Absolute perfection. I've just returned from 3 amazing days at La Riva on a business retreat. This home and the gardens and the pool and everything is so beautifully set out but actually it's the little things that I found the most special. Andrea has thought of everything and from the minute you arrive, you feel so welcome. I found Andrea to be the most warm and friendly host and we were fortunate that she could spend time with our group. I felt like a welcome guest in her home and I could not recommend this property highly enough. Thank you Andrea, our stay was perfect.

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

We were so sad to leave. Thank you Andrea for the best time (and for being such a lovely host!). The house is absolutely beautiful, the photos really don’t do it justice. We had the best weekend sunbathing, swimming, enjoying the view and having dinner parties. We were so sad to leave. Loved that each bedroom was as nice as the next complete with beautiful quality linen and towels. The large kitchen was brilliant and made it such a pleasure to cook for the group, we literally ate every meal at the house. In every room there were stunning fresh floral arrangements straight from the garden which was a really thoughtful touch. Most comfortable lounge ever. The house is super spacious and with 10 adults we definitely all felt like we had enough space. The garage with a table tennis table and pool table, with beer fridge, provided plenty of entertainment.

Definitely recommended! Great place to stay, very luxurious, wonderful hospitality by Andrea.

Amazing property with breathtaking views. Huge pool, beautiful gardens and enough space, bedrooms, bathrooms and activities for everyone. We had a wonderful week away at LaRiva!

La Riva was breathtaking I spent four nights over Christmas with my family and it was by far the best Airbnb we have ever stayed in and we have stayed in many all over the world. Although a little on the pricey side it was worth every penny. I honestly can’t say enough about this place, every detail is well thought out and beautifully appointed. Thank you Andrea for sharing your spectacular home with us, we hope to return again in the future. Best wishes, Gaynor

La Riva House. This breathtaking homestead on 7 acres, with magnificent views from every room. From the moment you enter the driveway you are drawn in by the gorgeous canopy of English and natives trees, manicured lawns and glorious garden. Then you arrive up the sweeping driveway to the opulent sandstone house. Inside is an array of stunning bedrooms and lovely sitting areas, where you can read a book or play chess or just admire the views to the Mitchell River. Hosts Andrea and Dave are exceptional people who welcome you with open arms and are truly the most hospitable people you could ever meet. So much to do, long walks, helicopter ride in Dave’s own helicopter taking in the breathtaking view above swim in the gorgeous infinity pool eat out or in with your own personal chief or just relax. Thoroughly recommend a stay at this incredible property

La Riva is even more breathtaking than the photos. The place is clean and well decorated with a cosy feel. Andrea was very helpful with the bed arrangement and ensure we had everything we needed. We had a wonderful stay. Thanks Andrea!

It's superb!!!! Andrea is the most beautiful host, very friendly, helpful and welcoming! The place was immaculate!!! Very clean, a friendly touch with welcome chococlates, bread, fruit bread and very nice butter! Flowers from the garden throughout the house! Beds and linen luxurious! We had the best sleeps! The kitchen was more than well equipped! Wish I had a kitchen like Andrea's at home!I have never stayed in a more beautiful and luxurious place! I hope, I will be able to return one day, it's just a shame it's such a long way from Sydney. I can only recommend staying there!

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

Stunning and relaxing at the same time. We celebrated a significant birthday for my wife with family and friends and could not have been happier with the experience. During the booking process Andrea was brilliant in making invaluable suggestions to make our weekend even better. We went with massages, a cruise up the Mitchell River and the private chef.It could not have run smoother thanks to David and Andrea. Thank you so much it was brilliant.
