Wow new beds and very clean
First stay here and was very impressed with the new owners they could not do enough for me and help was always at hand. The place was nice and clean. Lots of thanks go to the new owners John and Sue

Rundown
i met some great people there and had some of the best times of my life. work was always there but hard for the money and they charged you for the privilege! that was crap. the place was very rundown -- none of the doors fitted the frames, no air con in the main building where most people stayed, and the furniture and beds were all worn and dirty. it's a shame because as i said the backpackers and the people of mildura were the best. 1998 and 1999 -- happy days.

It was good.
When I stayed there in 2003 it was a lovely place. Ok, so the beds were sh*t and the place is falling apart, but it's the people who made it what it was.

Great time, amazing people, best friends
This place was my home for almost two years on and off, I spend a wonderful time, so much fun.

There is new managers and they are wonderful, they treat us as if their own children. the rooms and bathrooms are always clean. we sit around and talk and there's always work. we never get bored and i would never leave! if you been here with the old managers, come back, this time it's twice as better, my word to yours.

I've been in some flea infested shitholes in my time but this one was the absolute worst. Apart from the other backpackers i met during my stay there is absolutely nothing positive to say about the place. The managers are shitheads. May it burn down to the ground during the next fire season.

I wouldnt inflict this place on my worst enemy. Service was appalling and the managers were the worst people I've ever met in my whole life, (and i've been in prison). The bed was cold, cold, cold -- worse than when my girlfriend is mad with me, and was like lying on top of broken glass, (like when my girlfriend is mad with me!). Worse than that I came back to her infested with fleas, leprosy, and there was no love. I'm still on the couch. The managers lie about there being work and steal the free backpackers' wine cause they're money grabbing sh*ts! If you like self harm and want to lose your money -- this is the place for you!

This hostel is a sh*t hole, the place needs to be closed down, its dispicable-someone should get the health and safety inspectors out! I would rather have sh*t rubbed into my gums than stay here any longer than necessary. The owners make me want to vomit and i wish they would drown in my sick. They have absolutely no respect for people but are happy lil f***ers to take take take and give NOTHING back. Dont give them your money...just look at 90% of the reviews!!!!!

Sh*t hostel, beds where bad, I had to pay seven dollars for a drive to work, food got stolen all the time and the place was falling apart. I visited it end of 2005.

Had the best time of my life there. Came back several times. Ok, was in 1998 when they just opened. Feels like home

It is a bit of a let down — dirty, sh*t beds, ignorant people and the place stinks! We were promised work but didn't get any. It's a shame, as the manager is lovely.

Here you pay 120 per week plus driving, 5 per day of work. They need a little time to find you a job, but if you wait in this hostel a bit, they can find you a real good job. I mean a job with good pay because harvest jobs are all difficult for me. The manager is lovely and great. You can make many friends.

I stayed there for two weeks and felt like I had to suck up to the manager's ass to get a job. There are very limited jobs available and really poor pay. Don't ring the manager between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m., as it's her time with her family at home. Absolute CRAP!!!
