2024 Reviews: Childers Eco-Lodge Reviews from Real Guests.

What a place. I spent 2.5 months at the lodge during my 88 days. It was a really lovely place to call home during that time. The facilities are good. Multiple showers, and a gym on site. The kitchen could be bigger for the number of backpackers but this also made for such a homely bussely feel in the evenings and on the weekends. I was lucky to have met some amazing people, one of which was the caretaker, Jeanie. She was a true legend and so caring to us all. She is the heart and soul of the lodge!!

I spent three months in the lodge during the avocado season. I loved the place! The facilities were good- including the gym, the chilled hammocks space, the party areas and the dorms. What really made the difference here were the people! A special mention to Jeanie, the hostel gem! She made the place feel homely and showed a caring attitude to all that entered the hostel. I’ve loved all of our chats together and on the hard farm-work days she’d always put a smile on my face!

Childers eco-lodge is the perfect place to connect with other backpackers and to have a great time. I lived in one of the dorm rooms for 5 weeks to work on a farm and was sad to leave the eco-lodge in the end. The location as well as the people made the stay perfect. Vanessa and her husband have created a beautiful place to work and relax near Childers!
