Nimbin Backpackers (Granny's Farm) is a laid back hostel that fits in well with the slow lifestyle of Nimbin. Notorious for its marijuana culture, Nimbin attracts a unique set of like-minded travellers who do not anxiously seek the next wave of tourist excitement. These are the types of people you will find at Nimbin Backpackers and the atmosphere follows suit.
Just a 5 minute walk from the center of town, the hostel is well kept and spacious. The large dorm rooms have several beds and are equipped with air fans because they are not air conditioned. Also, travellers have the option of staying in a dorm room fashioned from an old train carriage.
The hostel is just outside of town in a picturesque rural setting and also hosts campground sites. It has a TV lounge, two swimming pools, a pool table and a small kitchen. The hostel owners have a relaxed approach and will accept payment for the rooms upon departure. As well, the owners will occasionally have free wine available to its guests. If you can't find anything else in Nimbin to entertain yourself with, there is a theatre located across the road from the hostel. Generally speaking, this is a good standard backpacker accommodation.
