Ballina Beach Nature Resort is in a wonderful location, away from all the busyness. Right near the river and the beach, it is the perfect place to stay to relax, recharge and explore. The roads are easy access, and the drive into Ballina is lovely. The food at the Turtle Cafe is delicious, and the pools are fantastic. There is a wonderful Bbq area, peddle go karts, a fenced in doggy area and the grounds are beautifully kept. Staff are friendly and helpful , and I will be highly recommending this place to others 💖

Staff were great. Gave really clear instructions for check in. Kids loved the pool and water play area! The cabin was clean and tidy, and just what we needed. We also love that it was close to a beach - though not patrolled. Would certainly come back again.

Ballina Beach Nature resort didn’t tell us the truth as we booked a cabin with a king bed and this was not supplied and said to contact Expedia as you had our money so they couldn’t give a refund We stayed only one night instead of 4, as we didn’t have the correct room Also they are certainly not a resort I have cancer and use a walker for any distance walking and their “path to the beach” was totally useless for me as my walker couldn’t fit through there track We feel like we have had the property misrepresented to us They have a non refundable policy, which is illegal according to the ACCC, which is why the will refund nothing Being pensioners and not in good health we were looking to a nice time not a nightmare, as this has now turned into So, I would not recommend this business to anyone and would give negative stars if possible This has now been going on for 5 days without resolution but I will take this further
