We had stayed in other places in Sussex Inlet before. By far, this is the best one we came across. Good location, comfortable living and picturesque view of the water. Private jetty is a great facility to us. Will certainly stay again.
property overall fantastic , the rain made a puddle at the front gate which was a bit muddy , owners may want to look into fixing the drainage there otherwise all good
Great short stay in this well appointed property right on the river and a short stroll to shops / restaurants etc. All communication was quick and everything went very smoothly. Would recommend this great spot
House could have been a bit cleaner, cob webs on windows inside and outside, good location with a nice view from the dinning room.

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.
Very impressed on how clean it was, with lots of extras like washing up detergent, salt and pepper etc, terrific location, close to town and being right on the water was great, the linen on the beds was first class, will be back thankyou Dasha for your help, leading up to our lovel break
Love this house's atmosphere and location. Best anywhere and so homely. This time of the holiday's is best as there are not quite as many people which is what we like. Back next year.

Hi Natalie, so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and your most welcome back in Summer, great swimming off the jetty.
We had a wonderful time at Riverbank Cottage.
With the water for fishing and swimming at our doorstep and a flat footpath for the kids to ride around on . Riverbank Cottage ticked all the boxes . We’d definitely come back .
We had a lovely break at Riverbank Cottage. The cottage has a lovely comfortable feel and the location is second to none. Having access to the private jetty was a great bonus.Easy flat walking access to clubs and shops. We were lucky enough to meet the delightful Dasha and her husband who were both very helpful.We would love a return stay.
Comfortable house in a prime location with all needs met.
This house is in an environment of friendly people on the same agender of relaxation and comfort, which lends itself to an enriched holiday with everything within reach.
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!

Wonderful to read and so glad you enjoyed your stay.
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.
