Hillston Backpackers

The Backpackers is located in town, easy access to shops, churches. Tula the manager has made a big change whilst managing. Around the whole area (rooms, cabins, dinning and rest rooms are clean) it's a quiet environment to be especially after long days of work.
The manager has made the Backpackers a friendly place to be with people from different culture backgrounds. It's one of the best Backpackers I've ever been to.

Anyone thinking of coming to Hillston for business long or short term or vacation I highly recommend you to stay at Hillston Backpackers.
Thank you Tula

Well hi everyone I’ve been here 2 months ago and it’s a very quite place here I love hillstone backpackers the service here was good and I like how Tulan managed this place because of him this place always look clean and neat even the rooms here a good too but it depends to those who looks after it so yeah I recommend this place for anyone who wants a place to stay here just hillstone backpackers

This place is very convenient and staff is very friendly always helping backpackers. I love the cabins, it's got toilets, shower, big fridge, TV, AC and heating. I felt it's like my home during my stay. Always it's good for long term stay. I always highly recommend this place to every one visit in Hillston. Trevor you are amazing and very helpful. Also I can't forget Manager John, he was a always nice to everyone and very friendly too. Actually I feel this place like my family place in Australia. Better, nice and very peaceful place in Hillston. All the best.

Honestly one of the best places to stay and meet the most incredible people. I would highly recommend. You never know the love of your life could actually be in Hillston.maybe ;)

Really good working hostel with a great manager. Try to get a cabine asap, the dorms are not really good for staying longer. You must also have a car cause trevor, the manager does not offer a lift or a hostel car. Had a good time there while working on an almond farm! Thanks Trevor!

Backpackers there are amazing however bed bugs issue it still there. I'm was previously in dorm 3 alone, although it was sort of good for privacy as the cabins are full, you won't be totally alone at night, if you get what i mean.so don't forget to check your beds everyday.

P. S, hostel isn't always the cheapest, walk and ask around, it's a small town. Good luck

Good accomodation and good price (180$ per Week)

Nice people too and they get you a job

Really lovely place! I stayed 5 weeks and met super cool people and had a lot of fun. The management is really nice to you and always try to find you work. Go get a cabin, the privacy and own bathroom is totally worth it. Besides Hillston is a small town with two pubs, so you can save money. Though with the right group of people you can still have epic partys! Can definitely recommend this place and hope to come back in June 2019!

After 8 hours drive we arrive with the promise of a job agreed before, the owner answers me that I have to wait a lot. RAT in the kitchen that turn on your food, rotten showers and baths, shame, bastard masson, goodbye.

During my stay here, my bed, my friends beds and the beds they moved us two were bed bug ridden, management first tried to blame us, then admitted they had had them for a while.

From what I could see, no permanent measures were taken to exterminate the issue, they would just put new, PAYING customers into a room they knew was infested. The hostel as a whole is mediocre, dirty and poorly managed but full of friendly people (customers). The owners on the other hand are bitter and nasty and some of the behaviour exhibited during my visit was embarrassing and on the edge between worrying and disturbing.

My friends were only given a refund on the grounds they didn’t write reviews online. I signed no such bribe.

I wish half a star was possible.

This working hostel is amazing! Trevor and Paula made me feel welcome from the first minute I arrived, and I was able to find an interesting and well paid job thanks to them. There's everything you need in this hostel; Free wifi, a well-equipped kitchen, cozy rooms and of course the (locally) famous Shenanigan Pub where you can take a well deserved cold beer after a day at work. I would definitely stay here again, and recommend this hostel to anybody on a work holiday visa!: D

It's a really nice backpackers. Everything is clean and the owners are very nice. On top you have free wifi.

Best place ever for farm job. Hostel clean, awesome people, the owners and the manager are pretty nice.

THE best option in hillston, if you're a backpacker looking for farmwork. Free wifi, hot showers, private cabins with new mattresses. The owners are always willing to help you.
