, handy! I would recommend.

Definitely top in the town

After a warm greeting from Tracee we were very happy with the quality of the room and amenities. Just a short walk into town for dinner (with recommendations from Tracee) where we had an excellent meal at Sisu. Would happily stay here again.

Nice room and a great host but the proximity to a major road from the port meant sleeping was impossible! All night the room shook and vibrated from heavy goods vehicles, we got absolutely no sleep.

Tracee is the absolute best hostess. Greeted us like long lost friends and made sure we had absolutely everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. The fluffy bathrobes were a nice added touch. Recommended a trike tour with PK that was absolutely amazing. Even arranged for a ride into town during a torrential rainstorm while we were there. Even drove us into town with our bags when we checked out. Thank you Tracee for making our stay memorable. Best Wishes to PK too! 😎

Loved the room tucked away and private with great facilities for my dog. Therewas a cold spell while i was there and the bathroom was pretty cold, but the shower was excellent. Host was great, there when needed. Close to food outleys and supermarket. Great night in with netflix and other digital services. Would stay again.
