Arts Factory Lodge

Stayed here for 4 nights and was very happy with my decision. We ended up staying an extra night because it was so fun. The rooms are clean and have good bathroom facilities. The beds are spacious and comfy. It was very sociable and the staff there are lovely, and helped me out whenever I needed it. 24 hour reception came in handy. Overall great hostel and great environment, would recommend for a great Byron experience.

Amazing hostel, beautiful group of staff that are well out together. Hostel provides a big range of activities for in and outside the hostel. From staying in a dorm to a tent the arts factory really facilitates all needs. Also very easy to make a good group of friends that you can call family by the time you leave, you’re missing out if you don’t stay here .

This hostel is the best I have ever been to. We have been for 9 nights at the PeeTee. The people who work there are very attentive and friendly! The best thing about this hostel and why I recommend it is because there are activities of all kinds every day (yoga, trivia, talks). I have never been to a place so liberal and artistic and I will definitely return here. If you are looking for a different experience, meeting people and being close to nature, without a doubt this hostel is perfect for you. I really enjoyed my stay, thank you very much Arts Factory Lodge team❤

I stayed at arts for just two days and had the most wonderful experience! Beautiful place filled with beautiful people. Could have easily stayed forever.
Nicole at the front desk was so helpful. She went above and beyond to help me and was so kind. <

Friendly staff and accommodating venue. It was simple but complete. The other people renting were also friendly and made good company.
The kitchen area has what you need and provides several basins for washing up. The kitchen area had personality.

Great hostel with an authentic Byron Bay vibe. The hostel is set in an idyllic location outside Byron Bay and is within walking distance of the town and beaches.

The rooms were clean and there is a cafe on site . The vibe in the hostel is great and I really enjoyed their weekly talent show

Amazing hostel, lots of open and nice people, ideal for solo travelers that want to meet new people. The staff is very friendly as well, especially Liam who is always up for a chat. Will definitely come back!

Very nice hostel, with a great campsite and a nice surf vibe. I booked it over a surf school and lived in a small tipi, which was a new experience. Nicole at the reception was lovely and really helpful! Would recommend it definitely!

Arrived to Byron and drove straight to the arts factory, met the wonderful receptionist Nicole who showed us kindness and helped book a room at peak season time, great service and beautiful resort.
Most def coming back!

Edit:
Had asked for some advice after wanting to check out, Nicole once again helped us, we got another nights stay and great ideas for things to do in Byron.

Incredible place where beautiful like minded people come to create and make beautiful connections.
The receptionists and managers are also amazing and thoughtful people who see this place as more than just a job.

This place was my home for three month and it was the best time of my life! 🌈🌞
You should stay here for the vibe, the openminded, creative and free spirited people and the AMAZING talentshow (every Monday talented people perform on stage and Cockatoo Paul sings his legendary songs). It’s very easy too meet new people through participating in one of the many workshops (Yoga, bush tucker walks, fire making, art, women’s circle, the list goes on) or just walking up to someone in mainland or the jungle hut. I made some great friends here!
I stayed in a privat room, one of the teepees, a ten person dorm, the females only dorm and -my personal highlight- at the campground. All rooms were clean and mostly tidy. The kitchen isn’t very well equipped and after rush hour very messy but the staff does their best to clean it up.
Be aware of the bushturkeys that will steal your food if you don’t put it away properly or leave your plate unattended for too long. The staff is so nice and helpful, they patiently answered all of the questions I had.
There’s a nice on-side café with delicious treats and good coffee.
The walk into town takes about 10 minutes, 20 to the beach. In town you’ll always recognise the people from the arts: keep your eyes open for barefooted hippies. Then again that’s true for most folks in Byron.
Now go stay at the arts factory but be careful: you might transform into your truest self 💜

This place is a true hostel. If you want a hotel-like experience don’t stay here but if you’re looking for a cool, artsy, hippie and beachy atmosphere this is the place. There’s no ac anywhere but the teepees get cool at night and have fans. Staying in a teepee was a cool experience as well. You’re really immersed in nature here, surrounded by trees, some water, birds and lizards, etc. It’s a really cool vibe only 10-20min walk to town and the beach. Everyone here is very kind and welcoming and there’s a little cafe that has great food and is pretty much open all day.

The Arts Factory Lodge was wonderful!

I stayed in an island bedroom which gave me a peaceful and quiet space while the common areas were full of fun and interesting travellers and lots things to do! You will never be bored at the arts factory lodge!

The staff were nice and the culture and community was beautiful.

Would come back again!

Best place to stay in Byron, friendly staff. Look for the chef Sahar H he is amazing Cook and a kind heart Human. No complaints about, it’s pretty simple you get what you pay.

Arts factory is an amazing place with so much character. A perfect place to relax, vibe and enjoy Byron at with friendly staff and lots to do. Slightly out of Byron Bay but it really wasn’t a problem!

Came to Arts Factory Lodge on a whim during peak season and managed to lock in a private suite through Nicole, the front receptionist. She was super lovely and approachable and managed to get squeeze us in. Would highly recommend!

Verry Nice hostel! Nature, free and good vibes hostel ever! I stayed here for over a month! Highly recommend to pass by here! Take a nice coffee at the cafe!

Had an awesome time staying here! Connor, Marielle, Simone and Michael are legends made me feel so welcome and went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable.

Love the Arts Factory! Talent show was amazing… the place to be Monday night in Byron. Cockatoo Paul and Mr Pickles are the best

These guys are so accomodating, not only did they help us out with the booking but when we weren’t able to make it due to unforeseen circumstances, they gave us a full refund a day before we were meant to arrive. Ask for Miranda she’s an absolute queen.
