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.
