Visiting Crystal Castle offers a plethora of attractions, including an organic café, psychic and astrological readings, crystal displays, a gift shop, and aura photography. However, the real highlight lies in its outdoor features. It's advisable to plan your visit on a sunny day to fully enjoy the lush gardens adorned with sculptures and rose quartz boulders. The premises boast an ancient labyrinth, ideal for calming both body and mind, a bamboo walk, a children's playground with complimentary face-painting on weekends, and the southern hemisphere's sole Buddhist stupa. Notably, this stupa, constructed in 2012, received blessings from the 14th Dalai Lama himself. Crystal Castle's outdoor wonders make it a must-visit destination in Mullumbimby.

여행 팁
놓치면 후회하는 장소/활동
Whale watching in the cooler months
Take a walk from either Ballina Lighthouse or Lennox Heads Surf Club - or take the tour boats to get up close and personal…
교통편
Car is the best option
We are only 10 mins from the main highway (Ballina BP), 5 mins out of Alstonville… so your own car is the best option. Public transport is available around the region - see Ballina Buslines.
준비물
Bring some farm shoes & raincoat
We are called the northern rivers for a reason! We are gorgeous and green year round - with the occasional sub-tropical storm. Umbrellas are available on request if needed.
