About this apartment rental

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.

All windows in the apartment have both sheer and blackout curtains in case you want to enjoy a deep sleep in! You can travel light as pillows, linen, beach and bath towels are provided as well as shower wash.

We had a wonderful five nights at Villa Riviera with four adults and our Labrador. The river is right out the front of the apartment and it was so peaceful sitting there for breakfast and dinner seeing the fish and dolphins swimming nearby. Richo was incredibly helpful to deal with and made everything so easy. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend.

Loved our stay .. so did Gypsy the Jack Russell. So many thoughtful inclusions from ice in the freezer, lots of condiments, well stocked kitchen, comfy beds, bait and fishing rods !!. Beautiful location. Evening visitation from a family of dolphins. Thanks Richard, good of you to organise. If I had to choose what I would like to see included it would be a cheap hairdryer. We have no hesitation in recommending. Will return.
