Unique Glamping-Style Retreat in Smiths Lake

Escape to this quirky holiday home that blends the comfort of a house with the outdoor charm of glamping. Situated in the heart of Smiths Lake, this unique holiday home is close to the lake and local shops, or you can drive to the local beaches offering the perfect base for surfers, active families, or a small group of friends.

Inside:
2 simple yet comfortable bedrooms, each with ceiling fans and Smart TVs connected to Wi-Fi.
A basic kitchenette equipped with essentials, including a washing machine, kettle, and microwave (note: no oven or stove).

Outside:
A covered entertaining area with a ceiling fan, dining table, lounges, fridge, and a new BBQ, making it a spot to relax and enjoy meals together.
The setup intentionally skips a traditional indoor lounge area, enhancing the "glamping" experience.

Good to Know:

  • You’ll have a private entrance and exclusive use of the space; the friendly owner lives on-site but won’t disturb you during your stay.
  • On-street parking is available.
  • There are stairs leading up to the front glass sliding door and inside the home to the bedrooms and bathroom.
  • Surfboards mounted on the walls are decorative and not for use.

This is a comfortable glamping style home suited to those seeking a laid-back, outdoor-oriented getaway in a vibrant lake community.

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 windsurfer’s 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.
