The hostel has a modern fully equipped kitchen and dining room where students are provided with full board. Two qualified chefs prepare three meals per day for students. Breakfast alternates between a continental breakfast and cooked selection. Students are bussed to the hostel for lunch that consists of a choice between hot food or cold meat and salad.

Students are welcomed into community activities. Recreational activities available at the hostel include volleyball, tennis, darts, table tennis and a gymnasium currently being fitted. There are several common rooms and a fire pit for informal socialising.

Students boarding at the hostel are invited to bring their own horses and motorbikes for weekend entertainment. Regular socials and annual "Ball" allow College students to enjoy the company of other students from the District High School. Spring and Autumn Carnivals are held between the other residential agricultural colleges.
