Online reviews and past workers' experiences

Compiled from Indeed, Glassdoor, backpacker blogs and the news. Everything is a paraphrased summary — follow the links to read the originals.

Indeed has a company page for Freycinet Lodge (https://au.indeed.com/cmp/Freycinet-Lodge, found in search results), but its rating and reviews were not read because of Indeed's robots rules. No other past workers' accounts or public records were found; the web search quota ran out partway through this time, so the review search is incomplete.

Review summary last checked: 2026-10-07. Online reviews are personal experiences and may be out of date or not reflect the whole picture; ratings change over time, so the original sites prevail.

Not yet confirmed: Posting date unknown (the official site does not give one, and none was found on other sites); it is listed as this season's peak-season hiring because the ad explicitly seeks people to "start immediately" and to "start in early/mid November", and the official site still shows it as open today.; Accommodation and meal costs not stated.; Pay and the applicable Award / enterprise agreement are not stated; shown here as the Hospitality Award, which generally applies to hospitality.; It does not say whether Working Holiday visa holders are accepted.; Coordinates use the centre of the Coles Bay area; the resort is inside the national park.; The Indeed reviews page is a link found in search results; its content was not read because of Indeed's robots rules.; Posting date: the NRMA careers page shows no posting date; judging by the job ID it was probably posted before mid-August 2026, but it was still listed on 2026-10-07.
