Riviera Bed & Breakfast

Lovely queenslander villa! Lovely queenslander villa, good communication with the hosts and lovely surroundings. Close the parks, walking tracks and the bush. Great price!

Great hospitality! 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

Caroline and her husband were very welcoming and made us feel right at home during our weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed the home cooked breakfast and deliciously fresh brewed coffee. The setting is delightful amongst palms and native birds visiting on the deck. The room was spacious and had a private exit to the front veranda where I could relax with a book. The house has an old charm to it with nostalgic furniture and decorations. Riviera B&B is close to shops and other attractions on the Gold Coast. I highly recommend a visit to Riviera B&B.

Extremely friendly, generous and hospitable hosts. Charming rooms, modern facilities, beautiful pool and grounds. Authentic and delicious candlelit dinner made our evening perfect. A very relaxing time away in the countryside. Looking forward to visiting again soon!

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.
