Bicheno Backpackers
Bicheno, TAS
Long-running east coast hostel a short stroll from Waubs Beach and the Bicheno blowhole, spread across mural-painted houses with two full kitchens. A handy base for day trips to Freycinet and the Bay of Fires.
What your guests get on Matey
Matey is free for backpackers — the whole working-holiday year, organised. This is what your common room can point to instead of answering the same questions every day.
Farm reviews & real pay rates
Your guests see which farms actually pay award rates and treat workers right — before they take the job.
The 88-day tracker
Log every shift, count down to the second-year visa, keep payslips and proof in one place.
Jobs & instant alerts
Farm and hospo roles pushed to guests the moment they're posted — including yours, free.
Harvest calendar
What's picking, where, and when — so guests plan the next block of work before this one ends.
Rides & trips
Who's driving north, who needs a lift — the community sorts its own transport.
Events & mates
Your weekly events promoted in-app, and a friend-finder so no one arrives alone.
Your founding-hostel deal
