Property was ok for our 2 night weekend away. The wooden floors are squeaky and irritating esp when you are sleeping and someone takes a bathroom break. Bicycles were not ready to ride as they never seemed to have been ridden in years with flat tyres. The kayak was there with no instructions to transport to the lakes etc. It took all evening to cool down as the single AC was struggling on 35plus degree heat. No TV, No wifi. Bit ordinary for what we paid for. Not highly recommended.

We loved our stay in Smiths Lake. The property was just as described. We loved that we could bring our dogs with us too, who were happily set up on the secure covered front deck. The home was lovely. We particularly appreciated having 2 nice bathrooms, the air conditioning during the afternoons (we were lucky to have great weather so it was warm) and being walking distance to the lake (for walks with our dogs) and the shops and bowling club and a short drive to many beautiful beaches. The supplied kayak, boogie boards and golf clubs were also great and we really enjoyed using these (and not having to bring them). Thank you for a great stay, Greg!

We really enjoyed our week at the Lake House. The check in process was seamless with Greg contacting us a few days before to provide details. The location is great, close to lake swimming areas and it’s about 30 minutes drive to Forster. The house has a really nice outdoor deck area and is the perfect size for 5-6 people. It has all the necessities for an easy holiday and we would love to stay again!

We had a lovely short break and it was so great to be able to take our puppy with us as well. The property was so well equipped, clean and very comfortable, and located in a great spot. We had enough space for us all, verandahs front and back and 2 large bathrooms. Our host was also amazing to communicate with which made arranging the stay very easy. We will definitely be staying here again.

Relaxing break in paradise

What a fantastic place to relax & recharge! The property was fantastic and had everything we needed. Kitchen was well stocked and catered well for our family of 4. Lots of BBQ’s after days kayaking, fishing or just exploring the magnificent lake. Morning coffee on the front balcony was a great way to start the day! Great to be able to bring our 4-legged family member along too - he enjoyed swimming in the lake as much as we did. Communication was excellent and the local Information & fishing tips provided were really helpful. Fingers crossed we can escape there again soon!!
