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.

One of the best stays in Australia
One of the best stays! The tents are beautiful and the shared facilities are very clean and tidy. Would recommend and stay again! You hear the sea in the night and have just a calm and relaxing stay.

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.

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)

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 Some of the things we felt needed were another bbq/camp kitchen, the bbq was outdated and 3 of the gas lines were blocked making us have to light them with a lighter and paper.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

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

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 :)
