Ballina Beach Nature Resort

Ballina Beach Nature Resot is a true gem. It is in a beautiful location. Wonderful sized sites and amenities spaced out nicely to cater to the large area. Beach access and out of the hustle and bustle location makes it a perfect getaway. The new camp kitchen, pool and slides are a huge value add. Being pet friendly is an understatment. I was so impressed with how well the park catered to pet families. Ours loved it there and the vibe was awesome. The best thing about the place is the friendly atmosphere created by the staff. I mused while we were staying there that perhaps being privately owned allows for the persoanl touch many holiday parks lack. From the moment we arrived we felt welcome. Staff member Collin approched us to check we were all sorted, we had completed the online check in and thought reception would be closed when we arrived, so the warm welcome was apprciated. On the grounds we were always greeted by staff members Aaron and Matt (and another gentleman whos name I didn't catch but who worked hard to keep the pool clean and was engaging on our early morning walks with our dog). They were always friendly and polite and often checked in to see if we needed anything. Aaron made sure we had anything we asked for which made our stay seemless and enjoyable. This was impressive service as the park seemed to be very busy. Their energy and engagement is worth praising. Inside the reception/cafe (which has a great lunch and dinner menu and delicious coffee/chai) we were always greeted with smiles and wonderful service from Georgia who was an absolute delight! Georgia was able to build a raport with my whole family, meaning my kids felt safe approaching and asking for help from the staff - this is a huge blessing when on holidays as it meant we could relax! Ash and Collin were particularily helpful when I made a mistake changing my booking which lead to a premature moving of my caravan. Collin actually came and assisted me as my husband was off site and Ash checked in on me to make sure I was ok and all went smoothly. So many reasons I could keep typing to talk about why we loved this resort.

We booked an unpowered camping site. The space was great. It was both family and pet friendly (the reason for us choosing here). The kids loved the pool and slides, we had to talk them away from it to do other activities from time to time. As it's a nature reserve around the resort, if you want to take your doggie to the beach, it is not a far drive north (via ferry) or south to find one. Otherwise they had an offleash area for your fur baby if you don't want to move around. Being able to blend camping with available activities for the kids and some usual amenities (such as new shower block facilities and camp kitchen) made for such a great stay as we had a blended group of tent, trailer and cabin bookings. Reception/cafe staff were so lovely, friendly and helpful and essentials and good food available on site. We only had a couple nights, wish we could have stayed longer.

We booked Ballina Beach Nature Resort quite late and didn’t expect much, but it turned out to be a real hidden gem. We stayed in a cabin and found it clean and comfortable. There was plenty of hot water (though the water pressure could be better). The kids absolutely loved the water park — so much that we didn’t even get to try the carts! Staff at the café were helpful and friendly, and it was handy to be able to buy essentials on site. Easy access to the beach, an off-leash dog park, and so many beautiful beaches around Ballina to explore next time. A great, family-friendly stay — we’d love to come back.

We could not have been happier with our stay at this park. We had a great 2 sites. Best camp kitchen I have ever seen. Amenity block great. Pool & pool play area also another thumbs up. Only a short walk to the beach. The facilities really did impress and the kiosk was a star with Colin making everything on arrival so much easier and HIS Cointreau slushies are a must. Sit back and enjoy 🏝️ 🍹

We had an unpowered site at the back of the grounds which we loved. The pool, waterpark, carts, amenities and park in general was so much fun. All kept clean and tidy and great facilities - modern and clean. Lots for the kids to do and the beach nearby was stunning also. Beautiful parrots / Macaws in the trees. Cafe food and coffee was great and the staff were helpful and friendly. We definitely will be back and can’t wait for our next stay.
