Holiday houses & accommodation in Sussex Inlet

Sussex Inlet is a 3 hour drive south of Sydney in the bucolic region of Shoalhaven. Holidaymakers flock to the world famous Hyam's beach nearby, but if you travel a bit to the south, you will land in the incredibly peaceful hamlet of Sussex Inlet. It is famous for its large lagoon, the St.George's Basin, and has plenty of holiday apartment options right on the lagoon

Dine by the waters

As evening falls, walk up an appetite by strolling along the waters and watch a fiery sunset on the lagoon. If you are lucky, you might even spot the much adored local wallabies that trample along the town fearlessly. Then, stroll into the small but dainty town centre and feast on oysters, or dine on the fresh catch of the day. Wash it down with some wine and then walk a bit more. At the end of the day, return to the confines of your charming holiday apartment, relax in the Jacuzzi on the balcony and admire the night skies of this incredibly peaceful hamlet.

Watching dolphins at Jervis Bay

Nearby Jervis Bay offers cruises to watch bottle-nosed dolphins. It is a brilliant way to spend the morning, or evening, sailing by sparkling white sand beaches, spotting dolphins and even humpback whales (during the whale migrating season from June to October). There is also an abundance of well preserved fossils, 250 million years old, in Berrara Cove a few kilometres south of Sussex Inlet. These will surely keep the kids excited!

Explore the sparkling waters

Nestled between sea and lagoon, there is a lot of water based activities to keep you busy – if you can get over the relaxing peacefulness of your holiday here. Nonetheless, you can go out for kayaking, fishing, boating and paddle boarding. If you are eager to surf, then sign up at the Sussex Inlet Surf School.
