Fabulous
A fabulous well run hostel full of interest and fun. Lots of communal rooms and gardens. Basic bikes to borrow for free and so we saw more of the area. 10/15 min walk into town. Home baked scones for breakfast.

I loved this stay, especially the freshly made scones for breakfast, that was such a nice touch! The only downside is that Tombstone isn’t as close to the ferry as it says when booking, this is because of a long term (if not permanent) road closure. So if you are travelling by foot (like me) then it’s quite a walk 20mins from ferry/town. Other than that, the place is lovely.

This was a great plave to stay for the night so we could catch the ferry the next day. We loved the way the decorated and capitalized on being across the street from the Picton cemetery. Great marketing and awesome friendly place to stay. The scones and coffee for breakfast were delicious and a great addition to a nice stay. Thank you Alberta, Canada Visitors

I liked that it was clean and tidy, quiet even though its close to the bluebridge terminal we slept with the windows open and were not woken by any traffic noise. Its also within walking distance of the local shops. Bed was very comfortable. I thought it could have had a little more storage. We had to keep our bags on the floor, along with the extra blankets that we took off the bed. Nowhere to put toiletries. Spa pool closed too early for us to make use of.
