Ballina Beach Nature Resort

Beachfront nature resort on South Ballina with an on-site water park

Accommodations

Ballina Beach Nature Resort offers family rooms with balconies, private bathrooms, and garden or pool views, plus air-conditioning, a kitchenette, and a dining area. The property also provides Luxury Swag tents with queen beds, a fridge, toaster, and kettle, and a small deck for outdoor dining. Glamping tents come with a full-size fridge, dishwasher, microwave, and Weber BBQ for comfortable self-catering.

Family & Water Park

The resort has an on-site water park with slides and a children's pool, open daily from 8 am to 8 pm, providing supervised fun for all ages. A separate outdoor swimming pool and a children's playground complement the water park, while pedal cars and bikes are available for rent. The pool area includes sun loungers and beach chairs, and the dog park offers a fenced off-leash space for pets.

Dining

The on-site restaurant serves Australian cuisine for lunch and dinner, with breakfast available to order in the room. A coffee shop and snack bar provide additional dining options, and a shared kitchen is open for guest use. The cafe offers light meals and coffee, but its hours are limited, so stocking up at Ballina town center is advised before crossing the ferry.
