Shambhala - Golden Bay - BBH Backpaker Accomodation

Accommodation

Cabin kitchen Shambhala has a variety of accommodation available. The main house has two share rooms (4 beds each) and a double, all with shared facilities. Another building up on the hill has four doubles/twins, with a separate kitchen. All rooms come with made-up beds (no bunks), and stunning views over the bay!

The main house has a comfortable lounge area with a fire-place and an interesting collection of English, Japanese and German language books. There is also a selection of board games, as well as a guitar and a piano for music lovers. On the verandah you can relax on a couch while admiring the panoramic ocean views. The spacious gardens are lovely to wander around, and the gazebo is a perfect spot for a BBQ-night under the stars.

Shambhala guest-house offers backpacker-style accommodation. In winter time we offer different kinds of yoga and meditation retreats. Groups are also welcome to use Shambhala in winter time.

Environmental-friendly technology

Main garden with sea viewShambhala promotes an environmental-friendly life-style by using alternative technology. We use solar power as a source of energy, and there is a rainwater collection system for our water supply. To heat the water we use a wet back (fire-heated), gas and solar energy.

There are also very efficient clivis multrum composting toilets and recycling for glass, metals and plastic. Food scraps are used for composting.
