If I could give 6 stars I would. The staff is nice and knowledgeable. The gin is great. The property and story are awesome. Give yourself the time and do the tour, learn about this place. You will not regret it. This is such a gem! Make this place blow up so they can ship to Texas!

Our trip to Cape Byron Distillery was an absolute dream. Beautiful scenery, secluded, and the best customer service (as well as the most amazing whisky). Ramae was incredible- he took the time to explain the ins and outs of each tasting and shared the history of the distillery. We so appreciated the knowledge and hospitality- could have stayed and visited for days! Ramae also shared the details on the local koalas. We’ve lived in AUS for three years now and had never seen a koala in the wild until today! Definitely coming back. Some of the best whisky and views we’ve had 🥃

We stopped by Cape Byron Distillery on our way along Byron and had an incredible time! We did both the whisky and gin tastings, and while both were excellent, we personally enjoyed the gin tasting a bit more.

The whole experience was outstanding — the scenery is stunning, and the staff were extremely attentive, knowledgeable, and offered detailed explanations throughout. Both tastings were unique and memorable, and we left with a deeper appreciation for the craft. Highly recommended!

A wonderful and educational experience. Our group of four loved the walk through the rainforest with our cold gin and tonics. Our guide was fab - very knowledgeable and engaging. The gins are delicious and the cocktails such a great way to end the experience.

We sat down for an afternoon beverage at this lovely location. The table was on the balcony and surrounded by lovely rainforest. It was warm summers day and although there was no breeze on the balcony, the temperature was delightful.
We purchased an assortment of cocktails, as well as the gin flight. Everybody was thrilled with their drinks.
We also created a little cheese platter from local procure available to purchase on site.
A splendid afternoon enjoyed by all.

Percy Python didn’t slither in to join us. thankfully 😅

A real hidden gem. My wife and I visited on a wet Saturday afternoon and did the Rainforest Walk and Gin Tasting Tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and we found the tour to be quite informative. The gin tasting was great as well - and there are non alcoholic choices for the designated driver. Highly recommended.

Distillery with a great story of passion and vision. Loved the story, the tour and of course the gin. 🤩 Fun knowledgeable team certainly rounded out the experience and the deck is the best place for a cooling cocktail. So glad we visited !!!
