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.

a very quiet place with new cabins and facilities
a ferry service takes you from Ballina to South Ballina and it runs until 12.15am which made it an enjoyable trip back into Ballina for dinner

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)

I had a lovely stay in a luxury glamping villa. It was excellent! A wonderful setup, spacious with great shower, comfortable bed & everything you need like a large fridge & aircon. I wish I could have stayed longer and had more time to explore.
Thanks to the after-hours manager who was extremely helpful in directing me on how to locate the keys for simple access to my villa after hours :)

Glamping experience over Long Weekend
Stay at Ballina Beach Nature Resort Luxury Glamping tents was a mix of both worlds. Very comfortable, nice, spacious, clean tents and only 1-2 mins walk to the white sandy quiet beach. Had terrible problem with loud noise of two separate large groups over two nights with one group's party went on until midnight whereas no loud noise is allowed after 10 pm.
