Spectacular as ever! 🙏🏽❤️ - I had heard that Crystal castle was for sale a while ago and was concerned that it wouldn’t be maintained at its current high calibration. I was so thrilled to see (after a few years away) that it has evolved and improved under the original ownership. My muscle testing tells me that his is the highest calibration garden venue open to the public in Australia. All visitors feel this whether they realise it or not and I think it nurtures us all in ways we don’t yet quite understand. Thank you so much for remaining such wonderful custodians for such a magnificent space.

Our journey to Byron Bay and its many treasures - Praying around the Kalachakra was my best experience. I felt peace and gratitude to be able to experience this wonderful place. I was also amazed at the owner Naren’s vision of creating a truly unique experience for their guests. I was also grateful for meeting this beautiful person on our trip there and sharing beautiful experiences and stories.

If you love crystals or gardens - Go! - This was one of the best experiences I’ve had at a themed destination. Beautiful gardens, wonderful spiritual experiences and the food was great too. Loved the sound healing in the peace dome.

Amazing experience - After sitting and meditating in the Amethyst crystal,listening to the singing bowls, walking through the bamboo listening to wildlife and walking on the reflexology stones. I found my inner child and I was at peace. I walked in stressed and walked out calm and refreshed.

Crystal cafe & gardens- lovely place to spend a few hours - Had a lovely afternoon at the crystal castle and gardens- many beautiful exhibits - the likes of which had not seen anywhere else on my travels. Very tranquil setting and even my teenager found it interesting. Lots of photo opportunities. Nice cafe with friendly staff and tasty food.. Good value for money- nice guide book included in entrance fee.

Superbly orchestrated piece of paradise - The entire place is magical from the friendly lovely staff to the incredible vision of the owners to create such beauty everywhere - to the glorious gardens so striking in their arrangement - to the cafe with it fabulous food - seriously the adaptogenic hit chocolate was the b3st drink ever - to the crystals everywhere along with the magnificent ancient statues. We were there for hours. Did everything. Bought crystals and loved our day. Left deeply grateful and full. Thank you xxx

Unique experience - A very unique experience. Friendly staff and an overall feeling of peace and tranquility as you meander around the grounds. A must visit.

The crystals are abundant! - So beautifully created, the gardens and walks are peaceful, the crystals are abundant and the views are gorgeous. It's worth a visit, but I wouldn't do it on a really hot day. If you're not vegetarian or can't live without meat, you may not like the food on offer in the cafe. Make sure you take a good look at some of the tables in the cafe and also the basins in the toilets, wow!

Beautiful experience - We visited midweek during August so there weren’t very many people there and no line ups for anything - unsure if this is different during other times of the year. Pricing was reasonable, lots of beautiful sites to see inside and plenty to do. We immersed ourselves in the crystal sound healing as well as a crystal intention experience. Special mention to Shannon-Jade who ran both of these meditations - she was amazing. Only downside was the menu offering at the cafe, could definitely have a bit more variety, aside from that though we had a lovely day and hope to return in the future. Definitely worth the trip if you’re planning on visiting Byron Bay.

An amazing experience, needs a tweak for marketing of price - Firstly I would like to say that I absolutely loved my time at Crystal Castle and the Shamballa Gardens. As an energy practitioner, yogi and crystal lover to experience, rest and radiate love for the wellbeing of all beings was so wonderful. The gardens are stunning to rest and radiate with the statues of intention and these crystals of wonderment is something I only dreamed of ever touching and communicating with. To know there is a Supta in the Southern Hemisphere with so much prayer for all of humanity and to have been blessed by the Dali Lama invokes such gratefulness and to know there are energy intentions to anchor the highest of Unconditional Love onto this beautiful planet and into humanity and all sentient beings. Thank you for being the caretakers of this beautiful space and place. My concern was the money side of things. When we looked on line on my phone it came up day pass $35 for each person. We had no intention of buying on line so did not continue further into the website for purchasing of tickets. When we arrived it was $49 on the advertising board for an adult. I commented to the lovely girl in the booth that the website needs to be updated to reflect the true cost. She said that the child’s price comes up and the full price is unable to be imbedded within the computer function to come as a first cost. I am a self employed person and have had a website and I know that this is absolutely untrue. It is an adult who drives and a child is there because of the adult. Be honest about the price right from the beginning as I know other people have made a complaint about this too. The people before us also questioned about the price. Please for your staff remedy this so the people you have working for you in the booth have a great experience in their job too. Remedy for all your visitors so there is honesty from the very beginning. Remedy for the locals who two have mentioned they do not take visitors there as the energy has changed and money does hold an energy exchange. We are moving from the time of Pisces to Aquarius and how money has been managed in the passed globally needs to find a new way of expression. I truly hope there can be a compromise for this amazing place to continue to flourish in unconditional love, abundance and be a shining star for the local people to bring all their visitors into Crystal Castle/Shamballa Gardens. For people to experience healing so they too can then inspire others to come to a place of pure Love. Hari Om Tat Sat Maree Strange
