Superb location!!! Amazing facilities. Would love to visit again!! Thank you

The most enjoyable weekend staying at the fabulous Homestead. La Riva is so much more than a fabulous property and infinity pool! After such a challenging year, this was our chance to escape the hustle and bustle of Melbourne and reunite with our family and friends. I’m not sure where to even start as we couldn’t get past the stunning entrance, gardens and house, it’s huge! From the moment we contacted owners Andrea and David they went above and beyond to make everything perfect. The tailored experiences are just fabulous and they both took our stay from amazing to something purely magical. The house itself is nestled on a perfectly manicured landscape with view of the Mitchell River that’s unforgettable! The infinity pool was very clean, warm and welcoming. All our guests had their own space with multiple dining rooms, seating areas and bedrooms set up to our required sleeping arrangements. The library is a winner baby… it has two comfortable sofa beds and an adjoining ensuite, if you are wondering if the sofa beds are appropriate or comfortable, they absolutely are! In fact, I will be asking Andrea where she got them from as my father in law is 73 with a bad hip and he was so comfortable. Finally a regional stay with the right Technology! We had reception, fast WIFI and sexy Bose speakers and smart TV’s throughout. Don’t bring anything! That was our big mistake… They seriously have everything you need… just bring food and drinks as everything is fitted out perfectly, we had a fabulous roast dinner one night and realised we forgot flour for the gravy, after a few wines we weren’t able to get to the shops and cheeky us messaged Andrea - without hesitation Andrea dropped some around for us. I could go on for hours but all you need to know is it’s time for you to stop reading, bite the bullet and book! If we all have learnt anything in the last two years it’s that life is too short to procrastinate so when Andrea suggests booking the private dinner and helicopter ride (their other business) don’t hesitate, you won’t regret it as both are unforgettable and worth every cent and more! We will return again soon. Thanks again LaRiva

Great views - especially with the infinity pool. First time visiting the region. Pictures speak for themselves, everything was massive and modern.

Spacious rooms. Thoughtful amenities. The most spectacular rental I have ever been too.

Well done for creating such a fantastic experience and a memorable evening. Thank you Andrea and David and the team from La Riva and the Tinamba Hotel team for a wonderful Tinamba Hotel Fine Dining Experience Hosted at La Riva, part of the East Gippsland Winter Festival 2022. Upon arrival we were warmly greeted, wandered though the beautiful gardens with sculptures and stunning river flat views. We enjoyed drinks and canapés by the pool with the sun setting and then a beautifully decorated long table for dining. It was intimate with the wood fire, lovely company and amazing food, matching wine and friendly service.

Think of what you expect from an Airbnb, make it 5 times better. The attention to the details drove me crazyyyy, everything is so well thought out from the heated infinity pool to the garden to the rooms. Omg, that kitchen equipment.... I wanna be the chef of this house! Oh that truffle oil in the kitchen brought tears to my eyes. The place is suitable for so many different occasions. Vogue better find out about this place and immiediately do a shoot with a star. It is that good in my opinion! Wanna go back as soon as possible. yyaaaas!

Great getaway homestead! 👍

Pool views are so good. Beautiful and spacious house especially the camp fire and pool views are so good.

This Incredible property set on an idyllic hillside location overlooking Jones Bay. Flowers, fruit trees and manicured gardens, surround the property providing a stunning setting to the expansive, yet private space. A large infinity pool is a key feature of the property; the heated water reflects the silhouette of the surrounding trees, which frame the view of the inlet and rolling hills that lie beyond. Moving back inside, the house itself is architecturally stunning and beautifully well appointed. The numerous bedrooms, sitting and dining areas are comfortable and tastefully furnished. Apple-play connected Bose speakers fill the rooms with music, and aroma of a well-cooked meal is never far away, with a fully equipped centrally located kitchen enticing any would be chef. Our hosts were courteous and respectful, paying attention to all the small details and ensuring our stay was as relaxed and enjoyable as we could wish for. Our only disappointment was booking too short a stay. We look forward to our next visit, for the little the slice of paradise that La Riva has to offer.

An absolutely stunning location with even better hospitality. A beautiful week away full of tranquility. Highly recommend exploring the property to view the beautiful grounds and don’t forget to enjoy sunrise with a coffee by the pool.

Superb views across the heated, infinity pool to the surrounding landscape. I had the pleasure of spending the weekend at this fine establishment, drenched in sumptuous luxury from the entrance. A winding drive through beautifully manicured gardens with objet d'art carefully placed throughout to stimulate a curiosity of what might be around the next corner. Charming! The same eye for detail awaits in every facet of this exquisite property. Large rooms filled with big, comfortable beds, luxurious pillows, crisp sheets and multiple living spaces with similarly comfortable and stylish sofas, a kitchen with everything...even a chef as the occasion warrants. Helicopter flights, boat cruises and a sound knowledge of where to go in the area are all possible options when staying at La Riva with these exceptional hosts.

OMG, Wow, stunning, bliss, picturesque, heaven! I could go on forever about La Riva. What an absolute amazing home. After being locked down due to COVID restrictions and not being able to travel overseas I would thoroughly recommend a stay at La Riva resort, you’ll have it all to yourselves. Great place to spend with family and friends whether swimming in the pool in the morning, afternoon bush walks and nighttime competitions with the kids, over chess, pool and table tennis, kept us amused for hours. Not an Xbox in site!

Thanks once again to the wonderful hosts. Look forward retuning in the future for more amazing times.

Don’t pass this place by.

Well worth the investment but you won’t want to leave.

We are already planning our next visit. We recently celebrated my husbands 30th birthday with some friends and we had an absolutely amazing time. The homestead is so luxurious and beautiful and has the most picturesque views. The hosts were also so accommodating and all of our favours were met. Thank you to the team at La Riva

Highly recommend. We had a beautiful stay at La Riva, the hosts were very accommodating and amazing customer service 😊 would highly recommend to anyone wanting a getaway from the city to the beautiful location!

We had an incredible stay at La Riva. Not only was Andrea a delight to deal with their website was super handy and the house was even better than the photos (didn’t think that was possible). It was not only luxurious but incredibly functional for a group of 8, couldn’t speak more highly of our stay.
