BUG review
This old motel near K Mart has been converted into a hostel with self-contained units, each with a TV, fridge and en suite bathroom. The self-contained nature of the motel-style rooms can keep travellers in their rooms and away from the common areas like the fully-equipped kitchen, the covered outdoor area and the upstairs TV lounge and internet room.

staying at this hostel was one of the best times i had, the work that was provided was hard but rewarding and having an onsuite (spelling?) in the room was a luxury, and after the week was through we had friday night pizzas and barbeque along with booze, its an awsome place i made lots of friends and hope to go back there one day.. i reccomend it if your heading to Mildura!

I have travelled at length and have to say that this place is almost down there with third world. Give it a miss. We tried the Juicy Grape after one night at the Riviera.
