Wander Inn Bunbury Backpackers

I have been here for three months now and I would like to express my opinion about this hostel. I felt at home right away, it is very welcoming and warm. It is two minutes from the sea and allows you to enjoy beautiful sunsets. The owner, Ian, is truly great! He helped me find a job as quickly as possible and changed it for a better one as soon as he had the opportunity. He also allows you to bring various vans, which is fantastic for us backpackers without a car. I highly recommend it, you will have a great time!

Location is great, near the sea and the dolphin center and near Coles Is great for backpackers cause they offer cars and vans to go to work Room have AC which is great And there is free bread and coffee Service is great Is not perfect of course, but is great as a starting point. Everybody in the hostel is super friendly and informative so ask questions!

If you want bed bugs. Then this is the place for you. Nasty owners. I went for farm work and I was promised work on the farm only to get there and find out there isn’t any. They will lie to you and give you false hope. Hostel is always dead vibes. Full of old local ozzys there using it for cheap accommodation because they clearly can’t afford regular rent so they are rough people staying there for cheap rent. Don’t fall for their scam, they keep promising you work and to wait around until you stay there longer enough to realise it’s all BS. The bed bugs are real. Very rough and old run down place. The owner is very nasty. He always tries to defend himself in replies to the reviews as if you’ve never stayed there before. Or make up some random lie. The review are bad here for a reason believe them.

My friend stayed there for one week and nobody helped him with anything even tho he send emails and stuff. If You don’t mind sharing a very small room between 4 people go for it. $257 per week x 4 people? They make so much money out of one room. Careful

The staff is very helpful! Shortly after arriving I could already go for a job interview and got the work. The location is awesome, only a 5 min walk from the beach or restaurants and bars. If you want to stay and work in WA I can recommend this place.

Tidy rooms and communal areas with free bread all day. Just 2 minutes walk to the beach. What makes this place wonderful are the two caretakers. They are always happy to help and they prepare free BBQs every Saturday night.

Great hostel, just as much for relaxing as for working. It is right next to the beach and the centre of Bunbury. The owner helps you find work quickly and the caretakers are top notch. I highly recommend it.

I called and asked for help locating someone who might be interested in a day job. The hostel staff couldnt have been more helpful and 15 minutes later I had a great fellow to help me out. Really appreciate the service provided.
