Crystal Castle & Shambhala Gardens

Crystal Castle

A crystal-themed garden in the valley rainforest, with giant amethyst geodes, a Kalachakra stupa and Buddha statues, and a popular stop for the spiritual-wellness crowd.

Crystal Castle sits on a hillside on Monet Drive, south of Mullumbimby. The garden displays several amethyst geodes several metres tall, along with a Kalachakra stupa, blessing Buddha statues, a bamboo maze and rainforest walking tracks. It also offers wellness activities such as meditation and sound-bath sessions, plus a café. Admission costs around AUD 50–60, and advance booking of a time slot is often required. Opening hours are roughly 10:00–17:00. The site is about 25 km from Byron Bay, a drive of around 30 minutes.
