Imagine Your Stay ...
- Stayed here for a weekend with friends, absolutely loved it. A big house with plenty of space for a group of people. 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 moreread lessGlenn V.13/10/2021

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.read moreread lessJaime S.19/11/2020We 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 - OMG, Wow, stunning, bliss, picturesque, heaven, I could go on for ever about La Riva. What an absolute amazing home. 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, youβll 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. Donβt pass this place by. Well worth the investment but you wonβt want to leave.read moreread less
Samantha24/11/2020Great 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.13/10/2022The 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. 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 LaRivaread moreread lessChristopher B.02/11/2021 - The most enjoyable weekend staying at the fabulous Homestead.

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

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.read moreread less
