The view from The Studio is absolutely superb. A very comfortable bed. Pet friendly. Nice hosts that respected our privacy but very friendly when we did cross paths. An absolute pleasure and can’t wait to visit again. This place is something that it’s owners should be very proud of.

Felicity Australia

It is 1st trip to bring our puppy with us. We stayed there for 5 nights and had wonderful time. The property has direct access to the lake with beautiful view. Rob and Marzena were very friendly. Highly recommended.

Linda Australia

The owners hospitality, the stunning view, the comfy bed and the amazing shower.

Rafaela Australia

Amazing location and deck overlooking the lake. You felt like you were actually in the bush and miles from civilisation even though that wasn’t the case. Loved that the native birds would come o to the deck at dusk for a feed. The owners left a little tub of birdseed so we could feed them. They were so tame they were eating out of our hands and walking over our heads. The property itself was well equipped with everything you would possibly need or want. Would love to come back again when the weather is fine as we pretty well had rain the whole time we were there.

Teresa Australia

The hosts were so lovely and helpful nothing was to much trouble .All aspects of our stay were over and above our expectactions .YOU WONT BE DISSAPOINTED😊

Shiralee Australia

Quality accommodation, immaculately kept. Beautiful view from expansive deck. Its a studio, so kitchen is basic (small fridge, no dishwasher) but has essentials and was spacious and comfortable.

Guy Australia

Fabulous Studio and property in a perfect location. Great hosts.

Sd Australia

The owners were friendly and helpful, I was made to feel welcome. The room was beautiful and the view and location amazing. The owners pride themselves in presenting the property and this is shown by how well maintained the building and grounds are kept. I had a dog with me and this was no problem.

Michael Australia

Beautiful location and view. Enjoyed the tranquility. Facilities were great.

Ursula Australia

Superb location. We enjoyed the artwork and the comfortable pavilion accomodation. It was a relaxing, enjoyable weekend break. We highly recommend and would enjoy revisiting.

Smiths Lake House is a fantastic property right on the lake with glorious water views and is ready for your relaxing getaway. You can stay in a private Studio (for 2 guests) or in a private 2brm Pavilion (for 4 guests). Both sections are separate, private and have everything you may need! Our house is known for cleanliness, stylish modern decor and easy going hosts ready to attend to your needs. Read the reviews and just book - you will love it here! And look at the price!
Rob & Marzena are a middle aged couple running this very successful private holiday rental. We also co-host other holiday properties in Smiths Lake. We have travelled a lot and so far have hosted well over 3 thousand bookings so we feel we know how to provide a wonderful experience for you in an exceptional property
Smiths Lake is a lovely small holiday village 3 hours north of Sydney. Our house is situated right on the lake and is only minutes drive from many gorgeous and clean beaches. In our area, we have many little shops, cafes, national parks, boat and kayak higher, boat ramps, playgrounds etc Forster is only 20min away - there are many big supermarkets there, more beautiful beaches, restaurants and other tourist attractions there (dolphin cruises, horse riding on the beach, surfing and many other water sports)
