Across many reviews of Riverside Ocean Grove, guests highlight very clean rooms, friendly and efficient service, and generally quiet stays that represent good value, noting well-kept grounds and a comfortable, practical setup for short visits and family trips.

Sadly the pool isn't any good, has a hole, if we knew we would have booked somewhere else on a 30deg weekend. The shower leaked all over the bathroom floor But the rest of the property and stay was excellent, clean, lovely kept garden, sadly a dirty bbq which we didn't want to clean before use, not owners fault

Good location; quiet; friendly staff; good amenities; 5 mins drive from Ocean Grove main shopping/eating enclave. Room of average size but complex is newish and in good condition. Bed was on the firm side but not a worry to me; good sized fridge and kitchenette rather than having to go to the bathroom. Bathroom of good size. Maybe another power point close to table. Staff quick to fix up a small problem with a blind.

Ours was a last minute, overnight stay. When we arrived we found reception extremely friendly and helpful. The room was immaculate and modern. Couldn’t hear any traffic. People next door were quite noisy, quite late, but you can experience that anywhere, anytime. Couldn’t ask for better accommodation for the price. We are hoping to stay again in the near future.

The toilet door often opens itself, and the toilet exhaust fan is broken, and even no floor towel in the toilet. The air conditioning is very noisy ,but if you do not open it, it is cold when you sleep. I mean the covers are a little thin and there's no spare blanket. There are two mats on the carpet in the room, they often trip people.
