We have been staying at some of the 'better places' at Nelson Bay for over 20 years and quite frankly non have been up to standard. We have often looked at this property wishing it was available for rent. Now we have stayed there, we certainly were not disappointed. Riviera was a breath of fresh air, being beautifully presented with high end finishes. The cleanliness of the property was exceptional to the extent that all of the windows and glass balustrade were spotless. Your cleaning crew should be commended! (Quite often in the past we have had to clean the outdoor areas before we could even use them). Information and check in procedure was very efficient.
