Ravinay26/12/2020The 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 - Fantastic location great ammenities and the most fantastic hosts. Couldnβt recommend this place more highly.

Thanks again La Riva for the most enjoyable experience.read moreread lessSamantha G.10/04/2022An 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 donβt forget to enjoy sunrise with a coffee by the pool.read moreread lessTayla B.13/02/2023Well 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 canapΓ©s 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.read moreread lessJodie W.09/07/2022

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.read moreread lessAllan B.18/01/2023La 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

Pasha31/12/2021Home 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.read moreread lessGrant C.13/10/2021Superb 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 - 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!read moreread less
Krystal05/01/2025We 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
