- "This property was perfect for our extra long weekend and so well equipped.. the owners have thought of everything.. to the point there wasn’t a single thing that we could think we missed out on.. the 4 year old particularly loved feeding the birds straight off the handrail." - "Thankyou Steve and Leonie for sharing your wonderful property, we had a fabulous week. Even the rain in the last few days did not affect our trip as the house had so much to offer. Totally recommend!"

- "beautiful, breathtaking , relaxing , luxury !" - "Perfect Peaceful getaway" - "An adventurous fun filled stay in a luxurious home that catered for our every need." - "Nice house with but room for improvement"

Escape to the quieter side of Smiths Lake and surrender to the soothing rhythms of nature, without forsaking the creature comforts of home. Fall asleep to the calming sound of waves rolling onto Cellito Beach and wake to a glorious sunrise and the cheerful chorus of the birds.

The full moon glistening on the lake, a billion stars in a velvety sky, the relentless sweep of the Sugarloaf Point lighthouse and the sighing of the casuarinas in a nor'easterly: these are some of the sights and sounds that will stay with you long after you have left the lake.

Begin your day with an early morning swim in the warmer months, before having a leisurely breakfast on the deck. Stroll up to the village for the daily paper or just relax on the sunlounge with a novel or magazine from the well-stocked book shelves. As the day stretches before you, you have the choice of doing nothing in particular, or exploring the many wonders of the Great Lakes area.

A quote from the local tourist brochure captures the essence of this region: it "recreates the wonder of discovery with the nostalgic memory of the perfect childhood holiday".

Blue Poles is a modern holiday house located opposite Smiths Lake and with filtered lake views. The north-easterly aspect, soaring, curved ceilings, tinted glass, louvre shutters, ceiling fans and air-conditioning ensure cooling breezes and comfort in summer. The north-facing covered courtyard is a sheltered, sunny retreat in the winter.

Polished timber floors, fully-equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances, dishwasher and espresso coffee machine, spacious living areas with 42" LCD TV and expansive, covered decks, plus the convenience of one level are features of the house. The master bedroom, which opens on to the deck, includes a walk-in robe and ensuite, while the main bathroom contains a spa and shower, with separate toilet. An internal courtyard between the first and second bedrooms ensures privacy for couples.

Linen (towels, sheets, tea towels etc) is supplied, however, you will need to bring your own beach towels.

Wander across the road to a safe swimming beach, or you may prefer the deeper water of Amaroo Beach or the many nearby pristine surfing beaches. From the house you can walk around the foreshore (lake level permitting) to the Frothy Coffee Boatshed and Cafe, where you can hire boats and windsurfers or indulge in breakfast or a light lunch while you watch the pelicans glide in for a landing. Even the odd seaplane drops in for a visit.

An absolute must for visitors is to take a rug, some wine and nibbles and watch the sun set over the lake opposite Amaroo Beach in Amaroo Drive. The ever-changing colours reflect on the lake long after the sun has disappeared behind the horizon, providing great photo opportunities.

Local Attractions: Smiths Lake and nearby Wallis and Myall Lakes offer a multitude of water-based activities, from swimming and sailing to boating and fishing. Smiths Lake is normally land-locked, divided from the sea by a sandbar. When the lake becomes too full, it is necessary to manually open the bar and release the excess water to the ocean. When the bar is open, the lake becomes tidal.

Magnificent surfing beaches can be found only minutes away at Blueys, Boomerang, Elizabeth and Seal Rocks. There is a beautiful picnic area at the Sugarloaf Point Lighthouse just south of Smiths Lake where migrating whales can be spotted travelling north in early and mid-Winter and in Spring returning to the Antarctic. An interesting and testing nine-hole golf course can be found at Sandbar with 18-hole courses at Forster and Tuncurry.

National parks, rain forests, boat hire (Smiths Lake and Forster), local markets, bird watching, bush walking, horse riding and four-wheel drive access to Sandbar Beach (permit required) are all features of the area. The holiday towns of Forster and Tuncurry are only 20 minutes away and have great restaurants, cafes, many sporting facilities (including indoor aquatic centre), shops, movie theatres, magical whale and dolphin cruises and fun parks.

Pacific Palms Recreation Club and Smiths Lake Bowling Club both have child-friendly bistros and there are other more upmarket restaurants in the immediate area. Smiths Lake Bowling club welcomes guests to try their hand at the sport.

Coles, Aldi and Woolworths supermarkets, plus many variety shops can be found in the Stockland Shopping Centre, south of Forster. Essential items can be readily obtained locally in the Pacific Palms area at Smiths Lake and Blueys Beach. The Smiths Lake shopping village in Macwood Road has a bottle shop, coffee shop and takeaway, butcher, general store (video and DVD hire), newsagent, beauty and hair salon, hot bread and cake shop and real estate office. Gourmet food items can be bought at Blueys Cellar and Deli at Blueys Beach. An excellent new FoodWorks supermarket at Charlotte Bay means it is no longer necessary to travel to Forster for grocery shopping.

For the nature lover, the local bird life is fascinating and king parrots, rainbow and scaly-breasted lorikeets, eastern rosellas, wattle birds, whip birds, bower birds as well as galahs and cockatoos frequently use the bird baths at Blue Poles. We are also visited by possums and brush turkeys roaming the area looking for freshly-dumped mulch to build their amazing nest mounds and, if you are lucky, you may see a meticulously decorated bower built by a bower bird to attract a mate.

- "This wasn’t our first stay here. Which is already a good sign for you if you’re reading this review. The house is well located and well serviced with everything you could need. An easy walk to the water (90 seconds), a wonderful balcony, the delight of the birds (and feeders), provided kayak, comfortable beds and pillows, well stocked kitchen, comfortable (and new!) lounge, nice neighbours (with a vacant block in between)….. I could go on for a while listing the virtues. This is a wonderful house that is clearly well cared for and for us has reflected the perfect escape for a week over the last couple of years. Highly recommended"

- "We stayed for 4 nights at Ripples Lake House. 3 adults, 8 year old twins, and one (spoilt) mini schnauzer. The house was beautifully presented and catered for all our needs. The owners have taken a great deal of care when presenting this property resulting in a wonderful ambience felt by all. It is also fully fenced, making it safe for both children and pets to play. There were even kayaks for us to use, which were brilliant. The location is second to none, with stunning uninterrupted views of the lake. Only 10-15 minutes drive away from a selection of beaches. We would love to return to further explore all this area offers and we would definitely stay at Ripples again. The owners were warm, thoughtful and very helpful. Highly recommend. The twins totally enjoyed their holiday - Monique rated the house 500% and Pippa said "it's the best ever" Thank you again from all of us"

Enjoyed lazing by the gas log fire and having fun in the pool room." - "The house is in a great location - close to everything but private and quiet. The back decks are great places to sit and relax and wait for the birds to visit while enjoying the beautiful surrounding bushland. The house is very well fitted out and had everything we needed for cooking, washing etc., even sharp knives (a rarity in holiday homes). Beds were comfortable and everything was very clean and well organised. There were 4 adults and 2 children plus a small dog and there was plenty of room to spread out.

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.
