The River Retreat, Waterfront @ Sussex Inlet

What a fantastic house! It is right on the river and so relaxing watching the fish swim past and the birds. It is also close to town. The hosts were fantastic and replied to any questions very quickly. The upstairs parents retreat was also so beautiful. Fully recommend!

We had a wonderful week at this lovely property. The house was impeccably clean, well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and perfectly situated right on the river with stunning views of the opposite bush.We thoroughly enjoyed kayaking and fishing from the dock. The property manager was very responsive and polite. We encountered a minor issue during our stay, and they promptly offered to resolve it immediately. We appreciated their quick response, although we were checking out the next day.Our dogs absolutely loved the water, but the lack of a proper gate made it extremely difficult to keep them out of the river. This was particularly challenging when a pelican swam by, as they became quite excited and eager to chase it.Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would recommend this property.

Great pet friendly property, Comfortable, Totally a spot to relax and unwind, Only thing if anything I would mention is the stairs leading up to the parent retreat are very narrow and would be dangerous for children or the elderly, The only thing missing was electric frying pan, everything else is provided , Beautiful big windows opening to the river view , Over all a very nice place to stay or elderly,

beautiful place

The stay was fanatic great with adults retreat areas so could relax and the back view was great for relaxing and kids could enjoy the outdoors. Very nice place to stay with family and friends.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Wonderful stay
