Collin the manager was very helpful and provided excellent customer service. The property is clean and well maintained. We stayed in a luxury tent. The tent has a microwave and fridge but has no cooktop. Though there is a portable BBQ. My teenage boys love the water slides and pool onsite. I love the proximity to a quiet beach. My boys wanted to stay longer but we had work commitments. If you are coming from Ballina town centre, take the car ferry at Burns Point ferry to Ballina Beach Nature Resort - save you about 30 min drive. It is advisable to stock up some food at Ballina town centre before hopping onto the car ferry.

Paradise for young families

Great location for a young family getaway. Very close to a pristine beach, but the waterpark/pool area was even more appealing to the kids. Quiet (mostly) and pet friendly for those travelling with their furry friend. The plumbed gas Weber BBQ was ideal for an evening meal. Would recommend for couples with children or pets. Baby boomers might find it rather noisy and irritating.

It is a very remote place but has wonderful staff and nature. I had some issues with the keys but they were fixed right away. If you can provide towels dedicated to the swimming pool, that would be great, at least for guests staying at a cabin, villa, or tent which is not a camping site. Please consider.

Disliked: Staff & service
My first interaction with staff was entirely unhelpful. Expedia was advertising the prices in US$ but failed to let me know. I found out after i paid. The price went from $160 p/n to $275. When i contacted the property within 24 hrs, they told me only Expedia can help me. Expedia staff proceeded to try and reach the property to cancel the booking and waiver the charges so i could get my money back, apparently trying several times without a response. So i tried to reach them 3 times via email and tried to call but the calls were never picked up and emails were ignored. I'm sure you can imagine how uncomfortable I was when we arrived. Hoping to find myself overwhelmed with joy, i was disappointed to find many things that I didnt like. The tents are right next to each other. So you can hear every fart from your neighbour. The water smells like chlorine, so I suspect that it is treated water from the sewage plant. It was nice to have a dishwasher, but the plates are too big to fit, which we found pretty funny. The dog park is super stupidly boring and tiny. So it makes sense that people opted to walk their dogs around the resort instead, only, one of them took a dump on the ground in front of our tent. Being more earthy people, having access to the beach was nice, but the walk and bike routes are so short. Not even a stroll. And theu made it clear that i should never book through expedia again, and rather book directly. In that case, dont advertise through Expedia

Easy check in and exit, bed in our swag was comfortable, air conditioning was nice. Beaches were great, pool was nice. Was quiet and relaxing. Some of the things we felt needed were another bbq/camp kitchen, the bbq was outdated and 3 of the gas lines were blocked making us have to light them with a lighter and paper. The toilet paper in the ladies amenities weren't replaced often, and bins in the camp kitchen needed to be emptied more efficiently. The chef wasn't available one of the nights we were there allowing no food options. Overall we gave it a 3/5 star

The renovations to the pool and cafe are outstanding. Loved the new splash play area. We stayed in one of the brand new swags. Wow! I was so impressed. everything that you need besides a bathroom. The new bathroom amenities are sparkling and well lit at night so that was not a problem either. We will be back again soon.

What a fantastic place and great value. When this popped up I thought "that looks different". Almost new, presumably installed this season, the swag tents are luxurious, very comfy, come with small kitchenette ( kettle, toaster, fridge) Comfy queen size bed. Short walk to new facilities block with ample hot water. ( Could do with a sqeegy to clean the floor after showering)

Gorge stay

The Luxury Swags are brand new, well styled and well appointed (can still smell the timber - in a good way) and I really enjoyed my stay. The kitchenette is a tiny sink, fridge, toaster and kettle, so no microwave (but theres a camp kitchen on site with a microwave and gas bbq). Aircon made this accom comfortable even with the single degree nights. Amenities block for toilets and shower is a 2min walk away. Would recommend arriving in daylight as the sites and roads in the grounds are a little tricky to see, and the luxury swags are so new theyre not on the signs at after hours reception yet. Lovely bushland, very quiet, lots of birds and a soft sand walking track to enjoy. Take all your food as theres nothing around. Wish my stay had been longer.
