About this property

Shazza's Retreat - A quiet getaway (Pet Friendly)

Shazza's Retreat, a home away from home in the quiet of Sussex Inlet and surrounding suburbs of Swan Lake, Cudmirrah and Berrara. This part of the South Coast hosts amazing beaches, golf courses and beautiful National Parks where you can swim, surf, fish, bush walk or just relax with a good book in the sun.

My house is situated in a quiet street with fully fenced front and backyards where your 4 legged friend is welcome. It has 3 bedrooms with queen, double and king single beds and a sofa bed if needed.

The quaint kitchen has all the basics needed, gas stove and oven, microwave, kettle, toaster, slow cooker, toasted sandwich maker and rice cooker. There is a selection of tea & coffee, including some basic cooking ingredients (oil, salt, pepper etc) if needed.

The bathroom has a shower and a nice size bath tub for a relaxing bubble bath. Separate toilet and laundry.

On cold days there is a fireplace in the main living area that heats the whole house with some wood provided. Also air conditioning for those hot days.

The family room has a TV & DVD, with a comfy lounge. The dining table seats 6, there is also an outdoor setting for 6 with a BBQ.

DOGS ARE PERMITTED IN THE SECURE FRONT & BACK YARDS, ALSO IN THE LOUNGE ROOM, HOWEVER NOT IN THE BEDROOMS, THEY CAN BE IN THE HOUSE WHILE YOU ARE THERE, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE THEY TO BE LEFT INSIDE WHILE YOU ARE OUT.

No linen is available, please bring sheets & pillowcases. Towels, blankets & doonas are provided,

Places nearby and thing to do...

Take a 5min walk down the street to a quiet beach on Swan Lake or a 5min drive to the beach at Berrara. You are spoilt by choices with nature at your door step, you are surrounded by Conjola National Park, Swan Lake beaches at Berrara, Cudmirrah or jump in the car and head north to Hyams Beach, Jervis Bay and Huskisson or head south to beautiful Milton, Mollymook and Ulladulla. You will find many great places for coffee, restaurants, markets and great little shops where you'll find something special to take home with you. (There is a folder at the house where you'll find lots more information on what is available on the beautiful South Coast).

Locally in Sussex you will find many Cafes, RSL & Bowling clubs, Cinema, boat hire, monthly markets and Golf course. If needed, supermarket, butcher, bakeries, bottle shops, medical & dental practice, veterinary surgeries, banks and ambulance station. It is handy to get the local newsletter :The Inletter" which comes out on Wednesdays and available in most local shops, this provides you with lots of information on what's happening in the area while you enjoy your stay here.

The perfect getaway

This place is absolutely perfect. If I could give it more stars I absolutely would. We were made to feel so welcome, and the house and garden are beautiful and spotless. Hate to leave, but we will absolutely be back again. Soon. Loved every minute, and everything about Shazzas Retreat xxxx

Returning for another stay

I said it last time and I'll say it again. When you open the fence to this property, it's like you have stepped into your private sanctuary. We only left for a coffee and a walk by the beautiful river, but could not wait to get back to the house. It's very comfy, has everything you need. We definitely recommend this property and the owner is always so welcoming.

A little slice of paradise

Shazza's Retreat is a little slice of perfection in a gorgeous area. The house is lovely, backing onto beautiful bushland. We spent most of our time out the back under the amazing pergola - breakfasting with the abundant birdlife, dining in the evening with (again) the sounds of the birds. We walked along the trails behind and near the house. Our dogs loved it too and in all it was perfection. This was our second visit and won't be our last. We were made to feel so welcome by the owner with a personalised message. Loved it!

Peace and quiet

Sharon answered all my questions so fast and when we arrived the house had everything we needed and a bit more! It was in a lovely quiet location not far from Swan Lake and the house was comfortable and inviting as well as very clean and tidy. Sharon also made sure there was information about what activities there were to do in the area. We really enjoyed our time on the back deck overlooking the bush and wildlife 🦜🦘
