    Smiths Lake : For those wanting to enjoy still waters instead of the open ocean, Smiths Lake is the number one choice in the Pacific Palms area. Shrouded by a lush littoral forest and neatly separated from the sea by Sandbar Beach, this is a family favourite for those eager to enjoy a spot of water-skiing, boating, paddling or windsurfing (the open lake waters making for a windsurfers dream). With an impressive catchment area spanning 32 square kilometres and waterways of 11 square kilometres you can enjoy all the benefits of this unique, tucked-away calm waterway. However, should you feel a pull for the waves, the picturesque Cellito Beach can be accessed via a boardwalk at the northern end of Sandbar Beach.

We had a lovely stay , the pool was great, the outlook out the back over the tree was amazing, so many birds and not too far to the lake, good amenities, tho it took us days to find the chopping boards which were slid hidden up next to microwave. Also, the sep bedroom near the pool was a bit musty and needed to be well aired out before I could sleep in it, I recommend leaving a window open a little so it can breath, other than that it was perfect.

Lovely home, great for large family

Great location, quiet and comfortable. Bird life everywhere. Great living areas for large family. Beautiful back deck with views to the water. Fantastic pool that is out of the wind and central to the living areas.

Peaceful getaway

Lovely house, could do with more maintaining, the deck was rotten (my husband’s foot went through the deck twice!) The kitchen lacked basic equipment eg. the oven switch was broken and the bread board was in two pieces. Much of the equipment in poor condition.

Great Stay!

A really good experience the house is spacious and clean. We were disappointed with the state of the bbq which did not work so we had to go out and buy our own and a pool cleaner would have been nice! Overall we had a great time staying here this property is pretty for large families I encourage anyone who is thinking of booking this property to book now you’ll love it !

A beautiful spot in Smiths Lake

The house was spacious and well equipped with beautiful views. The check in and out process would have been easier with a lock box. A basic folder with things to do in the area and how things worked in the house would also have been helpful. Not having mobile reception or wi fi was a little challenging.
