This hostel is the worst I've ever seen. The dormitory is one big room with circa 20 beds, no doors, no privacy and cats! The movie room looks just shocking and the woman at the reception is creepy. I didn't feel comfortable at all. I did not even feel welcome, there was a big community room, but the couches were... More

We were two couples that arrived via the Wellington Ferry and made the 5 minute walk to Atlantis Backpacker to recieve a warm welcome and great service. We stayed in a two bedroom ensuite flat in the rear of the main building but enjoyed spending time in the main building as well. The owner Shiera is a wonderfully eccentric and... More

This is a great place to stay which is very close to I site and Interstate terminal in Picton. The staff is extremely friendly and happy people. They serve dessert in the evening. Free milk all day long for tea and coffee use, and of course tea and coffee also for free. They have spices in the kitchen. The place is neat... More

I'm not fond of hostels...when I have the chance I prefer B&B and hotels. But in this case I wouldn't leave this funny and friendly place for the grand hotel! First the reception, never found people so nice and so attentive to client's needs. The hostel is very close to the ferry terminal and to every other place you could... More

stayed here for one night in Picton after arriving on the evening ferry from Wellington. This is one of two hostels closest to the ferry terminal. I stayed in the 6-bed female dormitory. If you're lucky, not all the beds will be occupied, so that you have more room to put your belongings. The beds are comfortable and the cost... More

The beds were very uncomfortable and the bedding smelt like smoke. This is a very basic hostel but the staff are very friendly. The whole place needs updating. The showers and toilets were clean and they provide bread so you can make toast for breakfast.

Although we were only in Picton for a night it was a good place to spend the night. We got off the ferry and it was a quick 5 minute walk to Atlantis. Also, again, another quick 5 minute walk to the train station for the Coastal Pacific train. So the location was very convenient. Atlantis has a very cool... More

Atlantis is a great place to chill out and meet people. Rooms are lovely and the facilities are clean and well equipped. Free breakfast was great and free dessert is always a bonus. Shiera and Howard are great hosts and will bend over backwards to help you out.Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We stayed here one night because we had to catch the ferry from Picton to Wellington. The location is ideal as it is about 5 minutes from the ferry. Price was very reasonable for the time of year. The kitchen is well stocked and fairly large. Our room was very small and cold even though they claim they have central... More
