Leanne Gill

We absolutely loved our trip amazing facilities so clean and fresh the camp kitchen was next level amazing huge powered sites lots of shade camp fires the pool was so pretty and kids loved it. We r thinking this will be our annual group trip it ticks all the boxes. Loved that our doggies could come to

Sandra Murray

We stayed for two nights in a brand new, very well equipped cabin. Turtles Café was great for an early morning barista-made coffee and kids were having a ball in the Waterpark. The guest laundry was super clean and with credit card enabled machines. The Resort is peaceful and away from the crowds, yet with easy access to town via the car ferry. A flat walk to both South Ballina Beach and Richmond River. Bird life and nature abounds. A fantastic spot to explore the Ballina area.

Mark Sutton

Beautiful location & great facilities. Super friendly staff & top choice. Beach easily walkable & river noit too far away. Great relaxing base to explore the area.

Natalee D

Jenna Arthurs

We stayed in a Luxury Glamping Tent and had a wonderful stay. All the amenities required for a simple and comfortable stay away. The reverse cycle air conditioner worked a treat, the Webber was awesome, shower amazing! A short stroll to the beach where we could see whales breaching. Our 3yo loved the water slides and so did we! Will definitely be back.
