    The location and views were breathtaking, the bar was fabulous, and the staff were friendly. It was like being in the middle of nowhere while still having everything I needed. Loved it!

    Oh, just waiting an extra hour at checkout because it seems the staff operates on their own time. How quaint!

    I had a fabulous stay at the Wild Farm Backpackers. The location is amazing with fine views. Meeting different types of people was a highlight and the staff were very friendly. The bar was a fun place to hang out and the pizza was delicious. Despite some minor inconveniences like shared bathrooms and a busy kitchen, the overall experience was worth it. The road to get there was a bit challenging, but it added to the adventurous vibe. I highly recommend this place for its amazing surroundings and great atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this backpackers for a unique stay.

    Pros of my stay at this amazing backpackers included the delightful country feel, with friendly staff and adorable animals. I was greeted by two adorable dogs, although the third one was a bit unfriendly. The availability of a restaurant and the option to order delicious pizza made my stay even more enjoyable. The hot shower and comfortable bed were much appreciated after a long day. Lastly, the breathtaking view of the mountains and sea, along with the beautiful green surroundings, added to the overall charm of this incredible place.

    Let's talk about the bright side. We got great value for our money at Wild Farm Backpackers. The room was comfortable and the view from the hotel was amazing. The staff treated us with really good hospitality and made us feel at home. We would love to visit again.

    The breakfast experience could be improved with fresher condiment containers.

    The view at this backpackers is absolutely breathtaking! The sunrise and sunset are mind-blowing, making for the perfect photo opportunity. The bar has a super cool atmosphere and the in-house kitchen is convenient for ordering food and drinks. Plus, the self-accommodating kitchen is a great bonus for preparing your own meals. The private room we stayed in was clean and the showers had warm water - a huge plus during the winter. The people and locals who hang out here are really friendly and they have great suggestions for local activities. If you're in Wilderness, definitely stay here!

    * Stunning views: The farm is located on a hill with breathtaking views.

    Dog poop: Unfortunately, there was dog poop near my accommodation from the day I arrived.

    Always come back to this place, no regrets. Staff helped me find the way I needed. Perfect for me. Has everything I need: Wi-Fi, parking, kitchen, laundry, bar. Good activities: darts, billiards, hiking, cycling, and more. Going back for another city trip.

    I chose to stay at the Wild Farm Backpackers because of its proximity to the Wilderness National Park. I really wanted to explore the beautiful park and its trails, and this hotel was just a short drive away. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the property's offering of a paid airport shuttle service. This made my arrival and departure much more convenient and hassle-free. I also liked the fact that guests can prepare their meals in the shared/communal kitchen. It gave me the opportunity to save some money by cooking my own meals and also meet and interact with fellow travelers.

    I did not like anything. I never even made it past the gate.

    I recently stayed at Wild Farm Backpackers for one night and it was absolutely amazing. The secluded location up in the hills provided the most beautiful scenery and free-spirited vibes. The winding pass roads added to the sense of adventure, and the sunsets from the deck were simply breathtaking. The wood-fired pizza dinner on the terrace was spectacular, and the breakfasts were superb. The toast sandwiches were out of this world, and the animals on the property were a delightful addition.

    Can't recommend highly enough this hotel. The location, view, and staff were all amazing.
