So easy to walk to the shops, wonderful walking paths, and water views. We will be back.....because we are missing our new favourite breakfast from the Burrum Heads Bakery.....a pie and hot beverage each morning. ##### A guest from Maryborough, QLD This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Vyvette C. 18 Jun 2021 #### RELAXING HOLIDAY SPOT Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We recently stayed here and it is a great position. The cleaning could be improved and the linen needs upgrading. There were no extra blankets for the 2nd bedroom. The yard needs general maintenance and pruning and the trees overhanging the clothes line should be removed to maximise the sunshine. Very hard to dry clothes in winter with no sun on them. ##### Vyvette C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cheryl L. 22 Mar 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Always a beautiful visit Great stay ##### Cheryl L.

It would be difficult to beat the views of the Burrum River from inside and outside of Rio Vista. Good fishing from the river bank in front of the house, even better upstream in a boat. The mango tree mentioned elsewhere has had a major trim, along with improved landscaping of yard. ##### Jabiru This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stuart 29 Mar 2018 #### Great house with excellent views. Had the best week here. Will be back for sure. The best location. ##### Stuart This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Regular visitor 16 Jan 2016 #### Great location Been coming for years and love location. Unfortunely state of yard and mango tree with fruit bats is a drawback and needs to be addressed. Would highly recommend if rectified. ##### Regular visitor This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Fun123 18 Apr 2015 #### Great riverfront Location! We love Rio Vista. The best views of the Burrum River you will find! Close to the boat ramp for fishing, the Lions Park for swimming, and just a short walk to the shops. A few things are getting dated with the furnishings...but easily overlooked, when you consider the location. ##### Fun123 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Judith 19 Sept 2014 #### two weeks at Rio Vista Booked this accommodation through research on the internet and the Accommodation Guide published by Elders - Burrum Heads Highlight was the position - right by the water - large rooms - well furnished and amenities good standard ##### Judith ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Death Valley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Death-Valley-Hotels.d54985.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Embassy Suites by Hilton Seattle Bellevue](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seattle-Hotels-Embassy-Suites-By-Hilton-Seattle-Bellevue.h14411.Hotel-Information) > > [Don Gregory by Dunas, Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Bartolome-De-Tirajana-Hotels-Don-Gregory-By-Dunas.h1430875.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Early Check-in in Leicester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leicester-Hotels-Hotel-With-Early-Check-In.0-0-d7583-thotelwithearlycheckin.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Castlefield](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castlefield-Manchester-Hotels.0-n6150931-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Apartments Windermere](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Apartments.d5478-aaApartments.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Port Talbot](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Talbot-Hotels.d5624.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Oxford House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-The-Oxford-House.h21354897.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach Resorts & Hotels in Madrid](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Madrid-Hotels-Beach-Hotels.0-0-d178281-tBeachHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Llandudno](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llandudno-Hotels.d5621.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Gym in City Centre Glasgow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/City-Centre-Glasgow-Glasgow-Hotels-Hotel-With-Gym.0-n6129620-0-thotelwithgym.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Cabin Rentals Gatlinburg](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatlinburg-Cabins.d7474-aaCabins.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Bahia Principe Grand Punta Cana - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Bahia-Principe-Grand-Punta-Cana-All-Inclusive.h1091208.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near La Grand Place](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Grand-Place-Hotels.0-l508252-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Rogerthorpe Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pontefract-Hotels-Rogerthorpe-Manor-Hotel.h792784.Hotel-Information) > > [Tivoli Carvoeiro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Tivoli-Carvoeiro.h891221.Hotel-Information) > > [Marygreen Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brentwood-Hotels-Marygreen-Manor-Hotel.h975876.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near University of Leeds](https://www.expedia.co.uk/University-Of-Leeds-Hotels.0-l6082847-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Richmond Ibis House Apartments by Viridian Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Richmond-Ibis-House-Apartments.h13308689.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Kennington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kennington-London-Hotels.0-n6004190-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Spa Hotels in Aldershot](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aldershot-Hotels-Spa-Hotels.0-0-d6054087-tSpaHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/178279/flights-from-london) ### Cars > [Car hire in Sorrento](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Sorrento.d9716.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Carnac](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Carnac.d5791.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Okavango Delta Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Okavango-Delta.d6348696.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Golden Temple](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Golden-Temple-Old-City.d6106752.Attraction) ### General > [Visit Achill Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Achill-Island.dx6144814) > > [Visit Scrabster](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Scrabster.dx6059420) > > [Visit Newtownards](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newtownards.dx182722)
