Set within South Yarra’s most tightly held pocket, moments from the Yarra River and Royal Botanic Gardens, Riviera is an address of distinction. Born from a collaboration between Selwyn Blackstone and John Patrick, this boutique collection of residences embodies a new era of contemporary sophistication. Marrying dynamic architecture, bespoke interiors and considered outdoor spaces, Riviera has been tailored for those with a penchant for life’s finer things – surrounded by vibrant cultural offerings and magnificent natural beauty.

Blending timeless quality with contemporary style, Riviera is defined by an unrivalled standard of luxury. Expansive and light-filled living spaces have been appointed with highly sophisticated finishes, providing sensory delight at every turn. Innovative appliances combine with bespoke joinery to foster an elevated living experience as well as an exceptional sense of convenience. Taking full advantage of surrounding views, open-plan living areas spill out onto large terraces, creating a seamless flow between in and out.

Complementing the distinct fabric of Darling Street, Riviera’s facade is a striking yet innately refined architectural composition. The building is sculptural in form, offering an engaging and artistic addition to the South Yarra streetscape. Charcoal metal cladding and raw concrete foster a contemporary aesthetic, softened by the skillful integration of lush landscaping. Equipped with full-height windows and leafy terraces, the building has been designed to capture distant views whilst allowing the greenery to become an ever-present vista within homes.

Start your day with nature walks, baked treats and exceptional cups of coffee.


South Yarra is its most beautiful in the early hours of the day, when the river and gardens are illuminated by that glorious morning light. Head out for a walk, jog or bike ride along the Main Yarra Trail – located just 300m from Riviera – or meander your way around ‘The Tan’, coffee in hand.

Afterwards, rest and refuel at one of many local cafes (South Yarra is quite possibly the brunch capital of Melbourne). If you’re on the go, Baker D. Chirico is the perfect place to pick up a croissant, coffee and loaf of bread. If you’ve got more time, settle in at The Gilson for blueberry pancakes and garden views; Mr Bond for Italian espresso and oven-baked eggs; or The Stables of Como for brunch classics amongst historic grounds.

From long lunches to luxury shopping – midday in South Yarra is all about leisure.


Later in the day, when the sun sits high in the sky, South Yarra becomes a hub for leisurely lunches and afternoon drinks. Domain Road boasts a world-class selection of dining spots, including The Botanical, Gilson and beloved Parisian institution Entrecôte – home to our city’s finest steak frites.

For decades, South Yarra has been synonymous with retail therapy – another quintessential afternoon activity. Along Chapel Street and Toorak Road, high-end boutiques combine with beauty emporiums, homeware stores and gourmet providores. From cult label Dinosaur Designs to the inimitable Scanlan Theodore, this fashion-forward locale has mastered the art of stylish living.

Acclaimed restaurants and stylish bars form the fabric of South Yarra’s nightlife.


South Yarra does dinnertime in a very distinctive way – it’s all about elegant interiors, critically acclaimed chefs, lively atmosphere and inventive food. Along Domain Road, choose between Matilda by Scott Pickett, beloved seafood restaurant Bacash, and the award-winning Botanical Hotel. Off Chapel Street, there’s authentic Sicilian bistro Thirty Eight Chairs, or head to Bar Carolina for wood fired Venetian dishes.

After dinner, catch a movie at Palace Cinemas Como, a long-standing part of South Yarra’s cultural fabric. Boasting plush decor and a glamorous bespoke bar, the cinema provides an elevated cinematic experience, screening everything from commercial release and art-house films to operas and ballets.
