  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.

  • Manager Responded on 11/30/2025

    Hi Siobhan, Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the house and had a great stay. We’re excited to let you know that brand new outdoor furniture has just been delivered in the last week, so future guests can enjoy the outdoor spaces even more comfortably. We really appreciate your feedback and would love to welcome you back for another stay in the future! Stay Port Stephens Team

  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.

  Jodi K from Greater Geelong, Victoria recommends this vacation rental

  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.

  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.

  Our extended family had a lovely long weekend at Riviera. 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.

  Beautiful Modern Home .
  Very new and Clean.
  Fabulous location you can walk to all the beautiful cafes and restaurants.(A bit of a hill/stairs on the way home but great exercise)
  Our only hiccup was that the cleaner was still there cleaning at 3pm at Check In time - we had to go away and come back half hour later.
  And there is no Shampoo/Conditioner or Hair Dryer supplied - just thought that was a bit odd.
  But over all we thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay at the Beautiful Riviera.
