BUG Review
This place caters to a lot of long-term guests on working holidays. The dorms are bare and boring, the kitchen is desperately in need of maintenance, and the common room is just like someone's messy living room. It doesn't offer much at all for facilities, either. But management is extremely friendly and can help you look for a job. It is a quiet homely spot if you want real no frills accommodation. Workers seem to love it as it is homely and quiet at night.
Price Dorm bed $25 Double room $60 Prices are in Australian dollars and are inclusive of all taxes.
Reception Open 9am-9pm daily

The Bluetongue is the most disgusting backpacker I ever set foot in and I've been travelling around Australia for the last four months. There is nothing good about that backpacker: unpractical narrow and very steep steps that lead to the office, carpet in the room that haven't been vacuum in what seem like months, very thin mattress and see-through sheets, small and very dirty kitchen, home size fridge that can hardly content everybody food and can't keep the food cool and, let not forget, only one toilet and two showers (well, apparently, there is 2 others bathrooms downstairs but the guy at the reception was to much in a hurry to go back to having beers with his mates in the backyard to tell me about it when I checked in). It was so disgusting that I decided to check out after one night but I didn't get a refund for the two other nights I already paid for!
