What an amazing stay. The pool was fantastic, and the views were breathtaking. Andrea was great with communication, making everything smooth and easy. The place had everything you could need and was even better in person. Highly recommend!

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!

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.

WOW! When you come to the house, it surrounded by beautiful specimen trees. Then when you arrive in the house ‘WOW’. It so beautiful, clean, spacious. All the bedrooms have super comfy beds and are beautifully decorated. Massive bathrooms. A huge kitchen and dinning area. Comfy lounge. And then going outside to an affinity pool with a breathtaking view of the lakes.

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.

Home away from plus luxury. Love going back to our home away from home and then some! Beautiful gardens, spacious and clean rooms, pivate pool ,gorgeous views....... Planning our next holiday already

We 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 (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.

Where do I start! We had the most wonderful 10 days staying at La Riva to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday with the whole family. 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 Lake 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. Definately would return for another special occasion!

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 the 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 La Riva.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
