Welcome to Childers Eco-lodge. A great place to do backpacker farm work

We offer plenty of outdoor space and clean modern facilities. This is a place where you can relax, surround yourself with the Aussie countryside, and save money while doing your Working Holiday Visa farm work.  

We are not a party place, and there are no shops or pubs nearby.  There is plenty to do around the area on your time off, especially if you have your own transport from beaches to bushwalks and even snorkelling or diving the Southern Great Barrier Reef.

  Childers Ecolodge is 8km north of Childers.  Please bring food with you for the first couple of days.

Dorms sleep 4 people in bunks.  All open onto patios and have bush views.  Fan and drawers, comfortable mattresses.  Free unlimited Wifi.

For couples wanting affordable privacy our double Eco-tents are glamping comfortably - Each tent is setup on it's own patio with an awning, bush views and seating.  Tents feature a double bed, bedside tables, drawers, solar lights, fan and usb charger. Fully mosquito screened they catch the breeze. Free unlimited Wifi.

If you are a backpacker looking to do fruit picking and farm work for a second year working holiday visa, we offer an honest work placement service and great hostel accommodation. If you are motivated and hard working there are opportunities to get your backpacker farm work visa days in one job.
