Andy, you sound too picky. I don't know what you have against Fred because I think he is a great person. Did you not pay for your accommodation on time or did you not clean up after yourself? Fred is a really great caretaker and I think he and Lilly do a wonderful job at the back packers to make... More

Oh dear! The place is totally full of French fruit pickers who literaly stay there for a year. Yes- they are in bed at 10.00 and up at 5.00am in the week, but at the weekend! An all night French Partyyyy! The rat poision in the kitchen should warn you - it's a wonder it hasn't been shut down. The... More

Me and my friends had arrived to work on a strawberry field as the hostel can find you work. My recommendation is you stay there until they get you some work and then leave, so long as the French manager FRED is there i would not stay any longer than you have to. At first he is welcoming but he... More

We stayed here for a couple of nights on our trip up the east coast and really enjoyed our stay.

Our room was clean and tidy and there were two kitchens for people to use which is really convenient. There's lots to do... More

Its a hostel and probably not the nicest one you will ever stay at. The place is not very clean, the managers were rude, the kitchen was dirty , the bins smelled, the rooms were small and messy. Budget Alright !! More

I have done alot of travelling and i always like to find the good things in something which quite often out-way the not so good things. But i must review this place as i think there were some not so good things there. When we stayed for a night (booked in for two nights) this year we arrived from a... More

The staff and people staying there (almost everybody is a fruitpicker) are french, nice, friendly and it is quiet after 10pm. The rooms are clean but this depends on the people you are staying with - would recommend private accomodation, because the fruitpicker have to get up at 5am, so it could disturb your sleep a bit. Bathrooms are alright,... More
