A great little cottage by the inlet. Fantastic relaxing views and a short walk to everything you need. We really enjoyed our mid-week stay.

Very happy
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.

2 Day break
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.

Mix up
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.

Charming cottage with an excellent kitchen
We loved our stay at Sussex Inlet. The cottage is exactly as described, very comfortable and well equipped. The location is beautiful with a lovely view. A bonus was the extensive collection of DVDs. The only negative was that the Wifi information provided was incorrect. And we were unable to contact the host, as the link provided through stayz didn't work. Not a major flaw, and otherwise I would give a rating of excellent.

Was not worth the money we paid
Towels had not been left out for us. No toilet paper, notified owner who said cleaner would come and deliver some, never arrived, we had to go buy some while son sat in toilet waiting for us to return. There were ment to be push bikes to ride, but none were in working order, very disappointed. Quilt covers were inside out. Kitchen was under equipment for cooking. No instructions on how to use tv and games or how.to operate the oven as the dial indicators had worn off completely. Shower door needs fixing. Great view and location.

Great value for such a superb location.Wonderful views and great set up, had just about everything for a comfortable stay. Relax or fish from your own jetty or ride the bikes or paddle boards. Enjoy the BBQ, walk to town for a meal or prepare something the the complete kitchen. Do as little or as much in this little piece of paradise.

Dasha is a fantastic host who always replies quickly to any questions . The property is well kept and well stocked for all needs. Games, toiletries and all the staples u may need. Location is wonderful and the private jetty on the inlet is wonderful to fish from. Caught a couple of fatties and some bream right out the front. Would recommend this accommodation to anyone travelling to sussex inlet.

Lovely, relaxing cottage on the waterfront
We hugely enjoyed our stay at this property in Sussex Inlet - it is so convenient and a short walk away from the RSL, close to beaches in the area and really well equipped with all the essential items for a stay (and lots of kitchen equipment/tools which can sometime we a rarity!). Great fun having the kayak, paddleboards and bikes at the house as well. Thank you!

Charming spot right on the waterfront
A charming beach house, right on the water. Clean, comfortable and very relaxing. A big plus for us was all the fun stuff provided - paddle boards, bikes, scooter, chess board and loads of dvds and a wii. Made it to easy to keep the teens entertained.

November Basin fishing trip
Ideal location for a few days at the Basin chasing flathead unfortunately cut short by some pretty awful weather. The Cottage is comfortable and well stocked for everything you will need for such a trip although we couldn't connect to the wifi but hardly a big issue. If the property had a secure boat mooring it would have been ideal or even a power point to charge the electric motor on the boat as this would have save us pulling it from the water at night. Still a good trip and we would definitely come back to Riverbank Cottage as our base.

lovely location, comfortable apart from a few items that need replacing. Unfortunately there was a horrible odour inside the property, old brown towels were stiff & didnt smell fresh, lots of open products in cupboards & fridge, broken water jug in fridge was leaking on floor.

Response from VrboOwner on 21 Apr 2021
Sorry about the bad and the ugly as we do strive to avoid any negative feedback. The open food in the fridge and pantry are actually items available for our guests to use such as sauces, salt, pepper, tea, etc which most guests appreciate.The towels are not old and washed after every stay, sorry they where not soft enough. The smell must have been some strong spices in the kitchen from the precious guests as this is not normally the case.

A great little house right on the waters edge. It has a lovely vibe and everything you could want to keep the family entertained. My teens loved the bikes under the house and having morning coffee on their own little jetty. The big chess board was another big hit.

Relaxing Stay
We had a nice stay at Riverbank Cottage. The house is nicely equipped and the location was great. Views were the highlight and having our own private jetty was a treat for fishing. Only suggestion would be to get the house sprayed/pest control as we had a lot of cockroaches and ants which wasn't the nicest. Other than that we had a nice time, Thanks again!
