Purpose-built workers' hostel on the corner of Herbert and Dalrymple Streets, arranging harvest jobs with local farmers for working-holiday visa holders. Courtesy transport runs to the farms and the beach.
Stayed here? Throw the first boomerang
Nobody has rated Bowen Backpackers yet. One question: would you stay again? Your rating helps the next matey pick a bed.
Matey is free for backpackers: the whole working-holiday year, organised. This is what your common room can point to instead of answering the same questions every day.
Farm ratings & pay reports
Guests rate the farms they work and share what they were paid, so the next one knows before taking the job.
The 88-day tracker
Log every shift, count down to the second-year visa, keep payslips and proof in one place.
Jobs & instant alerts
Farm and hospo roles pushed to guests the moment they're posted, including yours, free.
Harvest calendar
What's picking, where, and when, so guests plan the next block of work before this one ends.
Rides & trips
Who's driving north, who needs a lift: the community sorts its own transport.
Events & mates
Your weekly events promoted in-app, and a friend-finder so no one arrives alone.
We're inviting 20 founding hostels to join free, for good. No cost, no catch. Matey is funded later by verified service partners (tax agents, insurers), not by you.
Your page, already built
This is it. Approve it in 30 seconds. No forms, no setup.
Your events, promoted in-app
Trivia nights, BBQs, live music, pushed to travellers in your town.
Your guests' questions, answered
Where's the work? How does tax back work? Who's driving north? All in one place, with your name on it.
Your numbers, monthly
A simple email: how many travellers saw and tapped your page.
Claiming takes 30 seconds and it's free forever. We verify you manage Bowen Backpackers, then you can edit anything, add photos, and post events.
We'll email a one-tap confirmation to your hostel's address on file. Prefer we tweak the page first? Just reply to our email.
