Great place for an enjoyable stay in Applecross
A great find for an ideal place to stay for an enjoyable break in Applecross. The property is situated in a lovely area across the road from the Canning River and is close to shops, Raffles and Clancys Hotels , restaurants 24 hour IGA and is a short walk to public transport to either Perth or Fremantle. The views from the unit and the river foreshore are magnificent The owner Jim is a great communicator and source of information .He works around the place most of the time and is willing to answer any queries or assist with anything you may need. The property is more of a double motel suite than an apartment. 1 Be aware that access to the place is via a stairway which could be difficult for elderly people and for anyone with young children . 2.Whilst there are two bedrooms, there is no sitting room as such to sit down and watch tv . If these two matters are of no concern to you ,I suggest that if the property is available book it and do not look elsewhere .You will not be disappointed.

The property could have been rated 5 star if not for the cleanliness of the place. The owner stated that it was not a serviced property - which I understood was not cleaned during your stay but I expected it to be cleaned prior to renting whereas the owner thought you just took the place on as the last person left it, which in our case was filthy. It is a pity because the owner was very helpful, the location was great and at least we did leave it cleaner than when we arrived for the next person!!!! although cleaning was not part of my holiday plan.

Nice Family home for small family
The place was very nice and quiet. As owners said, good to walk up to the jetty to see the beautiful environment. The owner is very friendly, helpful and easy to communicate. It's easy access to main road and shops so, I would live to come back again to spend my holidays. Also, would live to recommend to others.

Stay
Didn’t receive much communication about our stay. I got to the front door with a quick text or the keypad when I arrived... With the kitchen space it was so doccukt to cook a meal with only 2 small pots/pans. No rubbish bins were provided during a 13 night stay. There was also 2 rats in the garden that kept us up at night time. Location excellent and views of city but the overall stay was too small, limited space and amenities. No water or milk provided in fridge, the cupboard space was practically missing. I would recommend this for just one person to live in. Other then that I would not return

Some valid comments Unit is set up for a holiday stay, well located, clean and tidy - and well described on the website Place left untidy and unclean - worst condition from the last 30 or 40 staying guests For these guests good luck with your next stayz and good luck to the owner who allows you to stay

The host is polite & communicative by all means. The flat ,It's more like a granny flat built in the second storey, on top of the owner's house, to enter to the flat you go all the way around the back of the house then you go up the stairs. It has Spacious cleaned 2 bathrooms & 2 medium-sized bedrooms connected by a narrow corridor from one side & a narrow kitchen & balcony on the other side. The balcony there is a must & fortunately is available. In general this accommodation is recommended, value for money which is located in a luxurious safe district. You would enjoy the river walk next to it. Only for claustrophobics, don't recommend it as the unit itself has narrow stairs & corridors & it is designed to be that way as it's built inside a bigger property. It is not a serviced apartment which means that guests are required to clean the property before leaving, unfortunately that may cause some problems.(we found out that the fridge was too stinky). The host left the air conditioner on before our check-in which was a very nice gesture on a scorching day. The free garage spot Also is a great bonus!

Pleasant stay
Our stay at Riviera Sunrise was very pleasant. Lovely area and views. I think the property would have been better with a living area instead of 2 bedrooms, but as a base, the place was lovely enough. Easy access to the city and the road network. Overall, would recommend. Jim, the manager was very helpful

Excellent location, basic needs
This is a two bedroom property in a fantastic location for taking beautiful and safe walks in the evening. The only let down is the fridge had only a bottle of ketchup and the milk was a carton of long life Soy milk and it had already been opened / used. So we didn't have any milk as expected but this was the only disappointment. There are excellent cafes near by which offer amazing breakfast too and the instructions left by the owners were detailed, thorough and included menus etc to a large number of local takeaways and restaurants.

Perfect location, Wonderfull host, Great price 😍
It took us a little while to get the bottom of exactly what this property offered due to 2 descriptions that didn’t quite line up and photos of a courtyard area with a BBQ, that is not really part of the holiday rental. There may have been laundry facilities available, if we had asked, but we didn’t find any. It is a bit of an unusual configuration of 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a small hallway-style kitchen (owner lives underneath) but it worked great for the 2 of us to spend a week exploring Perth without a car. Beautiful area. Very convenient. Jim was very accommodating and helpful while still giving us our privacy and space. We did the beaches (Cottesloe area), the Pinnacles (sunset dinner tour with afternoon sand boarding at Lancelin), Fremantle, Kings Park, Elizabeth Quay and Rottnest. All worked great from here 😊 We would have loved a couch to relax on and access to our TV subscriptions on the smart TV but no regrets on having booked this place.

This 2 bedroom (no lounge) stay was clean and comfortable with a good size tv and very accessible owner. We were offered the use of the bbq, but it rained or was too cool for that. The offer was appreciated. The kitchenette had the usual supplies and a big fridge. 500m to the bus stop and the Kinky Lizard cafe so all was good!

Functional place, great location close to the river, excellent comms with owner. In winter, cold outlook to the South, but 30seconds to sit in the sun by the river. Only suggestions: Has been set up as 2BR, but would benefit from one comfy chair / small couch to have a cuppa enjoying the view. Quick check to make sure previous people did actually clean their dishes before putting away.
