Atlantis Backpackers, hotel in Anakiwa

Atlantis Backpackers is a minutes walk from Picton Waterfront and a 2-minute walk from Picton Train Station. This simple accommodations features barbecue facilities and free on-site parking.

The decor is quirky and eclectic which makes for a unique experience. The cats are adorable and friendly without being too up in your space and the free dessert when I arrived made it feel like I was coming to stay at my weird aunts rather than a hostel. What really made my stay however were the staff! They were so welcoming and friendly. I really enjoyed my chats with them. Andrew was working reception when I got in and helped me store my surfboard in the hostel with no hassle. He gave me a great tour of the hostel amenities and even made me some tea! The cherry on top is how close the location is to the ferry

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.
