Bundaberg Auberge de Jeunesses![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() "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...![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() "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 --...(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 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...
