    The property was beautiful. We loved the beach decor, the upstairs adults retreat was amazing. Great Lake views from all points in the house. We loved the folding doors that opened onto the patio. Lots of fish biting too!

Jerry & Libby Brown
The River Retreat was once our home, however we needed to move location for work commitments. It is a house that you just don't want to leave. Being a north facing waterfront the sunlight floods in all year round making it quite a desirable holiday rental even during the winter months.
We are both teachers and own and run Jervis Bay Surf School. We offer a 10% discount on surf lessons to all of our tenants.
Its all about the water down in Sussex Inlet - fish, surf, snorkel, swim, paddle or just relax and enjoy.
