BUG review
Wheatly Downs is a great little farm hostel in a small house with polished wooden floorboards and a cosy lounge and a small kitchen/dining area. The friendly manager knows a lot about the region and encourages you to get involved in farm activities.

About BUG's hostel reviews
This hostel was visited by one of BUG's team of hostel inspectors who write independent reviews and assess a star rating based on an objective assessment criteria.

We show up unannounced at hostels to write honest and unbiased hostel reviews. Many of BUG's reviews now feature videos and photo slideshows. BUG never receives payment for listing any establishment and BUG's researchers never accept free accommodation in exchange for favourable reviews.
