Shambhala @ Byron

Loved the lost in paradise design, with calming, healing vibes. Beach is breathtaking. I especially loved my yoga/ lounge room.

Could do with some minor maintenance like repairs to fly screens and refresh of bathroom etc.

The gardens were beautiful as was the beach. Location was great, staff were friendly and helpful.

Great location just next to the beach. We chose the location in the knowledge it was a short walk to town and didn’t regret our beach walks. The manager Luke was fantastic at making us feel welcomed. Comfortably practical, with a nice balcony next to the bedroom.

The cleanliness wasn’t fantastic, lots of dust and cobwebs. Whilst this was advertised as a private stay, people were still able to see in and many of the facilities were still shared. Whilst a few of the reviews mentioned outdated, I feel like the value for money was lower than other places we’ve stayed in.

Location is amazing and access to and from beach great when tide is out. So lovely to be right on the ocean.

It’s fallen a little into disrepair and feels a bit tired

Beachside location. Short drive into town. Jacuzzi, sauna and outdoor communal areas. Air con was good.

Property was a little dated. Could do with a bit of a makeover but nothing too serious.

Shambala is an absolute gem of a property set in a divine landscape emanating serenity and yet so close to the beach, restaurants and cafes. The

The only annoyance is the loud footsteps from the villa above. Perhaps some floor coverings upstairs would muffle the noise.

The location is amazing and being dog friendly was fantastic but the part was the staff. Luke at the team were brilliant.

It’s tired and in desperate need of a facelift.

Excellent location, private beach access & only 25-minute walk to Byron. Lovely staff & amenities. Perfect for a peaceful weekend away in Byron!

We absolutely loved the location. Very central to Byron and we loved the private access to belongil beach at the back. The sauna and steam room made our stay that extra nice. We loved everything about the place. Very zen and rainforesty feels at the entrance and garden and the beach at the back. Just perfect!

There was nothing to dislike.

Amazing location, on a very beautiful beach and an easy walk to town (15-20mins). Nice accommodation although a bit tired and quite small, but all good enough. Nice to have our own hot tub and the shared steam and sauna.

We stayed in the two bed place, was a bit small and a bit tired, but worth it for the amazing location.

Was a beautiful environment and we loved being so close to the beach

Could do with a few more spaces to hang towels inside

Shambala is like being in an oasis on your own, quiet, peaceful soo relaxing with your own jacuzzi and the steam room/sauna it has everything you need you don’t even have to leave the resort except for buying food and treats down at local Byron shops, that you wouldn’t know your so close to Byron Bay just a 15 min stroll down the beach to the action.

We have stayed for 3 years running and just booked for next year, I’d say there ain’t anything we don’t like and everything we do like!

Enjoyed the hot tub, steam room and sauna, easy access to the beach. Host was helpful to quickly change the gas as it ran out on our first night.

Inside the house wasn't clean (lots of cob webs, dirt on floor). Kitchen was not well stocked (no chux cloths, no oil or salt). In the mini fridge there is a very small freezer space at the top, however the freezer was broken. No where at all to hang towels - no place to dry bath towels or beach towels.

Rhi and Amanda were so lovely. The location is perfect. We were able to walk down the street to a spot where we had a nice lunch. A few mins drive into town too, also walkable. We stayed over a weekend in the Sarita. It was such a beautiful stay. The house exceeded our expectations and everyone was very happy with the stay and facilities (especially the sauna, private spa, steam room and outdoor showers)We really loved the oasis you created and we wish we could have stayed longer to unwind some more. Thanks again

The location

Dead cockroaches, not all lights worked, people outside talking, leaf blower in the early morning, not enough room to manouver between bed and door to get in and out comfortably. Not worth $1300 for 3 nights.

Treehouse Restaurant for breakfast only 5 minute walk

Great location, close to the beach and a short drive or walk into town

The steps to the beach has a very long drop which made it difficult for my elderly mum to go to the beach. Would recommend the property address this to make it safer to access the beach

This property is in a spectacular location, overlooking Belongil beach. They have set up great day beds to make the most of the view and sitting here with a glass of bubbles is actually the best. The gardens surrounding the apartments are beautiful and you feel like you've wandered in to Bali. The apartment has everything you could need- it's not super fancy but the location and gardens make up for it. We used the steam room, sauna and spa, which were a lovely little perk to the place.

The wifi doesn't work well, and there's minimal phone reception. Which didn't worry us much, as we were trying to switch off and relax, but if you needed to get something done online you'd probably need to sort something different out. The TV in the bedroom also didn't work- again, it didn't bother me, but some people might like to watch things at night.

This property is in a great location, with rustic charm.

The property is tired and bathrooms and kitchen in particular need renovating.

Aspect and location - beautiful location. Quirkiness, lush vegetation. Friendly welcome. Access to the beach. Design. Bed was huge and comfortable, air con worked well. Beautiful beach walk to Byron Bay.

Shanti’s living space was a little small for two couples (we were three people and just about fitted in). (The other apartments are roomier.) The equipment in the grounds (hammocks, beds) was rather worn. The beach is inaccessible when the tide is much beyond low.
