Welcome to the
Byron Bay Wildlife Sanctuary
A new chapter has begun and we are excited to share we are now known as the ‘Byron Bay Wildlife Sanctuary’, formerly known as ‘Macadamia Castle.’
Over the next 12 to 24 months you will see changes as we shift towards becoming a bio-park, with the priority to respect, protect and enjoy Australian Native Wildlife.
Working alongside our partners to increase awareness and preservation, this will include structural and aesthetic upgrades, as well as habitat advancements for resident wildlife.
We continue to offer an interactive wildlife experience, café, and unique retail, with a focus on locally produced and sustainable gifts.
