"The best hostel on earth, cant wait to come back. Miss the fun i had and the great people. if you wanna stay in mildura you have to stay at the MCB! Manager Maria is the best." … "My first time ever in a hostel and I was pleasantly surprised. The manager when I first arived -- Mandy -- was filling in and made me feel very welcome. Her and her husband cooked food for us on several weekeds and made sure we had good jobs at a time of year when farm work was scarce (august/september). From very early on I was made to feel like a member of...  more »

"This was the absolute best hostel in Australia without a doubt. At first we booked to stay for three weeks than ended up staying for three months. With only four people to each room plus en suite bathrooms, TVs and bar fridges, we wish we came earlier, but the luxury didn't stop there. There was six days of work a week; everyone worked for the same company but in different locations. Everyone was on an hourly rate. The two of us were bringing home around $730 each, clear, which is about $1400 AUS. After work we all went back to the hostel...  more »

"Nice place - Had a lot of fun here and made some good friends and money. Great beds, clean. This was one of the best places I stayed while I was in oz." … "Ok - i stayed here for almost a month. it's a nice hostel, it's clean and the owner + his son are nice as well. it's just not a good working hostel. they haven't got enough contracts with farmers so that everyone in the hostel will find work and it is the most expensive hostel in mildura." … "Disorganised and chaotic! - On first impressions the place what nice and new and the...  more »

"I stayed at Zippy Koala (affiliated with Riverboat Bungalow) back in March 2005 and the owner's name wasn't Peter back then. This was a great hostel (with a free swimming pool and table tennis) and was cleaned daily by a professional cleaner. The management were really friendly and found me a great hourly rate job $13/hour. The hostel owners do not employ the backpackers — they connect them with other people needing workers. The work was great and the accommodation great value for money. They charged $132 per week but offered some discounts...  more »

"Great hostel, great parties, great jobs!!! - I visited oasis twice once when I was just working to get my visa extended and then again after I smashed the coast, I was broke and called vince from Brisbane -- he told me to come back, he would help me out and he did, even though it was off season and not much work was around he got me working!! When not working I had some great parties there from just a few beers at the bar to beach parties -- Friday nights at the setts, doms and o'malleys, so Many great nights. The friends I made at oasis I...  more »

"Dirty place, stupid owner! - I wouldn't recommend anyone to go to that place, the owner Peter Doody's only preoccupation is your money. He promised us good jobs, we worked sometimes 10 hours a day to get less than 50$. Also he'll make you work for farmers who have no respects and who'll treat you like a slave. Yelling at you all day long for a sh*tty pay at the end of the week. You'll get charged $10 per day for transportation and his vans are really not meant to be on the road! (some friends got fined by cops because the car at a broken...  more »

"Very homey - I came to know Vickey quite well over the three months there. I understand that there are people that complain, that is because they are lazy and try to rip off Vickey and don't want to work for their money to keep their jobs! i was orange packing and i made great money, was ready for work on time, and actually worked! Over that time i saw people come and go, some got fired because they partied too hard and couldn't be bothered working. Vickey was like a version of my mum, she invited me to dinner one night in her own home -- a...  more »
