This place is somewhere you go for a drink. The food is not so bad but not the best. Did not have much more than the wedges and liked them quite a bit. A little noisy but that is only to be expected in a place like this.

After our stay at Murwillumbah I almost forgot to mention this place. Although we stayed at another pub in town where accommodation was cheaper, we were recommended The Riverview as a nice place for a relaxing drink or two. That was correct. It was a busy atmosphere. Very much a working person's atmosphere actually but you get your drinks and can step out on to an amazing deck right by the river. It was so calming and pleasant. The drinks were a little bit dearer than in the town centre pubs and unfortunately the barman poured a schooner of beer for my husband from the wrong tap - but we chose not to complain. It is one of those pubs that does not have (but may have now) bar eftpos, so off we trotted to the pub atm machine where we paid $2.50 to get cash out.
But having got cash, paid for drinks, it was quite lovely sat outside watching the water rippling past especially as the inside bar was quite noisy - but I think we had coincided our visit with end-of-working day male visitors enjoying a cold one before heading home! BTW: The outside area had a good, clean section which was okay for smokers.Did not experience their accommodation (a little on the expensive side) but have heard good things about their rooms and will probably book in there when we eventually travel back up north.
