Backpackers@1770

This is hostel accommodation so you will be staying in a dorm room that has an en-suite bathroom, and we have communal areas for everyone to enjoy! There is a living room area with a TV, big kitchen with seating areas, picnic bench area and a fire pit. It is a fun hostel where all staff take part in a wide range of activities, whether its going for a group surf, four-wheel driving, hiking, fire spinning on the beach or just hanging out having drinks; there will always be something for everyone. Its a sociable hostel so we encourage all staff and guests to interact!

Run by Oscar and Jazz with their side-kick pet dog Duke, Backpackers is a family owned business, which was bought in August 2015. There are three owners, Oscar and his parents Paul and Sharon. Oscar and his family have each had an extensive experience in travelling and still hold this passion. Since owning the hostel they have recreated the space and are still developing areas to complete their vision. Their vision is to have a hostel that has a chilled vibe, with artwork, eco-projects and the look of a bohemian travelling hostel. With their experience in travelling and passion for the environment, they have applied this in how they've created the hostel; they want to make it to feel like home for backpackers and give them a memorable travelling experience.

This place is truly amazing. I spent one month here and loved every moment of it. The vibes in the hostel are amazing, Agnes Water is a cute town and the people are absolutely incredible. The work was easy and shared with the other volunteers it was a lot of fun. After work i got to explore this cool place, go on walks with Duke (the dog), or just enjoy the time at the beach or hostel with the lovely people there. I had the best time volunteering here and for sure will be back one day. It is the right place if you’re looking for a place with good vibes, lovely people and beautiful nature. ♥️

I am so thankful that I was able to be a part of the wonderful volunteering crew. It is such a magical place and I met the loveliest and funniest people who made it very hard to leave. Therefore, I would absolutely recommend it to other people looking for close connections, a very chill vibe with a lot of goofiness and a bit of adventure. The work is exactly as stated and it is perfect to have a little routine while having a lot of leisure time.

Thank you to the wonderful managers Cormac, Cat and Abby.
