Peaceful experience - There is a lot to see and experience so plan the whole day. The cafe is vegetarian and vegan only. The place is very peaceful and the crystals are amazing.

Unexpected passion and beauty in crystal - Beautiful experience; a labour of love by the owners, who've brought some of the largest crystals on the earth to this special piece of land in the Byron hinterlands. Hindu and Buddhist religious figures carved from volcano rock in Java and showcased surrounded by greenery.

Beautiful heart-warming experience - My 22yo daughter and I booked this and were thinking might be a bit so-so. We were so-so wrong. Beautiful location, lots to see, connect with and do. Crystals/formations are incredible. Ambling is best way to approach this experience. The crystal bowls sound experience lovely touch. The aura photo/reading experience left us in tears. Entry is a little expensive, but you could easily spend 3 to 4 hours there; it's worth it!

Fun at crystal Castle - What a fantastic place to visit, even though it was a very hot day, there were plenty of places to go to cool down but the crystals are just breathtaking

Bucket list but weather dependent and over priced - Was so beautiful and really intriguing the amount of amazing gems and nature is beautiful, but when it’s warm it’s hoot up there like so hot was not super enjoyable and the umbrellas don’t help much not misting fans or shade stops could be dangerous if you went great with walking heat etc. shops lovely experience was cool and definitely bucket list worthy great photos but pick over cast day and wear light clothes isn’t super big area to wonder around but is gorgeous for sure cafe is average

Pretty Crystals, bad drinks. - I really enjoyed my experience here, the crystals are beautiful and the relaxologu walk was really soothing. The only downside to my trip was the fact that the cafe didn’t have much to offer in the way of a cold drink from the fridge. It was overpriced and expensive.

Peaceful and serene 4 hours in absolute paradise. - The gardens and the setting of the restaurant/cafe are superb. We rated both the overall tour and the sound healing session highly (included in the hefty but justified admission fee, once you see the work that has gone into this place). The cafe has an exceptional view. BTW, crystals don't have to be your thing for this place to be thoroughly enjoyable. TIP: Arrive early, say 10.15am for a coffee, then catch the 11am tour and noon sound healing session. Lunch, then spend a couple of hours wandering the gardens. Book online to save.
