Arts Factory by Nomads is one of Australia's most unique hippie hostels, nestled on five acres of lush subtropical forest. Our vibrant accommodations include funky tepees, mixed dorms, and cozy private rooms, perfect for every traveler. What truly sets us apart are our free daily workshops. Join us for bush tucker walks, rejuvenating yoga sessions, fire-by-friction bracelet making, fire twirling, and our world-famous Monday night talent show. If you’re a free spirit—be it a hippie, artist, or musician—this is the place for you. Immerse yourself in nature and keep an eye out for local wildlife like brush turkeys, kookaburras, water dragons, wallabies, and, if you’re lucky, a koala or python! Our facilities feature a sun-drenched outdoor swimming pool, a volleyball court, pool tables, and a cozy fireplace for winter nights. Conveniently located just a 10-minute walk from the main bus stop, the beach, and local bars, restaurants, and Woolworths, you'll have everything you need for a memorable stay.
