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

Crystal heaven - Sadly I went on a very hot day. Was absolutely beautiful. The layout was amazing. The staff simply beautiful, helpful and great to talk too. There were crystals layed out in the garden and created a beautiful harmony. Could have stayed for longer if the heat wasn't intense. Cafe lay out was very cool and make sure you have money to spend at the shop. Was in crystal heaven

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.
