8/10 Very good

Comfy and safe. The problem was the night noise from neighbors’s cabin. They put an open air cinema with high volume. It was impossible even to talk or watch TV on my place. My small grandson couldn’t sleep.

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.

It was horrible and I really didn't like it at all.

10/10 Exceptional

Such a cool cabin. Really big and great with dogs as it was fully fenced. Great facilities.
DANNY, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The holiday park is nice overall, but be aware that they’re currently undergoing renovations. During the week, there’s a lot of activity with trucks constantly moving around, which didn’t feel very safe for the kids. We stayed in one of the cabins. It was clean and functional, but quite dated and could really use some upgrades to make it more comfortable. A decent spot if you're just looking for a place to stay, but probably better suited once the renovations are complete.

Taylor, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

8/10 Very good

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.
Peter, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Henrique, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

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
Sarah, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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
