Cambrai Backpackers Hostel

My third time in Cambrai and like every time I enjoyed my stay so very much!! Bec and Adam are the most loveliest people that just care about you and help you solve all your problems. They and all the other lovely backpackers make a hostel feel like a home. It’s a place where you make so many special memories and the evening activities let you forget the sometimes hard work on the dairy farm. I will miss all the laughters, farm chats, cooking time together, karaoke nights and all the friends I made. I am super thankful to be part of the Cambrai family and can’t wait to open the gate to this beautiful place the next time I miss milking cows.

I stayed at Cambrai Hostel while doing my regional work and it ended up being a brilliant place to stay. Adam and Bec are genuinely lovely people. They make you feel welcome straight away and are always around to help you get settled and sorted with work. The hostel itself is clean, comfortable and has everything you need. The lounge and outdoor area are great for winding down after a long day. What really made it for me was the people. The other backpackers were easy to get along with and everyone mixes well. You end up cooking together, hanging out in the evenings and helping each other through the 88 days. It feels more like a your home than a hostel! This has been the best working hostel for backpackers I've been to in Australia!!

I had the pleasure of staying here for over 10 months and it's been the highlight of my time in Australia. Bec and Adam are so welcoming and helpful to all the backpackers and are always up for a chat, they've created the perfect environment for anyone to come in and feel at home right away. The rooms and facilities are excellent and all kept very clean, and the garden area at the front is always a great place to unwind after work when the weather is good. The absolute best place in Victoria and probably the country to do your regional work!

My girlfriend and I stayed at Cambrai Hostel for over three and a half months while completing our 88 days, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place. It’s such an inclusive and welcoming hostel where you instantly feel part of the community. The atmosphere is great, making it super easy to meet people and create friendships. Bec and Adam are incredibly helpful with anything you might need – whether it’s work, day-to-day things, or just general advice, they’re always there to support you. The hostel is clean, well-maintained, and really felt like a second home to us during our stay. We highly recommend Cambrai Hostel to anyone looking for a social, safe, and enjoyable place to stay while doing their farm work or just traveling through!

I had a good experience at this hostel. Bec and Adam are always around and really caring about the backpackers and the atmosphere. There are always activities going on, both during the week and on weekends, which makes it super easy to meet people. The kitchen is a bit small for the number of guests, but it’s manageable. During winter I got a bit cold because the heater sometimes broke or didn’t work when people left the doors open, but they always offered extra blankets or hot water bottles. Overall, the place is quite clean, and there’s a supermarket and a gym very close by, which is super convenient

In short, a very good place to stay, extend my visa, and make friends. I arrived to only do my 6-months, but ended up staying for 1 year and 5 months, haha. Bec and Adam are very friendly and kind. They're always available if you need any help or just want to chat. I will definitely come back soon!!!

The hostel is amazing, always clean, and there’s a garden where you can often enjoy live music events on weekends. There’s a supermarket right next to the hostel, and the bus stop to reach the train station is practically in front of it, which makes it easily accessible from the major cities. The owners, Bec and Adm, are always helpful and ready to assist you with anything you need.

Feel like home!! I got many great friends and valuable moments from Cambrai. Bec and Adam were always so nice to me throughout my three months of staying here.
