 "A lovely little hostel with a really homely feel to it - more like going to stay with a relative. When we ran to book 2dorm beds and they found out we were a couple, they made it so we had a dorm to ourselves for our stay, which was a really nice touch. The people who run it are really nice and really make an effort to get to know all of their guests. Free breakfast, free tea and coffee,...
 "The Dingo Blue Backpackers is a working hostel. If you see this hostel for the first time you could think "oh no, I don't want to stay here," but after a while you would like it. The hostel is very simple, not so fancy like others in town -- but that is what makes the hostel so special. The Location Bundaberg is known as a harvest town, ideal for backpackers. The hostel is right in town...
(Bundaberg North)
 "Hey guys, i just can say that the grand is the best hostel in bundaberg, i stayed in some of them. anyway, the hostel is very clean except when the workers are coming home, but thats normal in a fruit picking hostel. every dorm got six big beds (except one ten-bed i think), one kitchen each room (except for three dorms, they share one, but a bigger one, so its still very good), and everyone...
 "I stayed at the Workers and Divers for seven months. The atmosphere was great and work was plenty. I would not hesitate to recommend this hostel to anyone." … "I stayed at this hostel for 5 months and left rich with money and friends. The friends you make are for life and the hostel has such a great atmosphere. The owner's help you in any way they can and they became like a family to me....
 "What can i say!!! Been there for a month and a half, what a great time i had. First they found me work on the first day i arrived. Second, it's the best backpacker i've been in australia. What a team and what a party place. I met loads of new friends over there and i'm going back cause i'm already out of money :) It's clean, new, great facilities, great rooms, and the pool is amazing. Nothing...
(Bargara Beach)
 "Fantastic party hostel on the beach. - We came here after staying in a brand new hostel in Bundaberg which was very impressive -- very boring and never gave us any work! We had work from the first day and then seven days a week for months! Nearly the entire eighty people from the hostel work on the same farm so we became like a very close family with daily war stories. The best part of this...
 "I stayed at East Bundy back in June 2005 when it was still being renovated which meant cold showers, cramped sleeping condition, general chaos -- and i loved every minute of it! The owners, Robbie and Rohan were as crazy as they come but were the best fun, regularly coming out drinking with us all. Also worth a mention is Warren -- dodgy facial hair but generally a great guy, Kimmie --...
 "I stayed almost four months and most of my friends in the hostel stayed even longer. I had the best time and it felt like a second home. Yes, it is not the cleanest hostel, yes, there are bad times, but all in all, it is great. It is really relaxing, not as structured as the other hostels. You sit in the beer garden, drink a beer and enjoy a good conversation, share your feelings and have a...
 "I think was there in 1997, June or July (if there is a Greyhound bus station in front the hostel it's the right one). I stayed around 4 months and met lots of people. I hope they still remember me. June, the hostel owner, Claudia, best dutch friend, etc...they may remember my name as "Lim"-korean boy... I really miss you... good luck in your life..." … "Excellent hostel - Bruce and June...
 "I stayed here for four months and it was the best place i've stayed in all over australia. emma was always friendly, sue was nice as long as you were willing to work. it was ideal as long as you're not out to booze up all the time, and save money. the place was always clean, and the people there were more than fantastic." … "Great - I stayed here for six months and had a great time. the...
 "While traveling around australia i found myself in some real dives. This was not one of them. even though i am now in a beautiful house and living the normal life again i miss everyone i met there and constantly think about the fun we all had. Pom looks after the ladies. a lot of them said he's like a second father and i think he should be commended for his hard work." … "When I got there...
 "I probably had one of my best times in Australia in this hostel. Management is absolutely great. They care a lot. If you ever want to work in Bundaberg, this is your place." … "I stayed in this hostel twice, totaling about four months altogether of work. It is basic but has such a good atmosphere, and this was the first time I'd ever stayed in a triple bunk bed! The hostel owners work...

Bundaberg Travel Tips & Suggestions

My nephew is having to have major surgery because some idiots decided to attack him after a night out in Bundaberg. A nineteen-year-old is now having to have his face rebuilt -- please stay away, the place is full of nutters. Maybe if people stop going there, something will get done to clean the place up.
Comment by chris
Bundaberg is a sh*thole. I've been cussed at, ripped off, and assaulted in Bundaberg. I witnessed my friend getting his skull cracked open here. half of the population consists of unemployed, violent, permanently drunk people. Not to mention this bloody gang who are roaming the streets looking for victims.
Comment by Mark
I used to live in Bundy. For some reason, even though I lived all over Australia, it's always been home. Parts of Bundy may be crap, but it's what you make of it, which is why I'm coming back to start my new life. And it's better than the Northern Territory.

Bundaberg isn't hillbilly!
Comment by New resident to Bundy
I came to Bundy with my family at the age of twelve for a family get away. At the time we lived in the middle of Brisbane and needed to get away. Mum had family here so we came to visit. I'm now at the age of twenty-nine and I am now living here with my twins and hubby. I moved here at the age of eighteen to settle down and start my life by myself. I got married at the beautiful Botanical Gardens. I recommend this place to anyone. Yes, it takes a while to find a job but it's worth the while.

I came to Bundy with my family for a month at the age of five -- I'm now fifteen and we are living here. It's such a beautiful place but you've just got to find the right hostel. I'm so glad we came and moved back here.

Bundy is a good place to live, work, and stay.
Comment by Steve
I had a fantastic time in Bundaberg learning to dive at Bundaberg Aqua Scuba. The instructors and staff were great and had loads of fun. Roger was awesome. I would recommend it to everyone -- it was by far the most memorable part of my time in Bundy.

Comment by Elizabeth
I recently stayed in Bundaberg and hated every minute. I learned to dive at Bundaberg Dive Academy and my instructor couldn't speak any English at all. The locals were vulgar.
Comment by Lynsey
I had a brill time in Bundy, mostly because I accepted that the work is hard and the hours long, but hey, that's what you're there for. Make the most of it while you're there, make loads of mates like I did, and take advantage of the central pub -- that's where all the magic happens.
Comment by Chuck Norris
The hostels here are enough to make a person puke. I would never go to Bundaberg again in my life!
Comment by Jeremire
I had a great time in Bundy learning to dive at aqua scuba. The hostels were great and my instructor Danny-boy rocks.

This place makes me want to puke. All the guys try to screw the girls. They make me sick. All a bunch of perverts.
Comment by Billybob
I would skip this sh*thole. It's dirty and the people are dickweeds.
Comment by Anonymous
This place sucks. The work is underpaid and the hostels are overpriced so it makes it hard to save.
Comment by Tim
I liked Bundy. The work and people were great.
Comment by marie
I have fantastic memories of Bundaberg and would go back. I loved the hillbilly feel of the town. Beats the cities any day. Work is hard but well worth the experience.
