Calm Waters Waterfront Cottages @ Sussex Inlet

Calm Waters is a laid back, waterfront resort consisting of 6 two and three bedroom cottages situated on the river right in the heart of Sussex Inlet. Built in the 1940s originally as Fisherman's cottages, they have been lovingly and respectfully restored to ensure guests have all the modern necessities including air-con and Wi-Fi  while maintaining their period features including polished hardwood timber floors, pressed metal ceilings and picture rails.

Ideally situated on the water's edge with private jetty and moorings, Calm Waters is the perfect place to stay for those who wish to enjoy the relaxing and rejuvenating effects of the river. Sit on your private verandah reading a book and let the gentle sea breeze wash over you, take a stroll along the pedestrian path into town or head down to the water and spend the afternoon fishing off the resort's private jetty. 

Sussex Inlet is a sleepy seaside town best enjoyed on or by the water. Boat hire, canoe hire and paddle-board hire is located 200m along the cycle-path and for those with their own boats there are 3 private moorings and plenty of parking for trailers on the property. Please contact us at your time of booking so we can reserve a mooring for your use during your stay.

Each cottage is fully self-contained with well equipped kitchens, dining and lounge areas, private bathrooms and covered private verandahs. Cottages 1 & 2 and Cottages 3 & 4 can be combined to suit larger groups. Each cottage contains consumables including tea & coffee toilet paper, cling wrap, foil, hand-wash, detergent etc for your convenience. Please let us know if you require a high chair or porta-cot at your time of booking and we will make sure these are provided in your room. Bed linen is provided for each bed, with the main bedroom made up ready for your arrival. Please note that a towel package is available as an add-on when booking otherwise guests are asked to bring their own bath and beach towels.

Being animal lovers we understand that leaving your pets behind when you go on holidays can be heartbreaking and worry-some which is why Calm Waters is a pet-friendly property. If you would like to bring your pet please send us an email to see if we can accommodate your needs. (Please note, we only allow one pet per stay per cottage, upon application)

The property features a shared laundry with washing machine, laundry tub and dryer and portable BBQs that guests can use throughout their stay.

For large group bookings please contact us directly via the Contact Us page or call 0491 037 886 so we can discuss your requirements.

Great place

Second time back and this time booked two cabins. Loved everything about the accommodation and will definitely be back. Recommend to anyone who wants to relax but be close to lots to do.

Great relaxing time

Thanks for the great stay. After a busy wedding weekend it was lovely to relax and enjoy our stay with you. The cottage was perfect for us, 3 couples and didn't feel as though we were on top of each other. The young adults had great joy in fishing off the jetty and trying to beat the old boys at it. We took out a BBQ boat exploring the water ways and a spot of fishing. Very close to the cottage. Great time had by all. thanks.

So relaxing!

What an amazing place to gather with family. We booked out 4 of the cottages for a family get together with 2 dogs. An absolutely perfect set up. Cottages were all well equipped, loved the fire pit, managed to have it lit on the last night when it cooled down. Great communication with the owners too. It was a weekend when you come home and know you just want to go back! We have all agreed it will now be a family tradition. Thank you for making our weekend so perfect!

ticked all the boxes

Great little spot. Cottages are comfortable and well equipped. It was very convenient to leave the boat at one of the moorings next to the private jetty and plenty of parking for the car and trailer on the property. The whole family enjoyed the location and would stay again without hesitation.

Our Calm Waters stay was exactly what was needed. Lovely airy cabins with that South Coast character. Great swimming out the front and handy pontoon/moorings available for guests with boats and other watercraft. We will definitely return!

My dog Rubi and I had a great midweek getaway in cabin 5. Apart from that pesky kangaroo outside the door-woof. Lovely inlet walkways. Very sunny and quite. Will definitely be back

Perfect location

My husband and I stayed at cabin 2 for the first Viking festival. We could not have chosen a better location. Easy walk to everywhere. Cabin was clean with everything required provided. Location on the water was glorious. Libby and Jerry thank you for making our first impression of beautiful Sussex Inlet a joy.

Mr

What an amazing accomodation we were presented with! We were in cabin 1 and had a fire pit with plenty of wood. Very pretty place. Jerry was very helpful with any of our needs. We went to fish but they were not so accomodating - next time. Scenery was a bonus. We will return!! Neil & Linda
