Arrived in Picton on a cruise ship. Packed our laundry in a bag and found the Picton Laundry. Just…read morea block or two from the I-Center and convenient to the ship shuttle. This location offers coin machines as well as a wash and fold service. Dry cleaning service is offered as well. Stop by the ATM across the street if you need NZ$. The owner, Val, was most gracious and helpful! Send all your business her way!

There is a whole new laundromat here now with brand new machines, laundry powder dispenser, change…read moremachine & snack machine. Also has a large folding / sorting table & plenty of room with seating for while you're waiting. There are 3 x 10kg front load washers & an 18kg front load washer/extractor, as well as 4 x 20kg dryers. Costs are: 10kg wash - $4 (cold), $5 (hot) 18kg wash - $7 (cold), $8 (hot) Dryers - $1 for 5 minutes. Dryers are very efficient & will dry a decent sized load in 20 - 30 minutes (depending on temperature selected & what's in the load). Overall a very nicely maintained laundromat that is kept clean & inviting. Highly recommended.

It's right by the entrance to the interislander ferry terminal for foot passengers, and about 10-15 minutes' walk from the Bluebridge passenger terminal. It's a short walk from bakkerij bakery. There is no restroom, although there are various buildings around with them, including the ferry terminals and a museum. There's plenty of street parking right outside, 60 minutes mostly, with a 10-minute zone right in front of the laundry. $12 to do a load, plus detergent, just seems excessive. But if you have to do laundry and miss the ferry and have to wait for a later one, it's an okay way to make lemonade.

I went here recently because it seems to be the closest laundrette to Wellington CBD. The machines…read moreare fairly new looking and did a good job the lady at the counter did help and was quite friendly although the prices were a little steep but at $19 to have a wash and dry I guess that's not too bad.
