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.

The property was just so great for relaxing. Many diverse areas in and around the house and property to sit and chill or common areas to meet new people. Bed was so comfortable. Caroline and Robert are lovely hosts. Suggestion: send kids of to bed and pay the extra for the french (candlelight) dinner Robert prepares, don't forget to bring your own favourite bottle of wine. Robert a french chef loves to talk you through the meal preparation. Breakfasts are beautifully prepared and ample. We had no need to head out anywhere for the day, just relaxed around the pool, short walks and lounge around, perfect place to get away and chill. Thank you Caroline and Robert for a lovely weekend, we will be back.

This is the 3rd time i have stayed at the Riviera B and B. Robert and Caroline are the loveliest people you could meet. I'm always looked after as if i was part of the family!! The cleanliness and homliness of the property are 2nd to none. It is a breath of fresh air..the serene and tranquil setting of the property make it a wonderful place to relax or if you need to concentrate for work it is so quiet. From the chickens and ducks on the property to the wildlife you enjoy a lovely country feel while the shops are still close enough to access easily. My dog loves it too and is made as welcome as i am. This is my new home away from home..i've already booked to go back in December as i don't want to miss out!! Merci Caroline and Robert!!

The hosts had forgotten about our booking and we were not made to feel welcome at all even after it was verified. I was asked to provide my mobile no. so the other host could ring me because she "didn't know who I was". The facilities are run down, and our bed had a doona without a cover, the bins were unlined, and there was religious paraphernalia littering the establishment which made us uncomfortable. When we arrived back from our function, one of the hosts was sitting outside our room waiting, which was very intrusive. The room was stuffy and hot, with only a small fan and no security if the windows were open. The bathroom facilities were not completely functional, and after over-explanation by the hosts we were confused as to whether we were actually able to use the shower or not. Overall a very unpleasant experience and would not recommend to others.

Thank you Sara for your booking. I am sorry your comments were made without being privy to behind-the-scenes events. I no longer had access to bookings as my computer had crashed with a widespread windstorm on the Coast and I could not locate my data as my computer was with the Technician for more than 3 weeks. I, the hostess, was not present the weekend of your visit as I had to take an urgent flight interstate to atttend to a very unwell elderly parent. My mind was on the seriousness of her health. I had not informed my husband of your arrival as I no longer had access to that information on my computer. I was still scrambling to find whatever was able to be recuperated. Because of this I was not in a position to transfer any information to my 2019 diary. Hence, my uncertainty initially regarding your booking. I am sorry if you felt uncomfortable but I was simply sitting near your room writing a note to be put under your door on your return regarding your breakfast needs. The newly-renovated bathroom facilities were totally operational but were still being improved, hence the explanation. You may remember I offered a second fan (in the cupboard) for you but I noticed your disinterest. As doonas are not needed in summer, we do not provide them, hence, there was no doona but a bed cover placed over the sheets. I am sorry but I'm nott sure what facilities you are speaking about that are run down. Other reviews would not indicate this. Maybe you would like to email me with these details so we can look at this. We endeavour to maintain a high standard throughout our B&B so if there was some discrepancy, I am sorry but I was not aware of it. As you'd imagine, living in the bush we live differently to city-dwellers. It is a shame you didnt have time to enjoy the beauty of the bird-life, the bushland, the peace and quiet

Feel at home in paradise
Riviera B&B is a beautifully manicured piece of paradise, with butterflies, birds and lush greenery all around. The pool is beautifully kept and was a hit with my little man. Caroline and her family are genuine in their care and love for their home and this is easily felt. They also have a genuine warmth and care for their guests which allowed us and others staying there to feel welcome, relaxed and at home. Having breakfast served on the gorgeous deck upstairs each morning, looking over the pool and beyond, was also a real treat.

Charming accommodation in the Gold Coast Hinterlan
Riviera Bed and Breakfast was a wonderful choice for our short get away. The owners have a gift of making you feel welcome, our room was furnished tastefully in French countrystyle; a comfortable bed with good linen; the adjacent bathroom was squeaky clean and elegant, good fluffy towels. A large indoor area was available for guests to sit and relax, watch television, read or make a cup of coffee or tea.

