Riviera Bed & Breakfast

Fantastic find on the Gold Coast for pet friendly accommodation! This is a true gem for those of us wishing to have the best of both worlds the Gold Coast has to offer. Loved the history and old world charm! Pool is delightful. The selling point was the French Chef who cooked crepes for Sunday breakfast watching the multiple species of birds trained to feed when we do at breakfast. Dogs loved the long walks, and we loved the privacy and peace of a comfortable night but wonderful natural delights in the light of day!

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.

Worst place to go: and the host are not welcoming at all. Strongly recommend never to go there. The host will now write an essay to this and mention how perfect they are but trust us they are not. Terrible WIFI my Optus with one bar was better. Not recommended

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 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 💕

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