Walkabout Backpackers

I'd definitely recommend this hostel if you're needing to get your three months farm work done. I was recommend the hostel by some girls I met in WA who had done their three months last year. They told me I'd get work and however long John would tell me I'd have to wait, that's how long I'd have to wait, which was bang on. My friend and I were told a week to ten days and managed to get work within a week. Speaking to other backpackers staying at other working hostels in town, they had to wait a lot longer and were more often than not given the run around.
It's one of the cleanest hostels I've ever stayed at- daily cleaning (incl. kitchen and bathrooms) plus a fortnightly deep cleaning of all rooms which also included steam cleaning of beds so there's never an issue with bed bugs etc.
Kitchens do get destroyed every night, but that's because it's a working hostel and after a solid day of farm work people can't be bothered to clean up after themselves, but the kitchen gets a massive spotless clean every morning. Plenty of fridge space and even includes ovens not just hobs!
It's a little further out of town than the other hostels but I liked it because it meant I didn't go in town as often and spend so much money! Plus management does shuttle runs to town to go to coles daily.
As for management I think they do a great job of making sure people don't kill themselves after smashing too much goon on a Friday night! They also make sure people keep the noise down when there's work the next morning so you can still get a good sleep before work. I for one was grateful for Sam! Absolute life saver! There's even an area at the hostel you can party at all hours no problem so you get the best of both worlds.
