Bit dusty, but hey, didn't lessen the enjoyment and feel of the place.

Loved Sheira. And the cats.

Maybe make it clearer that private rooms are a bit open.

Slightly odd little hostel with murals etc but quite cosy for it. For those booking private rooms, they are actually open at the top which surprised me but wasnt much of an issue. The living room and fireplace are nice for a chill. Its good value for money. Great location for the ferry.

The beds in our room were not comfortable at all. There was a very thin mattress , maybe a camping mattress or pillow topper, over a hard, inflexible frame. That being said, I was so tired that I still slept!

Sheira’s paintings transport you to another world - Atlantis! She is kind, welcoming, knowledgeable and FUN! A more wonderful hostess would be hard to find.

I wasn't sure where to go when there is a fire. It is a bit of a rabbit warren and the signs are not clear.

It is not the most glamorous accommodation but it is definitely the most quirky and interesting one. I usually don't spend much time in the common lounge and kitchen but in Atlantis the atmosphere was very relaxed and I enjoyed a great evening amidst the other guests. The staff is lovely; I was looked after very well with an extra blanket and a small heater.

There were a lot of weird (sometimes dusty) thingies all around in main area and in the rooms. For some guests it may cause the feeling of excess or redundancy (and I doubt about their cleanliness)

Very affordable place in a great location, close to ferry harbor. Many facilities were inside, including free breakfast. Atlantis owner was always somewhere around, and we could get some travel tips. She created a family-like atmosphere. Generally, I liked the hostel atmosphere, although for some guests it may seem weird. The room was comfortable, and the beds were too.

It could have done with a bit of heating

The manager was really friendly and welcoming. The location was great for the ferry and local restaurants.

Room didn't have a window. No lockers. Sometimes you wait for showers as there are only three. Beds seem old and not very comfy.

Really cosy and spacious interiors, cats walking around, a piano, friendly staff, and they let me check in at 11 am! Short distance to everything.

The parking was hard if you're not early enough..

Good cheap accommodation with good facilities..

There's a heavy smell in the unsheeted room.

I like the arts and the atmosphere very much. People are nice and free dessert!

Best bed so far. I booked a single room and slept like a baby. Fab location and a really interesting hostel. Free tea / coffee and breakfast offered. Loved the sofas and listening to other travellers play the piano.

Absolutely nothing

Fantastic backpacker hostel if you are backpacking in New Zealand. Very cheap and you can meet a lot of people. Also a nice cosy place and the staff are very helpful. The selfmade free dessert on 7pm is a very sweet touch too.

The WiFi was very patchy - no signal at all in my room, and intermittent in the common areas.

The hostel doesn't have the best curb appeal, but fortunately my first impressions proved to be incorrect! I received an amazingly warm welcome from the lady who I think was the owner. The room was compact, but had everything you needed, and the beds were comfortable. I requested a lower bunk, and this was kindly noted and accommodated. The kitchen was big and well-equipped. The free tea/coffee, breakfast, and little dessert in the evenings were all great, and set it apart from other hostels. The common area was big, with plenty of comfortable seating and absolutely loads of books! The hostel cats were super cute, too! Location was great, right in the centre of Picton, just minutes from the train station and ferry.

I liked the welcome after 9 p.m., and the help of the team for a lost item. (donation of a warm jacket)

Bed

Friendly , shira is pretty good hay

Stayed in March 2024

Bed was a bit creaky and the room division was a bit weird but fine. I stayed in a 2 or 4 person room.

Very nice staff and especially after the late night ferry! The hostel is a bit chaotic in terms of decorations but that kind of makes it nice. Good to meet other travellers and they have parrots and cats you can pet. Very good location.

I was in transit, therefore only stayed the one night... The Hostel appeared busy with bodies, backpacks and various items everywhere ... The hosts were great very helpful and accommodating. Great selection of music in the kitchen and lounge areas
