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.

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.
