It's truly one of the finest waterfront locations in Sussex Inlet.

The possibilities for outdoor activities are boundless. You can enjoy fishing right from your private jetty, set out for boating adventures from your own backyard, explore the nearby parkland, go kayaking, swimming, or embark on scenic bike rides. Boating to the Haven is a heavenly experience with its clear blue waters and sandy bottoms, offering some of the most picturesque swimming spots. Alternatively, you can venture to The Basin, renowned for its fantastic fishing and water-skiing opportunities.

Delightful location. Quaint cottage on the water. Neat, tidy and well provisioned.

Riverbank Cottage is beautifully located on right on the water at Sussex. We spent heaps of time swimming directly off the private jetty and access to the Paddle Board and Kayak were an added bonus. It is a 5 min walk to town centre and perfectly located for an easy and relaxed holiday break.

2 Day break

When we arrived, property hadn't been cleaned and beds not made. The owner was unaware of this so an email to the owner soon sorted out the issue and the house was just as we had hoped. Dasha also let us leave a little later, so we were able to have another kayak paddle, being the last day of summer. A great location on the water and a well looked after house. Highly recommended.

Perfect Location, great set up

Great location, so close to the water! The private jetty was absolutely wonderful! The house was beautifully clean when we arrived, the beds made with thick, soft covers which makes a difference from thin sheets you might be used to at hotels. The pantry had various useful items, but if you do crave your morning coffee or any other essential it's best to bring your own just in case. We didnt utilise the kayaks, paddle boards or bikes on offer, but it's so great that the hosts offer them! We came with our 4 young children (aged 5 and under), so we moved the lovely but breakable trinkets away. They were a huge fan of the noughts and crosses and bowling games! Dasha responded to my emails prior to booking and gave a very thorough inbox before arrival. Check in and check out went smoothly, although one suggestion is to maybe install a small sensor light over the key box, as we arrived after dark so it was a bit tricky accessing the key. I cannot fault this accommodation or the hosts, it really was a great experience! We'd definitely love to come back!

Mix up

The property manager agreed for an early check-in but someone didn't tell the cleaners. Subsequently nothing had been cleaned by the time we arrived. Happily it was soon rectified. So too was a problem with the TV.
