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.

Home away from home. Stayed the weekend here in Nov. Accommodation was massive, infinity pool, massive beds, modern and pretty cool views of the rivers below. Also, found a table tennis table and pool table in the garage.

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.

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

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.

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.

Incredible New Years Stay. We stayed over New Years and it was the most beautiful stay, the location, the owners, the scenery, the amenities everything was perfect. Couldn’t recommend this stay any more, perfect quiet location with ultimate privacy.

What an experience! La Riva is an amazing property hidden in East Gippsland. Stunning gardens , amazing resort and hosts are more than accommodating. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to get away for an amazing experience.

Such a beautiful and lovely place, We will definitely go back and stay longer, sparkling clean, helpful host and great location.Thank you Andrea

Incredible stay at a magnificent property. We had the most wonderful 10 days staying at La Riva to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday with the whole family.Where do I start! The house is stunning with lots of room for everybody to have their own space. The beds and even the pull out couches are so comfortable. The kitchen has every appliance you can think of. The gardens and the setting with the beautiful views are magnificent and we did a lot of wandering around exploring without even leaving the grounds! The back of the property has a great walk along the river. The pool is to die for and even on cooler days, the water temp was great.Really close to Paynesville, Bairnsdale and Lakes Entrance but you feel you are worlds away from civilisation. Last but not least, Andrea was the most incredible host and could not do enough for us. Nothing was too much to ask and she went above and beyond to make us feel so comfortable and meet our every need. Her husband even took us on an amazing helicopter ride(their other business). This property is perfect for a special family holiday/celebration, corporate getaway or retreat or just getting a large group of friends together. Definitely would return for another special occasion!

Excellent 5 star accommodation in a relaxing location. Andrea was very attentive to my requests, and as a busy professional & discerning traveller who, during Christmas 22, travelled with my family to LaRiva, we were very satisfied. The venue ticked all our boxes and was a perfect base for me to visit family, recharge, and plan our next part of our summer holiday. Cudos to Andrea & David for having a vision and staying true to its purpose. We will be back.

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 getaway. Great family and friends getaway to enjoy for short or long stay. Outdoor pool forms a great backdrop for winter setting, wish it was warm pool.

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!

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.
