    Staying at Riva-La-Vista was a lovely experience. The stunning harbour views and clean, spacious rooms made it enjoyable, though the upstairs noise and stiff sheets were minor drawbacks. Terri and Ric were welcoming hosts, and the shared facilities were great. Definitely looking forward to coming back for more adventures.

    The rooms were large and airy, especially those with a wonderful view and private bathrooms and a large window. The location was excellent and stunning, on the hill, convenient to go everywhere. And it was also right by find a number of places to get a good feed and a hillside.

Lovely experience, great location, quiet hill, close to restaurants, and delicious goodies at the nearby café.

    I was amazed by the stunning view overlooking the river from my spacious ensuite room. the shared kitchen/living area was well-equipped, and the peaceful location was perfect for relaxation. There was a lovely swing chair to enjoy the birdlife and river scenery. the hosts were welcoming and made me feel at home. a top-notch stay!
