About this house rental
Shazza's Retreat, a home away from home in the quiet of Sussex Inlet and surrounding suburbs of Swan Lake, Cudmirrah and Berrara. This part of the South Coast hosts amazing beaches, golf courses and beautiful National Parks where you can swim, surf, fish, bush walk or just relax with a good book in the sun.
My house is situated in a quiet street with fully fenced front and backyards where your 4 legged friend is welcome. It has 3 bedrooms with queen, double and king single beds and a sofa bed if needed.
The quaint kitchen has all the basics needed, gas stove and oven, microwave, kettle, toaster, slow cooker, toasted sandwich maker and rice cooker. There is a selection of tea & coffee, including some basic cooking ingredients (oil, salt, pepper etc) if needed.
The bathroom has a shower and a nice size bath tub for a relaxing bubble bath. Separate toilet and laundry.
On cold days there is a fireplace in the main living area that heats the whole house with some wood provided. Also air conditioning for those hot days.
The family room has a TV & DVD, with a comfy lounge. The dining table seats 6, there is also an outdoor setting for 6 with a BBQ.

Places nearby and thing to do...
Take a 5min walk down the street to a quiet beach on Swan Lake or a 5min drive to the beach at Berrara. You are spoilt by choices with nature at your door step, you are surrounded by Conjola National Park, Swan Lake beaches at Berrara, Cudmirrah or jump in the car and head north to Hyams Beach, Jervis Bay and Huskisson or head south to beautiful Milton, Mollymook and Ulladulla. You will find many great places for coffee, restaurants, markets and great little shops where you'll find something special to take home with you. (There is a folder at the house where you'll find lots more information on what is available on the beautiful South Coast).
Locally in Sussex you will find many Cafes, RSL & Bowling clubs, Cinema, boat hire, monthly markets and Golf course.

I said it last time and I'll say it again. When you open the fence to this property, it's like you have stepped into your private sanctuary. We only left for a coffee and a walk by the beautiful river, but could not wait to get back to the house.
It's very comfy, has everything you need. We definitely recommend this property and the owner is always so welcoming.

Unfortunately not close to beach and shops. Road from highway to accommodation was in terrible condition. Potholes big enough to swallow a car.
No complaints about the rental house and garden, excellent

Sharon answered all my questions so fast and when we arrived the house had everything we needed and a bit more! It was in a lovely quiet location not far from Swan Lake and the house was comfortable and inviting as well as very clean and tidy. Sharon also made sure there was information about what activities there were to do in the area. We really enjoyed our time on the back deck overlooking the bush and wildlife 🦜🦘

A little slice of paradise
Shazza's Retreat is a little slice of perfection in a gorgeous area. The house is lovely, backing onto beautiful bushland. We spent most of our time out the back under the amazing pergola - breakfasting with the abundant birdlife, dining in the evening with (again) the sounds of the birds. We walked along the trails behind and near the house. Our dogs loved it too and in all it was perfection. This was our second visit and won't be our last.
We were made to feel so welcome by the owner with a personalised message.
Loved it!

This place is absolutely perfect. If I could give it more stars I absolutely would. We were made to feel so welcome, and the house and garden are beautiful and spotless. Hate to leave, but we will absolutely be back again. Soon. Loved every minute, and everything about Shazzas Retreat xxxx

Peaceful location
We enjoyed our stay at Sharon's house which is in a quiet spot, with a lovely garden bordering on bush. The house is equipped with everything you need, including a selection of board games and DVDs. Beautiful Berrara beach is a 5 minute drive away. Communication with Sharon was great, and the check-in process very easy.

A beautiful retreat ...
We loved staying at Shazza's retreat - it is a special space, quiet and peaceful with lovely garden space full of birds, bees, and amazing plant life. Would highly recommend a stay here - a short drive to Sussex or a lovely walk to the waters edge in the Bay.

Relaxing escape
We spent 3 nights here and it felt cosy and like a home away from home. We enjoyed a wine and played board games (that were provided) in front of the fireplace at night.
Rusty our fur baby loved the backyard and spent most of his time exploring all the smells and listening to all the new sounds.
We had a few birds come in to say hello also.
It was very comfortable, clean and cosy.

Lovely stay in Sussex Inlet
We had a very relaxed and enjoyable long weekend at Sharon's Retreat. Her garden is picturesque, backing on to what looks like reserve, making a lovely location to read and enjoy a cuppa. Our dogs loved exploring and sniffing the garden, as well as sunbaking on the lawn. The house itself was clean and well stocked with everything you'd need. The nearby dog walking beaches were beautiful and clean. As vegans we had a bit of trouble getting a variety of food from local vendors, but there are many options in Milton which is only half an hour away. We had some trouble with the oven, so maybe some notes on how best to use it would be helpful (I suspect it was us rather than the oven). We were also surprised that the TV was a smart TV but there appeared to be no WiFi. While we had a beautiful stay, we did not feel comfortable leaving our large dogs in the yard when we werent there, the back fence was not quite high enough to prevent our dogs from being able to get over it, and one of the dogs next door was a bit grumpy so we were worried our dogs might dig at the fence. For better behaved or smaller dogs this is a perfect location though.

Always a relaxing time at Shazza’s and it never disappoints. Especially after all the terrible fires and devastation of the South Coast it was great to finally come back and visit and support the community 🦋�

great getaway
My best friend gabby had a stroke/brain injury in April 2018 and was in hospital at the brain injury unit at Liverpool for nearly 12 months. I am now her full time carer and she does rehab therapy everyday so it was great to take her away for a weeks holiday to Sussex where she holidayed as a child. It was lovely and my nephews enjoyed themselves too.
