I have stayed in this place 3 times not because it has been my first option but because everything as full during my last minute trips to Austin. Pros: - breakfast included - parking included Cons: - EVERY TIME I make a reservation, they make it wrong. The first time they didn't reserve my room, the second one they call... More

A great place for a few days if you are looking to extend your yoga practice. Food was tasty and well prepared, rooms quite basic, but you only sleep in them, so ok. Visited by cassowary on site, so real bonus there. Look forward to my next visit.

I found this place on the net and thought it looked and sounded - from the descriptions on their own website - like a pretty up scale place to stay and get great yoga instruction there. When I got there I found it to be a rather basic, if not to say austere place, which is more like an ashram... More

Mara - the "Mother" of Prema Shanti gave me lots of tips and advice on how to get up to Prema Shanti so i felt really safe and looked after. Hired a cheap car in Cairns and an easy drive up. Loved the fact that the temple is deep in the ancient rainforest - nature is overwhealming, the peace is... More

Have returned to the city for four days now and have been asked by my friends why I look so relaxed and happy all the time, well I insisted that they have to go to Daintree forest and stay at Prema Shanti and find out what I’ve experienced to be like me. Even before I arrived, I got a friendly... More

Picture an uptight, burnt out Sydney girl. Yep that was me before Prema Shanti. Now picture a happy connected city chick who eats well and does yoga and meditation everyday. That's me after Prema Shanti. Mara and Janardan are beautiful people who keep the energy at Prema Shanti connected to Amma. The Divine mothers presence is powerful there. The best... More

I recently stayed here for several days thinking it would be a great base for exploring the Daintree. And yes, all of the headline attractions were nearby. But Prema Shanti was an extraordinary place in itself! The highlight of my stay ended up being the time I sent on site. I could tell I was in for something special when... More

Just returned from a fantastic retreat with Nikola Ellis at Prema Shanti. Great location for a retreat right in the middle of the rain forest. I visited the local water hole and came face to face with Mr and Mrs Cassowary. I loved the small rat kangaroos that come to feed each night. Mara and Janardhan are caring and nurturing... More
