It was not only luxurious but incredibly functional for a group of 8, couldn’t speak more highly of our stay. read less

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. read less

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! read less

We especially enjoyed the well-equipped kitchen, the infinity pool, and hanging out in the cosy lounge. The property is surrounded by lush nature and wildlife, making for an unforgettable time. And the library is truly something special. Would stay again. read less

Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the two lovely hosts and were pleasantly surprised by how beautiful and spacious this property is. The rooms were clean, and the beds were very comfortable (It’s been a long time since I’ve slept somewhere so well, thank you for that).

The second day we did a guided kayaking tour nearby and even saw some dolphins! In the afternoon we booked a helicopter ride with the host’s helicopter tour business which I can highly recommend to anyone staying here.

Overall, I had a great experience staying here and can highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. read less

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. read less

Throughout our stay we were overwhelmed by the sheer beauty, everything was perfect from the building and it’s lay out to all that was available in the butlers panty, dinning, sitting under the stars and the Infinity pool, so much more to mention. We did not need to leave but wait there’s more, let’s take a short drive my wife informed me!!!, to a helicopter ride to view what this amazing town and surroundings have to offer, by who else our host David. He’s a pilot also. Luv it we will be back with family and friends. 💕 read less

The kitchen was well equipped with a nice butlers pantry and a beautiful long dining table, giving a lot of emphasis that entertainment is key to enjoying this property.

The garden is beautifully kept overlooking the river/lake. A beautiful spot to pause and reflect and maybe even sneak in a salute the sun.

If you go make sure you check out the Study/Converted bed room - something truly magical about getting lost in library showcasing some great literature collections.

Little details that go a long way
1. Owners were very hospitable but gave us our space to enjoy the property
2. Connected sound system
3. Biscuits and chocolate treats
4. Garden growing herbs and citrus fruit read less

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. read less
