What are your favourite things to do in both the Byron Bay and Melbourne areas?
I haven’t been to Melbourne yet, but the last time I was in Byron Bay I stayed at the Arts Factory and had an amazing time. It’s a hostel, and I had a great time sleeping in the tepee and the magic bus, but if shared housing is not your thing there’s also single and double rooms and these amazing bungalows along a little river path. They have art classes, a movie theater and a restaurant on the premises. It’s also only about a 10 minute walk to the beach and the cute little downtown where there is shopping and more restaurants. The walk up to the lighthouse is also a nice one, depending on the time of year. I could easily fill up a week in Byron by hanging on the beach and doing some activities at the Arts Factory. It’s very relaxing.
