Riviera - Panoramic Water Views In The Heart Of Nelson Bay

Riviera's peaceful location is only minutes walk from the heart of Nelson’s Bay vibrant town centre and popular marina. This impeccable, three bedroom, two bathroom, luxurious duplex accommodates up to six guests.

Riviera features an open plan, split level, lounge, dining and fully equipped kitchen, with soaring ceilings, all looking out to expansive water views. The lounge and dining room flow out onto a vast, fully secure, gated entertaining deck, with retractable shade awning, where the breath-taking views can be enjoyed while cooking on the BBQ, eating and drinking at the alfresco dining table.

Bedroom one has a king bed and spacious ensuite. Bedroom two has a queen bed and bedroom three has a solid white timber tri-bunk (double with single above).

Our experience of Riviera

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

Lovely house but needs a tweek

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is beautifully appointed and comfortable. The property manager would not provide the entry code until we were on-site at 10:30pm. It was hard to identify the right key box and the area was poorly lit. Disappointing that pictures were missing from several wall hooks. Only one towel each for 5 days was insufficient. There were no beach towels which we would have appreciated. Access is a bit tricky as has to be accessed by rear lane. Steps from the beach side require work so that they are safe to use. We didn't let these things spoil.our stay in this lovely house.

Could do with some sun loungers on the balcony for dinner. All the facilities but bring your own hair dryer ladies.

Reviewer Comments: Nice views but no access down to the water by the properties stairs which was 1 of the main reasons we booked that property. Couldn't fit our ranger 4wd in garage but no where else to park. Too expensive for what the property was but nice views

Holiday at Riviera

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. 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.

Great experience

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. 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.

Beautiful unit and view

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.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Amazing place, would stay here again for sure! The deck and surrounding outside area is starting to look a bit dated but inside was great and the view/location was something to behold. The kitchen is small but we can't fault the place at all, was a fantastic stay. Would love to visit again in future once the weather gets walmer, it was winter :-)

The View

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: You cannot beat this view!! Views of the Bay from every angle except for bedrooms. My Husband and I stayed here for 5 nights in May and could have stayed longer. Very clean apartment and styled in a hamptons theme. Carpet is a bit tired, but i am fussy. Balcony is large enough for a family bbq, but we enjoyed just sitting out there with a drink and watching all the boats come and go and the dolphins swim on occassion. The gas fire pit looked amazing on the balcony however, not sure if it worked and had no instructions.Fantastic position overlooking Nelson Bay, a road behind the apartment is a short walk to the beach and main town, we grabbed a coffee from town each morning.A beautiful apartment in a beautiful location. Shoal Bay Country Club for best meals.

I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice place to stay for the weekend, add was abit confusing with linen etc being included. Was a bit tricky to get to the parking and entrance as you can’t enter via Victoria Parade. The bed we slept in was quite hard and uncomfortable and there was a mug in the cupboard that hadn’t been washed. Great location though within walking distance to main harbor.

The apartment was exceptionally clean and comfortable, all modern fittings, beautifully styled and very true to the photos. The view from the deck is amazing. We were easily able to walk to Nelson Bay Beach, the Marina and surrounds. Everyone was happy and comfortable, from kids to grandparents! We did some cooking on the BBQ - beware there are next to no pantry items so bring your own if you plan to cook. Communication & responsiveness from the property manager was timely and efficient.
