Pay more for their best cabin. We tried and failed.
Pros:

The pool and grounds are lovely. Very much set in a native environment. It's a pet friendly park, however you may not take your domestic dog or cat outside the park grounds. They can't go for a walk to the river or the beach. Also, there's no access to the river.

Cons:

We paid for a Superior cabin, but it turned out to be the most basic of cabins. The floors we're dirty, also the range hood very dirty. The insect screen and front sliding doors both left a gap at the top allowing spiders and flies in. Dreadful old shower. Altogether very aged cabin. There were other new ones available and the park was practically empty, so we were disappointed they chose to put us in one of the worst base cabins. Nothing superior except for the towels and linens which were lovely. The Ferry was closed so we had to drive 35 minutes each way to get to Ballina.

Never again
Pros:

Was clean , quiet

Cons:

The property says it’s 2.6km from centre of Ballina. This is false , firstly the only way to the centre of Ballina without driving is via a ferry and this trip when the ferry is working is roughly 25-30 minutes. The road to get to the ferry is 4km long to begin with. As the ferry wasn’t working when I stayed it took 35 minutes to drive to town each way. Totally unexpected and unacceptable.

Good besides the vomiting neighbours..
Pros:

The glamping tent was pretty cool.. actually really loved the set up

Cons:

The only downside to the tents is the sound proofing..
listening to old man next door vomit his guts up for about a hr at 11pm wasn’t a vibe..
I don’t understand why you would put all the tents right next to each other like that. Definitely wouldn’t get another tent again due to the how close they are next to each other.
The set up is very awesome and I loved it.. just a little thought into the building of them should have been they probably are too close together.
