Dodgy owner, clean and tidy place Unfortunately the owners see backpackers as scum who only serve the purpose of giving them money. They advertise with 4-6 bed dorms, but when you arrive they put you in an 11 bed dorm, which becomes so smelly during the night and are very noisy because of the number of people, that it for people like me is impossible to sleep. How can they expect people to be fit for work without proper sleep? For this so luxurious 11 bed dorm they charge no less than 195 AUD a week, if you work more than 25 hours. Had a quick talk with a few of the inmates and some of them didn't even have a full-time after staying there for 1-2 months. They were just called in now and then when needed. One girl had a few times had trouble paying her rent, because she didn't get enough work to earn the money. Doesn't seem very serious for a working hostel. The reason to why I give 2 and not 1 star is because the place itself is nice and tidy. — Nick (2011-11-09) Great place, terrible owners Stayed at this hostel for a while, amazing place, but the owner has changed. The new one is dodgy, looking just for money and always trying to rip you off. Also, promises jobs that don't show up and you get stuck there because can't afford to go somewhere else. — Mark , Germany (2009-06-16) Excellent There are new owners of this backpackers now and they are great. Really really helpful in finding you work and it is just a great friendly place to stay with a great atmosphere. Absolutely loved my four-month stay here in early 2009. — Jana , Germany (2009-04-27) Had my best time in oz in this hostel i had the best time of my life in this hostel in sept. '06 till oct. '06. i met so many nice people and i loved the work at the potato farm. i' m still thinking of it where i'm sitting in germany for almost seven months without work. i will come back definitely! was the the best hostel in the end of my trip in oz. loved it. you think some farmers are not nice, go to other places and you will miss this place. also the times in the pub! — ulrike , german (2007-06-06) i stayed in this hostel for four weeks and it is for sure the best hostel i stayed in in australia! i can just recommend to go there! — mareike (2007-03-16) Stayed last year for about three weeks on the potato tractor. Good times we had. — mango (2006-05-14) We stayed in this sweet hostel for about 3-1/2 weeks and we had a great time. Thanks for making us feel like we were coming home after work!! We packed bananas and cleaned custard apples with a toothbrush — oh my goodness!! :o) Vera and Mike (the owners) are really special people! We are so glad that we met them!! Thanks for all!! — Nina & Melanie (2005-05-03) I stayed here for five weeks, harvested potatoes, and I loved it!! — Anonymous (2005-01-24) I stayed in Atherton Travellers Lodge for 3 weeks in October, 2000. I worked in the local farms during that time doing potato harvesting. There was a great atmosphere in the hostel and I made lots of new friends. I'd definitely recommend it. — Tricia Naughton, Ennis, Ireland. (2003-05-19)
