Carlton's Premier Gaming Frontier
Where Melbourne Comes to Play
RTX-powered battlestations, console pods, full-room VR and a craft espresso bar — all under one roof on Lygon Street. Drop in for an hour or stay for a tournament night.
Our Story
Built by gamers, for the Carlton community
NovaTreasureFrontier opened its doors on Lygon Street in 2019 with a simple idea: give Melbourne a proper place to game together. No sticky keyboards, no laggy machines — just immaculate hardware, fast fibre, and a room that feels like a clubhouse.
Today we run 32 high-refresh PC stations, four console lounges, two VR bays and a dedicated tournament stage. Whether you're grinding ranked, hosting a birthday, or trying VR for the first time, our crew keeps everything running smoothly from open to close.

Reviews
What our regulars say
Hands down the best rig setup in Melbourne. I booked a Marathon Pass for ranked grinding and didn't drop a single frame all afternoon. The espresso bar is a dangerous bonus.

Hosted my son's 13th here with the console lounge package. The staff sorted everything, the kids loved the VR bays, and clean-up wasn't my problem. We'll be back.

Came for the Sunday Smash bracket on a whim and got completely hooked. Friendly crowd, well-run brackets, and a legit stage. It feels like a proper community, not just an arcade.
