House holiday rentals in Smiths Lake

The places was clean and easy to find. It had everything we needed and extra. The other guests on this short vacation walked and and were just wow-ed by how the place looked. It was a great stay! Thank you so much for approving our booking!

My mother and I absolutely loved staying here. Inside and out was actually even better than the photos showed. Was a comfortable, tidy, modern, quiet space. Outside with the spa, pool and sauna made us feel like we were in a resort in Bali. Given the chance we will definitely stay again.

It is an absolute fantastic place. Very peaceful with great views. Feels like heaven on earth. The inside of the house is very clean, spacious and has everything that you would need. Bev is a very nice and friendly host and it was an absolute delight talking to her. My husband and I and also our two dogs loved it so much that we will definitely come back here whenever we can. It was one of the best places that we have been to. From the check in until it was time to leave everything was perfect. We would highly recommend this beautiful place to anyone. I guess the the only part that we didn't like was leaving 😞. Many thanks Bev until next time 😊

This is a lovely retreat which makes you feel on top of the world - with incredible views north over the Port Stephens peninsula. At night the stars are incredible. The house itself is modern, clean and fresh with everything you'd need - and the beds are very comfortable. The communal spa and pool is beautiful - and the water temperature was perfect. The whole place feels like a mini private resort. Jane was very communicative with clear instructions. Would definitely stay here again.

We loved our stay at Lauren’s place! Beautiful, modern interior, walking distance to Shoal Bay for restaurants, pub, bike hire or to watch the dolphins at sunset. Or for the more intrepid, lots of hiking options right out the back door. The house was so well-equipped we also spent some days enjoying the pool, pizza oven and outdoor entertaining area. Highly recommended!

Jay and Rod’s home was beautiful! We had a wedding to attend at the Little Beach Boathouse, and this place was the perfect location as we could easily walk down to the venue. Would definitely recommend!

This is the second time I have stayed here and it is a beautiful home for a weekend away for one as a retreat or for a family getaway. Thoroughly enjoyable.

A great property to base yourself while in Shoal Bay. 10 minute walks into Shaol Bay, or to the beaches. To have Wreck beach 10 minute walk from your door is fantastic. Beds are extremely comfortable and the house was perfect for what we wanted. If we do get the opportunity to visit Shoal Bay again, we defiantly hope to stay here again.

Perfect place for a family get together - had everything we needed- and enjoyed a walk to the lake and a drive to the nearby beaches.

What an amazing few days at Fish Cakes. Loved every minute and will definitely be back!

Our second stay at fabulous Seal way and we had the best time. Lucked out with some fine weather after all the heavy rain and even did some stargazing on the first night around the outdoor fire pit. The only bad thing about this house is that you have to leave !!!! We will be back for sure Thanks so much

It’s a fantastic stay. Beautiful Lakehouse. Great for a family of 4. Got plenty to do at the premises, sauna by the lakeside, kayaking at Cooma Bay and cooking in the beautiful kitchen with the freshly picked vegetables from the garden. Also, there are two lovely doggies, Matilda and Bella checked us in and out. Amazing host!

We had a fantastic stay at Alex’s place! The space was exactly as described—super clean, well maintained, and thoughtfully set up. Everything was incredibly functional, from the layout to the amenities, which made the stay really comfortable and convenient. You can tell Alex puts care into making sure guests have a great experience. Highly recommend staying here if you're looking for a hassle-free and enjoyable trip!

Beautiful location and space! Worked well for our group of 8 people and everything was really clean on arrival. Nice and easy to pop to the lake and close to some lovely beaches :) really good deal too! Would have been good to have had sheets provided and some aircon in the main space as it was very warm the week we stayed, but other than that would highly recommend! Thanks

We had a lovely family stay at Cameron’s holiday home, a very special place with tropical private landscaping, indoor outdoor living with cosy fireplace and close to the beach and shops. Looking forward to our next stay!

Great place! The terrace has an amazing view over the ocean. We will be back!

Highly recommend staying at Nicolette’s place. Easy communication and check-in. Place was as beautiful as displayed on the pictures and had all amenities we needed for a fabulous stay. The location was perfect as well!

Loved every minute of our stay! The house was stocked with everything we could have needed, bbq, beach and paddle boards for the bay. Thank you to our wonderful hosts.

Mick and Esti were amazing host and very friendly. They set up the sauna for us and showed us how to use the ice bath plus gave us tips how to use the braai! An amazing place to sit down and wind down with friends and family.

We had a wonderful mini-holiday at Piccola Positano, despite the weather not being great. We found Tom and Liz's place even nicer than in the photos, which is rare, and absolutely loved listening to the sound of the ocean from the front porch. So relaxing! The place was clean and tidy, the beds were really comfy, the pool was huge and the garden was lovely. Sunset there was beautiful. The beach is just a very short stroll down the front yard but if you don't want to have to go through the prickly grass, you can drive there in about 30 seconds (or walk along the street and be there in a few minutes). The cafe Tom and Liz recommended was delicious, and again just a short drive or walk away. The local pub also served good food. Taree and Forster are about a 30 minute drive. We highly recommend!!

We didn’t want to leave Carinya! It is a beautiful private spot but so close to all we needed. We could pop down to single fin for a coffee in the morning and amble to boat beach or number one for a swim or surf. Carinya is a such a special spot with the sound of the ocean and wildlife and surrounded by beautiful natives, we could have also happily spent a day without leaving its grounds! Wayne is the most responsive host and super helpful. Seals is a a wonderland we love showing our family when they visit.

Beautiful location, we had a great time, would stay again

We had a great stay, the house was in a great location. We went out on the kayaks and had a really fun time. The house is as described and the host was very accommodating. Would come back.

This is one of the best Airbnb’s I’ve stayed at - the house, hospitality and location were spot on. The house is great for groups with several locations to eat/hang out in, but as it has two wings and balconies off the bedrooms, privacy if you want it. It’s architecturally designed and it shows - you can see and hear the sea from some of the bedrooms. It’s also well equipped - the beds were v comfy with lovely linen, the kitchen was well stocked (we cooked every night, and even made a cake) and had nice little touches like Aesop and Leif in the bathrooms, and Koala Eco cleaning products, decent olive oil and citronella coils etc etc. Julie was also great - she intercepted and unpacked my Woolies delivery a day early (!) She was flexible with check in, and was quick and friendly to respond. Finally, Bluey’s / the Mid North Coast is absolutely beautiful - great for surfing and hiking. It’s a laid back location, perfect for a chilled out Easter / long weekend.
