Ravinay26/12/2020We had an excellent time staying at this property. 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 (Itβs been a long time since Iβve 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 hostβs 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 moreread lessKristiaan K.13/10/2021We 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 donβt 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.read moreread less
Lyndel26/01/2021 - 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.read moreread lessKamal P.13/10/2022We 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 (didnβt think that was possible). It was not only luxurious but incredibly functional for a group of 8, couldnβt speak more highly of our stay.read moreread less
Danielle03/01/2021The 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 the Melbourne and reunite with our family and friends.Iβm not sure where to even start as we couldnβt get past the stunning entrance, gardens and house, itβs 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 thatβs 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 babyβ¦ 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 TVβs throughout. Donβt bring anything! That was our big mistakeβ¦ They seriously have everything you needβ¦ 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 werenβt 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 itβs time for you to stop reading, bite the bullet and book!If we all have learnt anything in the last two years itβs that life is too short to procrastinate so when Andrea suggests booking the private dinner and helicopter ride (their other business) donβt hesitate, you wonβt regret it as both are unforgettable and worth every cent and more! We will return again soon. Thanks again La Riva.read moreread lessChristopher M.13/10/2022 - 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!read moreread less
Karin10/04/2023Wow!!! From the relaxed drive to Eagle Point to being welcomed by Andrea and David our hosts on arrival. Entering this estate was breathtaking throughout our stay we were overwhelmed by the sheer beauty, everything was perfect from the building and itβs 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 thereβs more, letβs 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, heβs a pilot also. Luv it we will be back with family and friends πread moreread lessPaul M.29/03/2021La 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 canβt 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, Gaynorread moreread less

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 Daveβs 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 propertyread moreread less

Patrick21/11/2021Superb 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.read moreread lessLynn D.13/11/2022
