Three nights stay

"We have stayed here many times during the past fifteen years, the last time was in 2015. This motel is in a wonderful position right at the waters edge with scenic uninterrupted views and 24/7 peace and quiet. Our two bedroom unit (No7) had everything that we needed. Our stay was enhanced even more by the very helpful and friendly attitude of all owners and staff that we met during our stay. We would never contemplate staying anywhere else when we are in Picton."

Bay Vista Paradise

"Our stand-up paddling group had the most welcoming, comfortable and relaxing stay. The units are well equipped, spotlessly clean and Rachel and her team are friendly and accommodating. Accessibility to the water was an added bonus for us. Many thanks Team Bay Vista. I'll definitely be back."

Breath-taking views, relaxing holiday destination

"Our family has enjoyed our annual holiday at Bay Vista for 12 years in a row. The motel is clean, well presented with great hosts and the most beautiful scenery and bird life. Boating activity, passing ferries, beach and visiting birds makes this a relaxing holiday destination."

Not long enough

"Beautiful views and well laid out. Rachel was so helpful and friendly. The motel was very comfortable and quiet. We wished we were staying longer. It was a nice walk to the nearby marina and a just short drive to the ferry."

Brilliant views and great family friendly place to stay

"Greeted by wonderful warm friendly hosts. We stayed in the 2 bedroom apartment which is perfect for families or friends staying together which had everything. Very clean and tastefully decorated. The view was breath-taking and a perfect excuse to sit and take in all the natural beauty that surrounds you. Lovely to see the ferries come via travelling the cook straight into the sounds. Perfect for kids and families to run and play with the waterfront right at your front door. Easy 2 minute walk to the marina and cafe/pub restaurant which caters for all tastes. Beautiful surroundings, a place you cannot beat for a nice relaxing break."

An awesome choice

"The 2 bedroom unit was the perfect choice for 2 couples staying in Waikawa bay to catch up with friends. The waterfront location and spotless unit made for a great long weekend. Rachel was cheerfully willing to help with any requests. Fully recommend staying here."

Stunning evening & morning view

"Clean & tidy & very friendly staff, to sit down in the evening to a beautiful & relaxing view was a great end to the day, waking to a beautiful spring morning looking out to the calm waters in the bay what more could you as for. I will be returning!"
