Exceptionally rare. Unapologetically private. The Riverhouse sits directly on the river’s edge in the untouched Ballots Bay Nature Reserve, offering uninterrupted river and forest views with private beach access just moments away. While guests enjoy all the estate’s exclusive amenities, only two homes share this coveted riverfront position — making it one of the most exclusive stays in the reserve.
