Before you read on, check out our guest's review......
"This is a brilliant apartment. It is ideally located on the Richmond River and is a short walk to the center of Ballina. The fittings and furnishings are all of the highest order with the beds being exceptionally comfortable. The kitchen appliances are all of high quality as is the crockery and glassware. We could not fault Villa Riviera in any way. The photos are a true reflection of the apartment which is often not the case. Do yourself a favor and book a week here!!"
Villa Riviera is a stunning, spacious split level river side apartment. Renovated and fully furnished in a comfortable contemporary style. Situated right on the beautiful Richmond River, it provides you with your own backyard beach. Watch the leisure craft, trawlers and nature pass you by from the outdoor dining area or upstairs parents retreat.
The galley kitchen is equipped with modern facilities including dishwasher and is open to the lounge/dining and balcony areas for easy entertaining. Stretch out on the expansive lounge suite and enjoy a movie on the large wall mounted flat screen TV with DVD. Dine inside or out, on either of the two comfortable dining suites - the choice is yours and if the river breeze isn't enough to cool you down reverse cycle air-conditioning is an option inside.
A second downstairs bathroom and a separate laundry comprising both washing machine and dryer are also provided.
The generous main bedroom features a luxurious king sized bed, wall mounted flat screen TV, reverse cycle air-conditioning and an over-sized window which stretch across the length of the entire room overlooking the Richmond River. A private lounge setting is also nestled next to the for a quiet cup of tea and a good book!
The roomy second bedroom is equipped with both a double and single bed with plenty of space to spare. Another large, flat screen TV is also wall mounted for the kids/another couple to enjoy also with reverse cycle air-conditioning.

Summary: The best place to relax & unwind. Situated on the river's edge, extremely quiet with great views. The only thing you supply is food & beverage. Locally fresh seafood is caught daily & can bought in the markets. Plenty eateries of all kinds. Also close to other notable towns.Seven days was not enough.
