This house is in a prime position on the lake shore and is architect-designed. It is beautiful and very comfortable on a Winter's weekend with a slow combustion fire to keep everyone warm. Smith's Lake is a beautiful location, plus the children really loved having a playground just across the road

The property was well furnished and a great location for our needs. There were four of us so it allowed us space to ourselves when sought. Would consider supplying a wire brush to clean the bbq grill but apart from that, everything was catered for.

wonderful, happy, family holiday. The Boat House was very welcoming, comfortable, and practical. It is a very quiet place, although busy at times as there is a busy cafe and a boat ramp but that didn't worry us. We took our own canoes, kayaks and paddle boards. We felt comfortable enough with being able to leave the boats on the spit during the day to go to the house and have lunch. We were able to leave the boats in the front yard at night without worry of them. We all had plenty of time to relax, have fun, recharge and spend quality family time. We will definitely be booking again.

Very nice property in great location

Property was generally in excellent condition with great amenities however unfortunately the dishwasher was not working properly which was unfortunate. While the owner and cleaner were responsive to the issue we had to bear the inconvenience. I trust when we return soon the issue will be fixed. Plenty of space inside and outside for entertaining and the kitchen was very well stocked with plates utensils etc and more than most properties. A decent coffee machine was also a nice touch. Two bathrooms are convenient for a group but note both are downstairs. Highly recommend the property and will be back soon

Great house that accommodated 8 adults comfortably. We all loved the design of the house and the practicality of the spaces. It is light, airy and takes full advantage of the beautiful location. Waking up to a cacophony of birds was a particular delight. Definitely on the "go back again" house list.

Loved the location of the property, a quick drive to beautiful beaches. The property itself had amazing views of the lake, clean, spacious and had a good holiday vibe. The only negative is that their wasn’t any fans in dining area and portable fan was dusty. We will definitely be re booking in the near future. Marie Dimanche

Great house, location, view

Great house, location, view

We stayed for 10 days in summer and thoroughly enjoyed the boathouse. The house was well appointed, with a big kitchen and dining room to suit our large group. The design of the house meant that we could keep all the louvers open to get a nice breeze throughout the day, plus there were fans in all rooms. Our group spent all our time travelling to the various beaches in the region in search of surf. Smiths lake is a perfect location for surfers as it is close to both north and south facing beaches at seal rocks, and the beaches of blueys, Elizabeth and boomerang. We also walked across the lake to sandbar and Cellito beach one evening which was magical.

Spent a few days over Christmas at this lovely house. Could easily cater for 8-10 ppl. Loved the louvred windows that allows the nor Easterly breeze to flow through the house and lovely to look at the view through. House and kitchen was one of the most comprehensively equipped I have come across. Very clean and easy to check in.

Great location! Beautiful water views right on top of the lake. Spotlessly clean and well appointed. Large enough to accommodate our extended family comfortably. I wish the many positives could outweigh the one negative. No air conditioning, 90% humidity and no breeze. Regardless of the architectural design it was a very uncomfortable sweaty week.
