Aqua Vista is a unique and unforgettable holiday home, nestled in the picturesque town of Smiths Lake, New South Wales. The house was purchased by Sabrina's Dutch parents as a small family home, when they were still living in the Netherlands so they could be closer to their (grand) children who had all moved to Australia. Since then, Sabrina and her family have been coming to Aqua Vista with their 3 children, who are now young adults.
What makes Aqua Vista so unique is its stunning location and serene setting. The house is built on a hill, providing sweeping views of the stunning Smiths Lake and the lush greenery. From the balcony, you can enjoy the breathtaking views, take in the natural beauty of the surrounding forests and fresh air. Use the torch on your mobile if arriving at night to use the stairs (see photos).The yard is unfenced.There is an old, steep, & rocky bushpath to the lake. It is not a walking track, but is surrounded by lush vegetation that can grow over the path.
The house is designed with comfort in mind, offering space for everyone to enjoy the peaceful and tranquil surroundings. The open-plan living area flows seamlessly to the balcony, where you can enjoy meals, drinks, or just relax with your loved ones.
What makes Aqua Vista even more unique is its location. Myall Lakes offers a unique and unforgettable experience. The pristine beaches are renowned for their natural beauty and offer a wealth of opportunities for whale watching, diving, sailing, hiking, and exploring. The town of Smiths Lake is small and friendly, with a strong sense of community, making it an ideal spot for a relaxing break. We also have great restaurants, with high-end and more affordable options for everybody in Forster and Blueys Beach.
Aqua Vista offers the perfect blend of tranquillity, natural beauty, and warm hospitality. Come and experience the natural beauty, the tranquil setting, and the warm community of Smiths Lake, and make memories that will last a lifetime.
Welcome to our home away from home! We're thrilled to have you as our guest and we're committed to making your stay as unforgettable as possible.

Becky, our wonderful local host, is always happy to make your stay comfortable and is happy to help with any inquiries or assistance you may need during your stay. Whether it's providing directions to a nearby attraction or recommending a local restaurant.
If you're looking for a place to work remotely, Sabrina highly recommends Aqua Vista. As someone who loves visiting the area and working from here, I find it the perfect combination of work and relaxation that the area provides. With a calm environment and great restaurants and outdoor activities nearby, Aqua Vista is the ideal place to stay for a little longer.
Once again, we're thrilled to have you as our guest and we hope you feel right at home during your stay. If there's anything we can do to make your experience more enjoyable, please don't hesitate to ask.
