  Well that's 88 days of farming done. That may have been the most difficult 4 months of my life, but was the most rewarding. After 4 days of strawberry planting, 41 days cherry tomatoes, 8 days of avocado picking, 1 day of potatoe picking and 1 of Dragon fruit cleaning, 4 days of mandarin picking and 29 days of ginger and potato packing I am fit to never step foot on a farm again. Thanks to everyone I met along the way, you made it so much easier!‎

  Hold you hostage as they control pay stubs and work. Work is not consistent as they say

  Out of all my travels in Australia and doing my farm work North Bundy would have to be best. I got my days done quickly even though it was hard work it never killed me. Cherry tomatoes was the worst but the best at the same time. No it a lot of money but its short days and they sign of full one plus you don't stay on that farm long. I did most of the days at a sweet potato farm and they were lovely so i really can't complain. Had the best time staying in the hostel. The staff and other backpackers were great!

  I am from Uk and stayed here for about three months. What I really loved the about the hostel is the rooms, with almost all amenities and was surprised by the prices they charged. Reasonable enough and what's the best thing is you get a variety of work and a free transport. Had an amazing, unforgettable experience here and would love to recommend anyone. Thanks!

  I struggled to find anything good with the place. Except the backpackers themselves. Filthy floors, kitchen full of dirty pots all the time, washing machine didn't clean clothes just made them worse. And as for the farm work, if you end up cherry picking which we all did, there's a woman called Jenny running the place, good luck! Never known anyone like it, incredibly rude, called people names, shouted at people, patronized almost everyone working there. It was like being back at school, was expected to know where to go and stand. Also many illegal workers there, all getting paid cash just to put that out there! Company keeps changing its name so I've been told.

  Terrible. No attempt to resolve issues. Overpriced.

  Bed bugs everywhere all the time. Infestations.

  Thefts. Huge drug and booze problem even though its a "dry hostel" . Avoid at all costs.
