Prema Shanti is a very special and peaceful place, surrounded by nature with no distractions from the external world. The accommodation reflects Mara and Janardhan's love and respect for the environment. It is solar-powered, energy-conserving and water conscious. Prema Shanti offers the opportunity to spend time with yourself - allowing you to explore yourself on a deeper level made possible... More

I have travelled the globe and what Prema Shanti offered me was such a unique holiday. Being in the heart of the rainforest with no hustle and bustle was so invigorating for the soul. The daily rituals of meditation and yoga classes, which catered for all levels, were of a high standard and completed this truly spiritual experience. I will... 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
