Stay Close to the Action with Drifter
After a full day of dancing, singing and soaking up the festival atmosphere, you’ll want somewhere comfortable to recharge.
Whether you’re travelling with your entire festival crew or heading to Spilt Milk solo, Drifter has accommodation to suit every style of traveller. From private rooms to social shared spaces, our properties are designed for groups of all sizes, couples and solo adventurers looking to meet fellow travellers.
Many guests make a weekend of it, using Drifter as their base to explore the local cafés, beaches, bars and attractions before and after the festival.
Make It More Than Just a Festival
Spilt Milk is more than a one-day event. It’s the perfect reason to explore a new city.
Spend the morning discovering local coffee spots, browse neighbourhood markets, enjoy a long lunch with friends or unwind after the festival before heading home. Extending your stay means you can experience the destination beyond the music and avoid rushing straight back after the final set.
