Riviera Bed & Breakfast

The WOTIF booking confirmation stated "The front desk is open daily from 10:00 AM - 10 PM" so I was shocked to be berated for being late on my arrival. While I had stated I would be there at 3pm, there were a number of delays during my trip. I did not appreciate the way I was spoken to on arrival (maybe organise self check-in like every other self-managed property in the world). As well I was probably able to find the bathroom and see there was a bath. A compendium would be more appropriate to assist guests. The property calls itself a "Bed and Breakfast which according to definition includes breakfast. It was one of the reasons I chose that property however the breakfast was only included for an extra payment. I consider that this is a "bait-and-switch" strategy and very misleading. I left without breakfast!!! The internet is not useable and I was unable to manage my emails/do anything on the net while at the property. There is no TV in the room. The room I stayed in was too small for 2 people. The door to the bathroom does not close so not much privacy if you are sharing with another person. I was told there is something wrong with the shower and I decided to take a bath. The blind to the bedroom closes but is almost impossible to open. During my stay I found the noise from other people who were staying to be quite loud esp in the room above me. Caroline did respond quickly and then the house was very pleasant. Overall it was expensive and poor value at $189.80.

My husband an I spent 4 nights at this B&B and loved it. It is so quite no traffic around the house. The bed was very comfortable and the room was very clean. We enjoyed the big fan over the bed though it had a well working aircon we did not need to use. The room was spacious and we could use the veranda too which we could access through a french door. Everything is lovely decorated in a French style. The best thing we could enjoy was the French Dinner we had at night on the veranda. It was such a delicious meal we haven't had vor ages. The Ratatouille and the French rice was divine also was the Apple Tart. We asked for a vegetarian meal and it was not problem at all. Robert the chef and host was so friendly and we had some interesting conversations as well as with his wife Caroline who was very friendly and helpful too. We also enjoyed the lounge room with the practical kitchen and the big fridge/freezer to prepare our lunch boxes for the days we went to the National Park and the beaches... Every thing is so close to this place, like beaches, national parks and towns... The wildlife (lots of birds and kangaroos) was also coming to this place. Whenever we want to go to the Gold Coast again, we will come back to Riviera B&B.

My husband and I absolutely loved staying here. The location is peaceful and beautiful and our hosts, the lovely Sweet Caroline and Robert are 2 of the most loveliest, warm and friendly people you could meet and they made our stay so enjoyable. Their home is warm and beautiful with beautiful old furniture through out, French doors that open up to the verandah or outside if downstairs. There are beautiful stained glass in some of the windows with pretty lace curtains, the bed looks lovely with the netting. There is a communal lounge with tv and massage chair, kitchen with stovetop, big fridge, microwave, coffee, tea, ect, this place is just lovely! Great place to get away for peace and quiet. There is a lovely pool area where you can swim or relax and a big closed in trampoline for the kids to play on and plenty of room for kids to run around outside. Robert makes the most amazing food, French omelettes Saturday morning that are so fluffy and delicious it's like eating a cloud, omelettes from Heaven 😄 and Sunday brekkie is a mountain of crepes to die for, mm mmmm ❤️ and if you want you can have an authentic delicious French 3 course meal, extra but absolutely worth it! I was sad to leave. We definitely highly recommend Riviera BnB! Thank you so much Sweet Caroline and Robert for making our stay such a happy one. Love and Blessings always 💕

This was an amazing B & B. We received personal attention from the owners eg some French style meals and pleasant conversation. The accomodation was charming and comfortable. A

We felt very welcomed by our hosts Caroline and Robert, and the property was just beautiful! We highly recommend to those looking for something away from the hustle and bustle of Surfers and looking for accommodation with a more personalised touch and old-world charm! The breakfast was truly sensational and set us up well for our day at Movie world! Caroline - just in case you forget - Bioglan 1500mg Glucosamine - works wonders :-) Lovely people and a great experience!

I felt safe whilst I stayed there and it was quiet and Nerang was only 15 mins away.

We stayed for 3 nights recently. Carline & Robert are welcoming and friendly hosts. Our room was spacious, comfortable, private, and immaculate. Our breakfasts were delicious; our Saturday dinner was more than excellent. Easy to find, wonderfully relaxing to stay at, with birds and animals to watch almost all day (even at breakfast!). We would recommend Riviera B&B to couples and families, and we'll be back there. Thanks to both of you for a marvellous experience.

Caroline was so welcoming and helpfull, she made the stay very special

Caroline and Robert made us very welcome. The property is so beautiful and quiet, away from suburban noise, but close enough to get to sporting facilities etc easily. We loved retreating there after busy, noisy days. I appreciated the guest lounge/kitchen area and being able to prepare packed lunches for my kids or play board games. The abundant bird life was beautiful. Finally, having French breakfasts complete with homemade jams and sauces was divine. Thank you for a lovely stay.
