Our 2 bedroom apartment on 1st floor was clean, well maintained and had a nice big spa bath. Nespresso coffee machine with plenty of capsules provided. Some noise at night, as this is in the centre of Ballina.

We really enjoyed our time at Riverside Apparrments. While maybe not 5 star at first glance we quickly felt at home and were reluctant to leave. Will certainly be looking at booking in the future.
