Arts Factory Backpackers Lodge - Byron Bay, Australia

Enjoy our enchanted 5-acre subtropical haven

In the 70’s many hippies, as well as local and international artists created the ‘Arts Factory’. In the 80’s it was an internationally recognized rock n' roll venue, the ‘birthplace’ of much of the ‘fame’ and ‘spirit’ of Byron Bay, and it still maintains that spirit today.

Located only 10 minutes walk from the beach we offer a wide range of Groovy Accommodation or Funky Abodes, ranging from Teepees, Island Bungalows, Dorms, Doubles and even Jungle Camping.

An essential part of the journey!
