79%  "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, and...
76%  "Hostel is probably the closest you can get to the big brother house. You work, eat, chill out, and sleep with the same people everyday so you become really close and the friends you make are friends for life! Staff helped us with everything we needed and we got a job on the first day of getting there. You can make good money if your in it to work hard! Bundaberg ain't the happiest of towns but...

74%  "The best working hostel in Bundaberg - This is the best working hostel in the whole of Bundaberg and well organized. The facilities are really good. But it is primarily a working hostel and therefore go there when you want to earn money. Please make it a point to call them before you go there. The nature of work depends upon weather and the seasonal nature of crops. I stayed there for four...

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...

72%  "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...
71%  "Why did it have to end so quickly! - I stayed at East Bundy back in June 2005 when it was still being renovated which meant awe inspiring showers, snug sleeping conditions, 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. Robbie that crazy old devil would act as if she had...
70%  "The best hostel/people i've ever met - Ended up staying in Federal for just over five months. Didnt think much of it at the start but it has def been my favourite experience in Australia. Staff are amazing, Belinda is mummy bear. They never see you stuck and did a lot for me, my sister, and my friends! Met the most amazing people that i hope are friends for life. Best hostel in Bundy, thats...
64%  "Money hungry C**** - I gave them 5 stars at being Excellent at screwing you over! If you want to be in a hostel run by a money hungry C*nt, this is the place for you. Dirty, filthy, uncleaned hole smelling like rotten seafood left in the sun." … "Wherever you do your fruit picking, whether it is for that extra cash or that extra year down under, the work and the hours aint gonna be great...
63%  "Very clean, awesome staff, and relaxed/comfortable atmosphere - I came to into the country with my expectations high and they were met and shown at this backpackers. they made me fit right in and would recommend it for sure. it set me up for a good grounding to continue my travels in the country!" … "The new management is fantastic. Friendly and cannot do enough to make sure our stay was...
48%  "It was good about fifteen years ago - I stayed there just when Bruce and his wife were running it about fifteen years ago. They were a lovely couple and the place was clean and you were never short of work. Sounds as if the place has gone really downhill." … "Not too bad - I'm not quite sure about the place. Don't remember much. I was too busy meeting people. They had quite strict rules...
45%  "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 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.
