Shambala is in a great spot just up from golden bays beaches. John is a very welcoming host who met us and showed us around as soon as we arrived. It is a really special place to stay with a lovely feel about it. There is meditation daily at 8:30am and yoga almost every other day. The Mussel Inn is definitely worth a visit (try the almond brownies!) and don’t miss heading across the road to a little pathway where there are hundreds of glow worms after dark!
