BUG Review
Aranga Backpackers is part of the sprawling Top 10 Holiday Park campgrounds, which include tent sites, cabins, and lots of campervans. The grounds are pretty nice, with the river running alongside, but the backpacker lodges have a rough and ready feel to them. There’s a large common room with a huge TV, but the couches and furniture are in disrepair. The kitchen isn’t in the greatest shape, either. Dorms themselves are basic and functional. That said, a major reason backpackers stay here is for work; Aranga finds them jobs and offers free transport to and from work. The staff seem friendly and helpful in looking after backpackers. Guests have free use of kayaks and there is also a volleyball net and a massive, truly impressive covered barbecue area.

Aranga backpackers is the best backpackers accomodation i have ever ever stayed at!!

Cheap cabin accomodation, great staff and great atmosphere! Made really good friends, and in 13 weeks there didnt meet a single person who was looking forward to leaving!! I could have stayed there for ever. Aranged work, and take u there. Help u out wherever possible, and the bbqs are great fun, i'll be going back next january, yeah, the work aint fun, but the hostel makes up for it!! Cheers peter, and the rest of the staff for a great time.

Sorry for the mess in D8 and D9!!! i'll be back!!
