Having spent 3 months in Bundaberg definitely the place to stay is north bundy. I was told my first job wouldn't be anything great however i landed an hourly paid job straight away and was given plenty of work. The hostel itself is great and kept pretty clean. Could do with a little more storage space. The staff are heaps friendly and are willing to help where they can. I have made life long friends from this place.

Will come back for more work after this lot of travels.
I stayed in north bundy for the best 3 months of my life. Made some great friends and worked 7 days a week on some great farms (some not so great farms to). Looking back some amazing times where had in north bundy. I dont miss the 4am starts but the ppl where great the hostel was cool but it was the ppl that made mi experience so good and ill be coming back to save some money after I see some more of Australia

The management is the worst I've ever come across and I'm no newbie to hostels. The owner Steve is arrogant and rude. He has no respect for anyone and will constantly guarantee you hourly paid farm work is coming the following week, every week, until you realise like me that 4 weeks have passed and you are still ...read more
