GOOD Based on 1031 reviews Posted on Google Ya-Chun Lin We've stayed at Ballina Beach Nature Resort several times because we love the beautiful scenery and peaceful atmosphere. This time, we booked the glamping tents because my sister and her family were visiting from Taiwan, and we wanted to share this amazing place with them. Unfortunately, due to severe weather conditions in Taiwan, their flights were cancelled, and we had to reschedule our trip. Colin was incredibly patient, understanding, and helpful throughout the process. He took the time to work with us and offered several alternative dates, making the whole experience stress-free. We truly appreciate Colin's excellent customer service and kindness. Thanks to his help, we're looking forward to giving my sister's family a wonderful stay at Ballina Beach Nature Resort. Thank you, Colin!Posted on Google Simon Stoddard Lovely place tucked away, very friendly and helpful. Definitely coming backPosted on Google Alyssa Norris We rang up to book a camp site, the lady who booked us in was absolutely lovely and it was quick and efficient. We only stayed for one night as we were just passing through but we wish we were staying for longer! The bathrooms and the camp kitchen was immaculate and overall really nice areas! We arrived late but it was still super easy finding our site and getting in!Posted on Google Greg Sanders We loved our stay in our luxury glamping tent. Ballina does winter so well! It’s a short stroll to the beach before breakfast for a walk to the southern breakwater where there was symphony of whales, dolphins and diving sea birds. The resort itself is dog friendly with many good pups around and there is a peaceful nature trail filled with native trees and birds everywhere. The staff are super friendly and make a great pizza and coffee.Posted on Google Jane Camilleri Beautiful spot. Loved our glamping tent. Bed super comfortable, big BBQ on deck. Great to hear the waves crashing overnight. Great shower too! Would recommendPosted on Google Monica Treble We recently stayed in one of the luxury glamping tents at Ballina Beach Nature Resort and had a fantastic experience. The tent was spacious, comfortable, air-conditioned and well equipped, offering the perfect balance between camping and luxury. The resort itself is surrounded by beautiful coastal bushland with easy access to the beach, creating a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. Staff were friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway close to nature without sacrificing comfort, I would highly recommend the luxury glamping tents. Would definitely stay again