Hinterland B&B
We thought that a B&B meant room and breakfast but after purchasing a night stay was sent an email to say that breakfast would be $10. Also we were offered dinner for $35pp ,one course and expected that at that price it would be a very flash dish but were presented with a plate of rice and french casserole and green beans that I would expect to pay about $14-$18 for.I was shocked to pay $70 for this meal.Very disappointed. the room was clean and comfortable but the light shade was broken and a folded bed was along the wall with a blanket thrown over it as if it was storage.Very nice friendly people and the surrounds were nice. We were told our room had been upgraded but then the host told us that she was trying to sort the issue of the toilet of one room being right next to the bedhead of our room. I had not heard the noise but my husband later told me he had heard the flushing and the people in the other ensuite.I do not think that is an upgrade.
Respuesta de caro el 29 ene. 2016
Thank you Mary for your comments. Yes, B&B does mean breakfast included and I offer this for a 2-night stay but for a 1-night stay there is an extra cost for my husbands French Speciality Breakfast which is of a higher quality than a continental. I believe this was indicated on your booking form before you arrived. I am sorry you were disappointed with the cost of the meal, even though I did explain to you in detail what was on offer. Robert prepares his French dinners from scratch and with quality ingredients. His French sauces are not made with any starch products but with vegetables so this is a much longer process and also healthier. Sorry about the broken light shade...with difficulty, I am trying to find a match to the other one Yes the folded bed is there for a child to use when necessary. Yes, your booking was for a guest-share bathroom and I upgraded you to a private bathroom, B&B is community living and it's true that sometimes there is more unexpected' interaction' in such a situation....

Dream Weekend
I don't believe I have ever been able to say that I truly enjoyed any hotel or B&B until my stay here. My girlfriend and I recently spent an amazing weekend in this beautiful old Queenslander. We were greeted by the beautiful owner Caroline and her son Stephano and immediately made to feel like one of the family. This was my girlfriends first time in a B&B and like me was blown away by the location and the hospitality. The room was beautiful and facilities first rate, breakfast on the balcony is a must, beautiful food and awesome company. Arrived as strangers but left as friends.

You know you will always be welcome to stay with us again when you are up this way again. So glad Steph could spoil you with his healthy morsels of tasty treats for supper! He had a ball! Hoping everything is going well for you. Thank you again for blessing us with your stay. Warm regards Caroline

Holiday from hell!
Booking was lost so had to spend first night at another place with no reception. Came back next day and had to wait 5 hours to get into room and had to listen to the owners bicker all day. Every time we tried to get a meal at the place the owner came up with a new excuse. 24 hours notice for dinner??? Are you kidding me?? I had to go to coles and buy $50 worth of food because the owner wouldn't feed us. She had overbearing rules and made us feel like an burden. We left for home 2 days early and told her to keep the money. I was happy to pay $220 to get as far away from her as possible. When I told the owner I was leaving all she cared about was booking the room for that night even though I had paid for 2 extra nights. We tried to be understanding at first and were happy to be mellow but she took advantage of our good nature. She constantly left the hotel unattended with guests running it. I was the only one around to greet new guests and had to explain to them I was not the owner. Its places like this that give Bed and breakfasts a bad name. Also she was going to charge us the same for dinner as weekends and even admitted to us she doesn't put in any effort on weekdays. Hope she goes out of business the way she abused our good nature.
Respuesta de Caroline el 16 abr. 2015
Yes, sorry Stephanie for the double booking & no wifi at replacement accommodation of which I wasn't aware. I'll know for the future. My son & I may have had a disagreement & yes, that was unfortunate but you were not here for long so it was hardly "all day". At our B&B meals are not automatically on offer. I do not remember refusing to feed you but French Meals are very time-consuming so they are ordered by arrangement only, with 24 hrs notice. It's true that our French Provincial Dinners, served on weekdays & weekends, are always the same price. You may remember that I did actually take your dinner order and had begun preparing it when you cancelled it because of your decision for any early departure. Each B&B has its own different services and I think this needs to be taken into consideration when looking at one's needs. Check-in is fr 3 pm, but Stephanie you arrived at 10 am, so yes, you had a 5 hr wait in beautiful surroundings for housekeeping to be done, including for your room to be ready but you decided to leave before evening so this was counted as 1 day's accommodation. Sorry for any misunderstanding but I spoke of re-booking your room that night so as to refund your money if booked. I left B&B to collect daughter from work only once (not constantly) & another guest arrived during that time who I had forewarned & who was OK about my fulfilling parental duties with my husband away. I don't believe there were any guests asked to 'run' our B&B in my absence. So, yes, Stephanie, your choice to cancel your booking did mean a loss of $99 (net rate for B&B operators) as I was not able to rebook your room as can sometimes be the case. Our check-in form with terms & conditions & which you signed clearly did state that 'there is no refund for time unused'. It's unfortunate that you didn't find at our B&B what you were looking for.
