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

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.

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.

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.

Beautiful long weekend away. Staff were friendly and well mannered. The luxury tent that we stayed in was clean and fully equipped with everything. The property grounds were clean and tidy aswell. It’s maybe a 500m walk to the beach. The beach looked untouched and it was like we were the only people there. We could literally only see our footprints in the sand. It’s such a secluded area and that’s exactly what I was after. We saw DOZEN’s of Dolphin’s in the early afternoon while walking along the south wall and it made the weekend even better. Was not expecting to see it at all. The cafe is excellent aswell! Not a massive menu but definitely enough if you’re not that fussy. Breakfast, lunch and dinner options 👌 Maybe a tiny bit pricey in comparison to what I’m used to paying for the meals I bought but in saying that, they were delicious. Otherwise bring your own food and use the Weber BBQ out on the deck of your tent. It was absolutely faultless guys and I will definitely be returning! Thank you so much.
