The best place to stay in Picton, New Zealand is the Jasmine Court - Travellers' Inn (78 Wellington Street, Picton).   After staying there for three days, here are 10 reasons the Consumer Journal rated this hotel a definitive place to stay:

>> Absolutely immaculate

>>  Conveniently located across the street from a grocery store

>> Two and half blocks from the Marlborough Bay Marina 

>>  An hour boat ride to the Charlotte Sound Track

>> Kitchenette stocked with basic necessities (dining ware, microwave, refrigerator, etc)

>> Spa jacuzzi hot tub for two

>> Complimentary email privileges

>> A bistro table, suggestively appointed outside 

>> Quaint and absolutely quiet

If you forget your i-Pod, there are no worries. The entertainment area is stocked with a CD player, a decent music collection (that includes Mark Knopfler).  With only 15-suites and a 10 AM check-out time, this location is ideal for adults and definitively the best accommodation or place to stay in PIcton, New Zealand.
