Great people there but unfortunately found some bed bugs in my room. Maybe from a previous traveler but I ended up sleeping on the floor instead.

Such a lovely, hospitable, hostel. Had all the amenities I needed - and there was even a sink in the room I stayed in. It’s literally a 5 min walk to the beach as well, and is super convenient to get to especially if you are taking the Ferries or the bus into / out of Picton. Thank you for the hospitality! ❤️
