Great getaway homestead! 👍

Awesome house with heaps of amenities, great location with ample privacy. Loved our stay here.

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 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 LaRiva

Well 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 canapés 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.

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

Superb 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.

Excellent 5 star accommodation in a relaxing location. Andrea was very attentive to my requests, and as a busy professional & discerning traveller who, during Christmas 22, travelled with my family to LaRiva, we were very satisfied. The venue ticked all our boxes and was a perfect base for me to visit family, recharge, and plan our next part of our summer holiday. Cudos to Andrea & David for having a vision and staying true to its purpose. We will be back.

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.

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.

Pool views are so good. Beautiful and spacious house especially the camp fire and pool views are so good.

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.

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 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

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.

La 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 can’t 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, Gaynor

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.
