Riverview Holiday Apartments Corner of Clotworthy And

The Resort and Its Setting

Riverview Holiday Apartments is an independent, RCI-affiliated timeshare property located at the corner of Clotworthy in Kalbarri, a small coastal town on Western Australia's Murchison coast. Being independent rather than part of a branded chain, it operates much like a typical owner-managed Australian strata resort, with weeks held by individual owners rather than a large hotel group. The RCI affiliation is the key extra: it gives owners the option to exchange their week for a stay at another RCI resort elsewhere in the world, rather than being tied to Kalbarri every year.

Kalbarri and the Murchison Coast

Kalbarri is best known for Kalbarri National Park, about 5km from the resort, where red-rock gorges, river lookouts and coastal cliffs draw hikers and photographers. Z Bend and Eagle Gorge (around 8km away) are the park's signature spots, with trails ranging from short lookout walks to longer gorge hikes. Closer to town, Kalbarri Beach (roughly 2km away) offers sheltered swimming, while the Kalbarri Skywalk, about 6km out, puts you on a glass platform above the gorge country. The town itself is compact and practical, with supermarkets, cafes, takeaways and a petrol station, so owners and renters don't need to travel far for day-to-day essentials.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Riverview Holiday Apartments and are ready to move on, BidMyTimeshare.com lets you list it for resale or rent directly, owner to owner. You set your own asking price, buyers and renters contact you through the platform, and no commission is taken on the sale — you simply pay a one-off listing fee to advertise. This keeps the process straightforward compared with going through a traditional resale broker.

Because Riverview Holiday Apartments is an independent resort, any formal transfer of ownership is handled through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a large branded resale desk. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, ask the resort management directly for the current transfer fee, whether they hold any right of first refusal on resale, and the latest annual maintenance fee — these details aren't published centrally and can change, so get them in writing from the resort before finalising a sale. If the week is also RCI-registered, check with RCI what, if anything, needs to happen to re-register the exchange membership in the new owner's name, since RCI affiliation itself doesn't automatically transfer without separate paperwork.

A resale buyer should expect to receive the deeded or contractual right to the week itself, plus (where applicable) the ability to apply for RCI exchange membership in their own name. They should not assume they're buying into any resort amenities, services or promises beyond what's stated in the resort's own contract documents — so it pays to ask the resort directly for a copy of the current owners' agreement before committing.

What Renters Typically Look For

Renters booking a week at Riverview Holiday Apartments are usually drawn by the location rather than resort facilities: proximity to the national park, beach access, and a convenient, central spot in town for groceries and dining out. Being upfront in a listing about unit size, floor level, and which week or season is on offer helps set realistic expectations, since the facts available about the resort itself are limited to its location and RCI affiliation rather than a detailed amenities list.

Practical Notes for Visiting Kalbarri

Kalbarri's climate swings from mild, pleasant winters (May to September) ideal for hiking, to hot summers where sun protection and water are essential. Some national park attractions charge a small entry fee, and a hire car makes it much easier to reach the gorges and Skywalk. During WA school holidays and peak season, Kalbarri accommodation books out early, so owners renting out their week should list well ahead of these dates.
