    Location, location, location. Situated right on the beach. It is difficult to find any accomodation on the beach, so this is an absolute diamond.

    My family and I had a fantastic time at Shambhala and thoroughly enjoyed everything it had to offer. From the stunning beachfront views to the exceptional facilities, our experience was unforgettable. The steam room was particularly impressive, among the best we've ever experienced, and the spa was exceptionally clean. The sauna was also amazing, and the house exuded positive energy. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the natural sunlight that filled the space throughout the day was beautiful. We highly recommend Shambhala to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. Rachael, our host and property caretaker, was incredibly friendly and accommodating.

    We would come back anytime and I highly appreciate this place. It is Heaven on Earth.
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Shanti Two-Bedroom Cottage
    • Stayed 5 nights

    Only 2 little things: 1) automatic coffee machine - Nespresso type or so, which was not there in the apartment and we were missing it 2) cleaning service during the stay - it is not automatically included. We stayed 5 nights and when we asked, there was no problem and property managers provided us with 1 cleaning during our stay. I think it could be included every other day or so without asking. These are very minor things considering the overall quality we received.

    Absolutely beautiful location, very private and romantic, amazing view, stunning beach and sea with almost no people on the beach during peak season after the New Year. Close to the city with many restaurants and also to many beautiful places and interesting activities where we went on trips (Crystal Castle, "TeaTrea" lake, Nimbin, Waterfalls,....). Very nice apartment, beautiful garden, very nice young ladies who take care about the property - Rachael and Mia, great communication, everything! There are only 4 apartments at Shambhala, beautifully natural (wood and glass and green everywhere), inspired by Bali. We even forgot some little stuff there and they sent it to us after our departure home (to another Australian City) with no problem (even on their own cost which we didn't expect at all). Free use of sauna and jacuzzi and your own barbecue place! We could stay longer at the last day of our stay since there was no other booking at that day, which we appreciated a lot. Overall, more than exceptional experience at Shambala Byron :)))

    Peaceful Paradise!

    Our stay at Shambhala was nothing short of spectacular! Shambhala itself is a haven of relaxation and luxury, but one of the biggest highlights of this place is its location. With private beach access, we had an awe-inspiring experience on our final day swimming with dolphins and fish in the glassy waters just outside of Shambhala. This private slice of paradise is within walking distance of the main town, yet enough distance away where there’s a sense of peace allowing for a restful night's sleep. We were pleasantly surprised by the amount of time we spent star-gazing on the daybeds, relaxing in the spa/sauna and embracing the comfort of our accommodation.. Amongst beautiful sunrise and sunset beach walks, swimming with dolphins and the exciting day/night life of Byron Bay's main town - Shambhala will be our choice of stay for any future visits to Byron Bay! Thankyou to the host for providing such a wonderful home away from home!

    It was a bit chilly at night, but there is a heater in each bedroom or reverse cycle airconditioning. The stairs down to the beach could use a second handrail.

    The location was secluded from the hustle and bustle of Byron Bay. The architecture of the villas and gardens was interesting. Large bathtub in the villa was nice and private hot tub outside was wonderful. Easy access to the beach but we enjoyed spending time on the property with our 2yo daughter. She loved the fish in the pond, the bush turkey wandering around the garden, and the kookaburras singing at sunset.
