Step into the enchanting world of Nimbin Candles, a true Northern Rivers icon and one of Australia's original makers of non-toxic, hand-dipped candles. Nestled in the colourful heart of Nimbin, this unique candle factory has been crafting beautiful, slow-burning, smokeless candles by hand for over 50 years.
Born from the creative spirit of the legendary Aquarius Festival, Nimbin Candles was founded to offer a safe, eco-friendly light source for use in caravans, tents, tepees, and tiny homes. Today, it continues that tradition – using vegetable-based dyes, no animal products, and time-honoured techniques that honour both craftsmanship and sustainability.
You'll get to witness Australia's only water-driven candle dipping deck, capable of producing up to 1,500 stunning taper candles at a time! It's a fascinating, almost hypnotic process that reflects the deep care and creativity behind each candle.
Come and discover how the candles are made and find out what major movies their beautiful candles have been featured in.
Nimbin Candles also host Visitor Information, where you can pick up free maps and guides to help you plan your journey through the region.
