Wind through the picturesque sugarcane fields of South Ballina where you will find us on our 60 acre property with spectacular ocean views, beautiful native bushland and Australian wildlife. Sugar Beach Ranch is one of the most secluded treasures in the Northern Rivers, only 40 mins from Byron Bay NSW and within 30 mins to Ballina, Bangalow and surrounding scenic waterfalls. The property offers a two-bedroom bungalow and a secluded campsite for self-contained campers, in addition to our other variety of services including retreats, equine therapy, weddings and venue hire. Our property is surrounded by the crystal clear ocean, a beautiful rural outlook and rainforest walks. Sugar Beach Ranch offers you a private and picturesque beachfront experience. Simply put it's ‘Nature’s Playground’. Sugar Beach Ranch is a special place... a place of relaxation and reflection. We want guests to enjoy the break away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Wake up to songs of native birds. Bring your own horse, guitar, or your writing book and loll away the hours nurturing your soul in paradise. All guests have shared access to the 15m resort-style magnesium pool and direct beach access from the property. We are a wildlife sanctuary and an operating farm with horses, chickens, ducks, pigeons and a peacock. There are dogs on the property to protect the chickens and other animals from predators, so please don’t bring any pets of your own. Enjoy Sugar Beach Ranch with your horse, bring them along for the holiday, and plenty of beach and trail rides. Paddock accommodation available. As we are located in the secluded and sleepy cane fields of South Ballina there is limited access to shops, cafes, restaurants, etc. The Burns Point Ferry is the best way to get to us, it runs from 5:30am until 12.30am daily, consistently running back and forth. An approx. 8min journey each way and costs $7.00 each way, payable by credit card only. So you can easily go into Ballina town for all shops, cafes, restaurants, etc. If the ferry isn't for you, you can drive to Ballina via Wardell on River Drive. The bungalow is located approx. 25m from the main residence, and the campsite is located approx. 300m from the main residence tucked away in the paddocks and forest. We are onsite and available if needed. Sugar Beach Ranch is an operating farm with staff onsite caring for animals and maintaining the grounds. All care is taken to ensure minimal disruption to guests. If you have a special occasion or event you are considering, please don’t hesitate to contact Stevey to discuss further.

Stevey was a wonderful host with an amazing property perfect for a getaway oasis, just a short drive to Ballina if you feel the need to grab a bite to eat at one of the many restaurants but once your back on the ranch feels like your in your own little slice of paradise. my toddler loved the whole range of friendly animals freely roaming around the property and having a ledge to stand on in the massive pool made it perfect for a great family holiday. walking distance to your own personal beach shared only with horses (and their riders) topped it right off. Recommend everybody tries Steveys to-die for banana bread, you won’t regret it

Stunning Property Amazing Host

What can I say? Absolutely stunning property right on the beach. Stevey is a dead set legend. She went the extra mile and offered us a spot on higher ground due to wet weather. That's the kind of person she is. A ripper property to relax and reset. Sunrises were unreal. We had km's of beach to ourselves. The swimming pool was heaven too. Mr Peacock (the pet peacock) was very handsome...a show stopper. Free range eggs were insane from very happy chickens. If you have been stressed and are looking to find yourself again, do yourself a favour and book Sugar Beach Ranch. Do it now!

Absolutely beautiful

Such a beautiful place. So secluded. Not very often you get the beach and horses in one. Not to mention all the bird life. The me at free range chickens ever. Get some eggs and definitely some banana bread. Stevey went out of her way to accommodate me. So appreciate her caring nature. Highly recommended.

Stevie’s property is magnificent, the beach was of course the highlight, miles of waves and white sand, the pool was also a hit with the grandchildren and was great for swimming when it got windy at the beach. They also loved the peacock and the visiting chickens. We had horses with us and they had a decent paddock, not just a horse yard. The weather was forecast to be nasty on the day we arrived, high winds and lots of rain so Stevie upgraded us from the secluded camping spot to a paddock up near the house. She’s a brilliant host, we found she just made everything stress free and easy.

Thanks for the great stay! The peacock and chickens were a hit with the kids! Pool was great too. Felt very secluded and private. Thank you Stevey.

Lovely spot! Easy to find using their directions, lovely spacious paddock if you want to spread out in the sun, and lots of forested patches for a bit more privacy. Great flat grassy surface was awesome for the tent, didn’t have to clear a thing. Great access to a lovely sandy secluded beach, great spot for a weekend getaway, and the hosts are lovely and generous with their time.
