Arts Factory Lodge Hostel in Byron Bay, Australia, Oceania

Welcome to the Arts Factory Backpackers Lodge. We invite you to come and relax in our enchanted 5 acre, subtropical haven. Laze by the pool, swing in the hammocks and soak up the friendly atmosphere for which we are universally famous.

The Arts Factory Lodge, a short 5 minute walk from Byron Bay's main beach and township. Originally an old piggery and the birthplace of 'fame' and 'spirit' of Byron, in the early 70s, many local and international artists, hippies and alternative lifestylers turned it into a creative 'Arts Factory'. Just as the dormitories and shared accommodation vary in style, so too do our doubles and twins.

They range from Island Bungalows or Gunyas, set on their own Island, to the Cozy Cubes which are indoor rooms with funky Mambo Art, a bar fridge. The Loveshack is a double room with its own bathroom facilities

The Arts Factory is a comfortable, friendly retreat offering groovy accommodation.
