I experienced a wonderful relaxing stay at a little oasis in the Gold Coast hinterland. A quirky combination of Parisian style, in a subtropical heritage Queenslander with beautiful grounds, kangaroos, colourful parrots with gardens surrounding a pool. The hosts Caroline and Robert were welcoming and created exceptional breakfasts both mornings, the week end breakfast was influenced by a little touch of France, coffee and delicious homemade treats.
AustraliaThe owners were very hospitable and lovely couple. Breakfast was nice on the deck served by the owners. Beautiful clean rooms
AustraliaThe location was superb for me as I love the bush, the birds came to the deck to be fed and obviously felt safe there. Another plus for me. I found it very peaceful there and slept like the proverbial ‘log’. Caroline and Robert were wonderful friendly and caring owners who wanted my stay to be a great experience and it was. I would certainly go there again if I was in the Gold Coast area of Queensland.
AustraliaThe place is beautiful. Caroline and Robert are lovely friendly people. A beautiful setting.
AustraliaThe hosts, Caroline and Robert were just the loveliest couple and they went out of their way to ensure were we comfortable and happy. I felt very cared for, will definitely be back and Robert's French crepes and homemade preserves were so delicious!! The location was perfect for as a a base to explore the surrounding countryside and National Parks and the grounds were lovely. It was very special to see all the wild birds and parrots and Robert definitely has a way with the Kookaburras! He was so sweet, kind and patient with them and they were very welcome extra breakfast guests.
AustraliaDinner and breakfast was superb. Caroline and her husband were the perfect hosts. They went over and above to make us comfortable as well as our fur babies
AustraliaRiviera is a peaceful tropical oasis so close to the coast. I had a wonderful rest and enjoyed the conversations with the hosts. I would gladly recommend it to anyone wanted to get away from stress or just enjoy nature with many different birds and wildlife.
AustraliaRobert is an amazing French chef. 8ncredible crepes, amazing dinner and outstanding desert! Oh, and the French coffee...mmmm. Loved the birdlife, both owners are just wonderful, very accommodating and will do whatever they can to make your stay wonderful. The home has a great big deck to enjoy bird feeding and ducks swimming in the ponds. Looking forward to returning with our friends.
AustraliaNice environment, good location and great hospitality from the hosts. Great breakfast!
AustraliaThe breakfast was delicious and well spread out. The location is ideal for anyone who loves wildlife and bush land. The company was beautiful and wonderful made very welcome like it was your own home.
