Kara was a great host with quick responses. The house was clean and comfortable with a very well equipped kitchen. The little extras like oil, salt and cling wrap in the kitchen and shampoo in the bathroom were very handy. Smiths Lake is a lovely quiet location with the lake, cafe and boat/kayak hire a few minutes walk from the house. We enjoyed kayaking on the lake and exploring the beautiful surf beaches in the area. The back deck was a relaxing spot to end the day - loved the daybed! It was awesome to watch the flying foxes from the deck and enjoy the spectacle on dusk as hundreds took to the sky!
