Reviewer Comments:
Such a beautiful, clean and modern holiday home. The location was very convenient as the beach, restaurants, cafes and shops were in walking distance. Not to mention the spectacular ocean views from the living area and balcony were absolutely stunning.
Very well appointed unit, large deck overlooking the bay and close to town. Beach access is not via stair at front of deck unfortunately so a walk around the back instead. Was very comfortable and enjoyed our brief stay.

The property was presented well, and had all you need for a great experience. I didn’t enjoy the sofas as they are old and uncomfortable The stairs from the property to the road below are unusable which is a disappointment as this was one of the reasons we booked.

No need to go abbreviations, just sit ac enjoy the view. But if you do want to venture out it's a short walk to restaurants cafes for some great meals. Unit is beautifully decorated, with comfortable bed and couches. Could do with some sun loungers on the balcony for dinner. All the facilities but bring your own hair dryer ladies.

Reviewer Comments:
I trust this message finds you well. I wanted to share some feedback based on our stay at Riviera. While we appreciate your hospitality, there are a few areas that need attention:Rubbish Under Lounge and Beds:We found some overlooked rubbish food packets under the lounge, and a dirty sock under the king bed (as we looked for our daughter’s toy), which is quite revolting if you think about it. A quick inspection around the place would have picked these up right away. Slippery Tiles: The tiles around the property are extremely slippery when wet. A sign would be helpful to notify guests. Worn Appearance: We noticed signs of wear and tear, suggesting a need for updates. Stains on the carpet, bedding, upholstery and spider webs on the ceiling impact the overall appearance of the property. It wasn’t representative of the images we based our booking on. Bathroom Amenities: The dispensers in one shower didn’t have body wash, and both the soap and conditioner in the ensuite were less than half-filled. Fully stocked amenities should be standard. Considering the amount we are paying for our stay, we were expecting a bit more attention to detail and a more personal touch.

Reviewer Comments:
Fabulous apartment with breathtaking views across Nelson Bay. The location really is second to none. The home is well equipped, clean and comfortable. Only downside was the gas tank (therefore hot water) running out. Advice from Stay Port Stephens staff was inaccurate and unhelpful - pretty much told to suck it up. Thankfully the usual property manager called us soon after and sorted it out immediately.
Overall is ok, view is nice but found lots of ants which leads to a beehives in the property balcony.

Place was spotless, interior of house was perfect. Well stocked kitchen & beds were very comfortable. The only downside was the outdoor furniture was breaking & splintering which was disappointing as we spent a lot of time on the deck so it wasn’t very pleasant to use. Other than that the stay was great.
Great location and views over Port Stephens with a superb deck for a seafood feast

A beautifully appointed luxury stay right across the road from the beach. Just down the road from the Marina and shops with a stunning view of the bay, this stay is perfectly located.
