The non-stoichiometric system Li<sub>0.8</sub>Ni<sub>0.6</sub>Sb<sub>0.4</sub>O<sub>2</sub> is a Li-deficient derivative of the zigzag honeycomb antiferromagnet Li<sub>3</sub>Ni<sub>2</sub>SbO<sub>6</sub>. Structural and magnetic properties of Li<sub>0.8</sub>Ni<sub>0.6</sub>Sb<sub>0.4</sub>O<sub>2</sub> were studied by means of X-ray diffraction, magnetic susceptibility, specific heat, and nuclear magnetic resonance measurements. Powder X-ray diffraction data shows the formation of a new phase, which is Sb-enriched and Li-deficient with respect to the structurally honeycomb-ordered Li<sub>3</sub>Ni<sub>2</sub>SbO<sub>6</sub>. This structural modification manifests in a drastic change of the magnetic properties in comparison to the stoichiometric partner. Bulk static (dc) magnetic susceptibility measurements show an overall antiferromagnetic interaction (<i>Θ</i> = −4 K) between Ni<sup>2+</sup> spins (<i>S</i> = 1), while dynamic (ac) susceptibility reveals a transition into a spin glass state at a freezing temperature <i>T</i><sub>SG</sub> ~ 8 K.
