Really enjoyed the house and it’s surrounds. The closeness to the water was fantastic. Everything worked well except the lounge which is somewhat broken. Would gladly stay there again.

Thank you for your review Leon and glad you enjoyed your stay.
We had no idea the lounge was broken it is now fixed .
Someone must have jumped on like a trampoline and broken aluminium rod underneath the lounge all good now!!
By The River was a fabulous venue for a long weekend with a group of friends. Beautiful location, spotlessly clean, stocked with everything you could possibly need. Highly recommended.
Dianne was enormously helpful and responded quickly to all requests for information. The house was very clean and really lovely. We had a wonderful stay as a family together.
The property is clean, well maintained, well equipped with furniture and utensils. It's a big house with plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy the stay. Easy walk to the beach.
Dianne’s property is wonderful for a family get together or a few friends. Comfy beds and relaxing areas to escape and chill. Central to shops, pub and beach, the view is mesmerising and always changing.
Highly recommend!

About the host
Hosted by Dianne Sutcliffe
Dianne and Glenn have lived in the Shoalhaven area for 30 years. We currently live nearby and hope one day to settle full time in 70 River Road.
Why they chose this property
We know the South Coast well and we identified this property as where we want to live. We believe it is the best spot on the south Coast. It is a beautiful place and once you stay you will appreciate how unique it is. It is also a few doors down from Dis parents home.
What makes this property unique
There is nothing more relaxing than sitting on the back deck looking down on the river, taking in the exceptional range of bird life.
