The stunning town of Picton, located in Marlborough South Island, New Zealand, is an exciting holiday destination for travellers. Whether you’re looking for an adventure or a relaxing weekend away, Picton has something for everyone to enjoy. With countless activities, attractions and sights to see, the only thing visitors need to decide is where to stay. For budget-minded travellers, hostels are an ideal accommodation option to consider when visiting Picton. In this blog post, we’ll take a look at why staying in a hostel may be the best choice when you’re planning a holiday in Picton.
The first benefit of staying in a hostel is the cost. Hostels, above all else, are a great way to save money on accommodation when travelling. If you're looking for a cheap and cheerful option, then a hostel is the perfect place to look. Prices for a stay are usually based on the length of time you require a room, rather than a nightly rate like you would pay for a hotel. For longer stays, you can often negotiate a deal to get a discount or a few extra amenities for free.
Another benefit of choosing hostels in Picton is the unique experience they offer. With tons of activities on offer, hostels are perfect for anyone looking to mingle, take part in some local activities, or just make some new friends. Hostels come with a community atmosphere that is unlike anything you’ll find in a hotel. And, with many hostels located either in the city centre or close to some of Picton's coolest attractions, they are in a convenient location to explore the many attractions the town has to offer.
Finally, hostels are a great choice because they are often equipped with fantastic amenities. Many hostels offer communal kitchen, free Wi-Fi, swimming pools and various other activities to keep you busy. Plus, for those travellers who are eco-minded, hostels also provide green energy sources such as solar, wind or geothermal energy, meaning that environmental responsibility is taken into account.
In conclusion, hostels are a fantastic option for travellers who are looking for accommodation in Picton. Whether you’re looking for a low-cost and convenient place to stay or to take advantage of the great amenities hostels offer, there are plenty of reasons why hostels should be top of your list when you’re planning your next holiday.
