The River Retreat, Waterfront @ Sussex Inlet

The River Retreat is a perfectly positioned absolute waterfront holiday house complete with its own boat ramp and jetty.
The house is ideal for those interested in a holiday by the water with fishing, swimming and boating right from your backyard. The view from the waterfront is beautiful as it overlooks natural bushland on the other side of the river providing both a great view and privacy unlike many of the other waterfront properties in the area.
Large bifold doors open up onto a spacious north-facing deck providing seamless alfresco living, the perfect place to relax or entertain, whichever takes your fancy! 
The boat ramp is suitable for small to medium boats as the access is through the side garage. Larger boats would need to use the public boat ramp which is a 2min drive down the road. Many of our guests choose to moor their boats at the jetty, making early morning fishing trips hassle-free.
The house is located a short stroll from the centre of Sussex, providing easy access to shops, cafes and clubs.
There are 3 bedrooms in the house. Downstairs features a waterfront queen bedroom with sliding doors that open up onto a large deck and the 2nd room has two single beds. Upstairs there is a large, newly renovated 'parents retreat' bedroom with a new queen bed and new ensuite and beautiful views down the river.
Being animal lovers we understand that leaving your pets behind when you go on holidays can be heartbreaking and worry-some which is why the River Retreat is a pet-friendly property. If you would like to bring your pet please send us an email to see if we can accommodate your needs.

Great river retreat
Just as the listing describes, a great river retreat which was fun for the whole family. The kids spent the weekend using the stand up paddle board on the river, as well as fishing and a bit of swimming. The house is set up really well. We also discovered lovely kid friendly beach areas within a ten minute drive. We’ll be back!

Nice pet friendly holiday house
The house was lovely and very accommodating for a small dog, a secure backyard is important for us. Note that dogs are not allowed upstairs to the adult retreat - which is fair enough with new carpet, new bathroom. We just stayed in the downstairs queen room.

Fantastic getaway
Our stay at the River Retreat was absolutely wonderful. It was very comfortable and well appointed. The backyard was blissful as it backs onto a lake and very peaceful waking up to such a pretty view each morning. The location is excellent and only minutes walking distance to the centre of Sussex local Shopping precinct. Will definitely hope to stay here again. Thank you Jerry and Libby for your warm hospitality.

Wonderful Retreat
Myself and 3 friends booked to stay at the River Retreat for 2 nights. The house was beautiful and looks like it has been recently renovated. Wonderful location with a nice outdoor area backing onto the inlet. The Adults retreat upstairs is absolutely stunning. Communication with the owner of the house was a breeze and they couldn’t have been more helpful! I would highly recommend staying at the River Retreat.

Bit disappointing
Property wasn’t very clean and was the first thing we noticed. Basic utensils were also missing for cooking. Communication was extremely poor and took at least 24-48 hours for replies. No basic niceties like milk and coffee on arrival to make a cuppa. During our stay we were about to head out the back to enjoy the sunny afternoon when a lawn mower man showed up and proceeded to wipper snip, mow then blower vac! Also literally ZERO pamphlets for restaurants/venues/outings. A few out of date maps left on the sticky coffee table. This place has loads of potential but no love has been poured in for a while is obvious from the moment you walk in

River front bliss
Incredible river frontage with views from bedrooms and living areas, spacious, modern and stylishly furnished accommodation with all the modern conveniences. Brilliant upstairs retreat with lounging area taking in the wonderful river views. Loved the deck area with umbrella and barbecue. Undercover parking. Absolutely enjoyed our stay and our hosts were helpful with friendly and good communication. Was a great base to explore nearby towns, as the region has so much to see and do. Absolutely wonderful weekend. Would definitely recommend.
