I enjoyed having a semi-private room, the opportunity to have some toast and coffee for breakfast, and being welcomed by the owners and allowed on the day of checkout to sit in a quiet area where I could work through to the afternoon.

Atlantis is the best hostel in Picton. The owner and staff are awesome, and the place itself is filled with awesome art. Free dessert and breakfast as well as the whole place just feels like home.

It's a very dreamy hostel, and Sheets, the hostel mum, is just the nicest person I've met. Loved to stay here and would always come back when I'm around here. :D If you're a Disney Fan you should come here.
