Farmgate Backpackers

Bundaberg, QLD

Not rated yet. Stayed here? Rate it

A no-nonsense working hostel in the Bundaberg region built around one thing: getting backpackers into real seasonal farm work in one of Australia's biggest food-growing areas. Entry is invite-only with your job confirmed before you arrive, so it's aimed squarely at travellers serious about clocking their regional work days. Accommodation is cabins and camping, with tent campers especially welcome.

What your guests get on Matey

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.
