Weekend Trip to Trickling Waters Retreat
This glamping spot is truly one of the most beautiful places we’ve stayed. We were so pleasantly surprised by how thoughtfully Kat had provided everything needed for a luxurious camping experience.
Having power in the tent was a huge bonus, along with the large fridge, microwave, and fan. The fire being all set up and ready to go was such a lovely extra touch. The creek is absolutely stunning, surrounded by lush green grass, and the setting feels very private and peaceful.
The shower was amazing, and honestly, everything was just perfect. We would highly recommend this special place and will definitely be back.
Thank you, Kat, for making our stay so special. Your communication and the effort you put into creating Trickling Waters Glamping was truly exceptional.

Weekend Trip to Ballina Beach Nature Resort
Loved the “luxury swag” vibe at Ballina Beach Nature Resort! We stayed after a long road trip and it was exactly what we needed — minimalist, functional, yet cozy and comfortable with all the creature comforts. The amenities were spotless and well maintained. The water park was a big hit with my son, and having the beach just a short walk away made it even better. A perfect mix of nature, comfort, and family-friendly fun. Highly recommend! 🌊✨

This place is a little slice of paradise!
Perfect getaway with nothing overlooked!
Cleanliness, amenities and communication were fantastic. It was lovely to have some time away with family and disconnect - played games, talked and lazed on our floats in the rock pools!
I can see why it is called Trickling Waters and it was a beautiful sound to go to sleep and wake up too!!! Thanks so much Kat!

This glamping tent at Trickling waters was the most peaceful and calm place I’ve been in a long time. There really is a trickling stream! The buzz at dusk is a strange kind of deafening too (frogs, crickets, cicadas). I needed a place to decompress over the holidays and this place did not disappoint. All the privacy I needed but the hosts were just an inbox away if I needed anything at all. To top it off this place is dog friendly and the creek was a perfect cool off for mine!

We stayed in the ‘luxury swag’ and it was quite nice. It’s got a queen bed and a little kitchen area. The toilets are not too far of a walk. The cafe was great (only down side is that it’s only open fri-sat) and it is really away from everything so be sure to pack food, games etc! It is very family oriented which is great. Has a water play ground and a dog park which is fenced! We loved that we could take our puppy too. Overall a good experience
