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.

House could have been a bit cleaner, cob webs on windows inside and outside, good location with a nice view from the dinning room.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

One thing needs addressing , the top bunk does not have a safety railing , I did discuss with the owner and I am sure it has been rectified. ? Our 7 year old fell off the top bunk on the first night
