We had a great time but that was because our family would have a great time anywhere.
Venue was very average and cheaply done. But was comfortable enough.
4.4
Located in a quiet little town it was lovely to wake up to the sound of nature around. The house was clean however had a musty smell. We solved this by opening all the windows. The bathrooms were renovated nicely however be careful as the floor tiles are very slippery and the showers leak out into the bathroom.
The host was very prompt in replies around booking.

Very comfortable and spacious. Very good kitchen and amenities.
A great area, very scenic. Close to amenities, beautiful location.
Loved our stay.

I was working in Tiona and so was looking for a nice place with space for 4 of us for the weekend. Such a great place to stay, nice walk down to the lake and the house was huge! We had our dog there and they loved roaming the gardens. The owner was very accommodating and helped with any questions - would definitely stay there again!

Got to spend time with a few friends good venue for what we were looking for. Very reasonably priced

Our family enjoyed a lovely peaceful holiday at Smiths Lake.
The house is in a quiet cul de sac with a lovely bush outlook and glimpses of the water through the trees. It is possible to access the lake from the property if you don’t mind a bit of a walk down the hill - you will get your exercise.
Although advertised as pet friendly, the yard is not fenced and there is nowhere to secure your dog outside but as mentioned there is no traffic and our lab was happy roaming around the yard out the back. The house is all vynyl floors though so it is easy to sweep up the hair if you need to keep it inside, no vacuum available to use though.

Thanks Kate! We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your property. Your place is clean, spacious and well equipped.

This was a great house for 2 families to come together to spend time on the lake. Beautiful setting among the trees, with glimpses of the lake below through the trees. The beds were comfortable, 2 living areas to use and kitchen was well appointed. The outside deck was a great spot for breakfast and dinner. We had kayaks, and found it easier to put the kayaks in the lake around the bend and paddle back to the shore below the house. The hill was steep down to the lake and was difficult with the kayaks, so we secured the kayaks at the shore under the trees so we didn't have to carry them up and down each day. This made the walk up and down much easier each time we went to the kayaks.
4.4
The property is big enough but I feel it need some maintenance
4.4
The house was quite dirty and needed a good clean ,
ie beer bottle tops in bedroom ,
the open fireplace was still full of ash ,
I don't think the rugs has been cleaned or vacuumed in year's ( I did shake them off the balcony myself) and they where filthy , not something I should have to do when paying $600 a night for a family stay.
It was made very clear by Kate that we should leave the house clean when we left .
We did leave it much cleaner than when we arrived ( not sure why they charge a cleaning fee) sack the cleaners would be a good idea.
We did our best to clean with no vacuum cleaner , an old broom , a dustpan that was cracked and no mop.
The gas bottle was nearly empty on arrival and when we contacted the management to get more gas there was no reply.
There was wood for the fire place but had to borrow an axe from a house next door.
These simple oversights make a big difference to a relaxing stay and a disappointing stay and this stay was disappointing.
One of the showers was dripping all night resulting in water leaking onto the hall floor which was very slippery and dangerous when someone gets up to go to the toilet at night.
Mould on some walls.
The front door key was very soft , I can understand that another review said the key broke as it was a cheap key that bent very easily
Anyway we expected a lot better when paying a premium cost per night .
Nice house but it appears a simple oversight is the fact that people staying in a property expect a certain level of cleanliness especially with a cleaning fee.

The house at smiths lake is awesome, big with lots of room to move around. We did experience some plumbing issues the second day we were there, but they were promptly seen to. There are definite issues with the plumbing and bathrooms however. Specifically leaking from toilets and inadequate structures in the showers to stop water going everywhere. After every shower multiple towels were needed to mop up the water, and it did continue to pool through out our 3 days there. So bring heaps of towels. The house is large and great for family gatherings, but the beds and bedding provided are old and musty, so definitely bring your own bedding and pillows. The biggest issue would be that the lake itself is not easily accessible from the house at all, we did not venture down the hill as we were not brave enough. Kate and her team were good to deal with. Overall a nice big house, but in need of a spruce up.
4.4
It's hard to give a fair review as It's a nice old house but the management was terrible.
The issue was with the management that was pretty useless when the key snapped in the lock. Obviously a old key which she later admitted and not the first time. Instead of helping us she let us wait outside in the rain for 3h not taking any responsibility on top of that she was really rude and tryed to blame us even though we where several adults saying that it snapped and we didn't do anything out of the ordinary. If I was the owner I would want to be made aware of the lack of her management of the property and the guests.
Then again the house was really nice and in a nice location. It has some issues with leaking water around windows but it was really heavy rain .

We loved our stay at Bowerbird House. It has an excellent layout with plenty of space, a well equipped kitchen and a relaxed atmosphere in a secluded and leafy location. We enjoyed the lovely gardens and had many coffees and chats on the deck which has filtered views of the lake. The surrounding area is beautiful with many wonderful beaches, lakes and forests to explore. A perfect location and house for a family get-together.

Great open planned house perfect for 2 families and cousins catching up together. Lots of space in well stocked kitchen. Open fire and air conditioning needed for winter to warm the house but once warm it was perfect. Outside lots of space for kids to play and table tennis table fun but take your own balls. Would be great if there was a few kayaks for the lake though as the hire place wasn’t open when we went to hire one. We felt relaxed and enjoyed our catch up

A very well presented and large property. It was a very comfort stay for 11 of us (6 adults and 5 kids). A small bushwalk will lead to a lagoon (kind of) which is a great fishing area. The lawn is great for kids playing. The house was very clean and the bathrooms and toilets are seperate which is a plus for bigger groups especially when there are more than one family. The kitchen had plenty of utensils and supply if you wish to cook. Overall a great stay over the weekend.

Fantastic Stay
Couldn't fault the property. 6 of us, all aged 69-75, stayed here for 3 nights. Had a great time with lots of bushwalking within 1/2 hour drive of Bowerbird and only 1/2 hour drive to Forster. Bowerbird had everything we needed in a quiet and peaceful street. Definitely recommend staying here and we will be back maybe one day.
4.4
Great house for a group getaway. We loved the two living rooms arrangement and the whole set up of the house in general. Great lawn for kids to run around on and the table tennis table provided lots of entertainment. It was also a pleasant bush walk to the lake and a nice, quiet neighbourhood providing total privacy. Kate was fabulous in answering all our questions and very helpful in general. What a great weekend!

Stay at Bowerbird
Property was overall pleasant. It was the little things that could be improved.
Eg towels and bath mats in bathroom very old, no dishwashing liquid in container. No spare toilet rolls.

Our stay at Bowerbird !
The property was great. Main bedroom mattress could do with updating otherwise comfy! The birdlife amazing, pity about the smoke but can’t help that!
4.4
Backed Up Bathroom
One of the toilets was backed up on the last night of our stay – which happened to be a long weekend – and started to overflow, even into some of the bedrooms. The property manager was lovely and prompt in her response however we were told that both bathrooms (and draining any water) would be out of action overnight because of where the blockage was and how it was closest to the main outlet.
It was mentioned that this wasn't the first time this had happened, and if that's the case, the owners should look into that. You can't keep renting a house out to large groups if the plumbing cannot handle large groups!
The plumber arrived early in the morning and we stayed back to make sure the issue was resolved before the next guests arrived. He let us know that in fact the clogged toilet would not have affected anything else as everything drained in the opposite direction (towards the back of the house).
Mostly these things are no ones fault but as mentioned, if this is reoccurring then perhaps the plumbing is not adequate for bookings of up to 12 people.
