Smiths Lake is ideal for SUP, kayaking, walking and relaxing in this beautiful retreat. The surrounding beaches are so quiet (nothing like Bondi). The kids favourite was Elizabeth Beach due to the waves for boogie boarding (I liked this one too because there's no rip unlike Blueys or others in the area) My favourite was lighthouse beach at Seal Rocks where we watched a pod of dolphins surfing the waves - that was magic.
The house itself is lovely. Tastefully decorated, fully stocked and the views of the lake and bush are delightful. Our children (who are tweens) enjoyed the two kayaks - providing them with hours of entertainment, time I took advantage of to read a book. If it's hot and there's no breeze sleeping can be difficult but if you keep the louver windows open and the temp drops during the night you'll get some reprieve.
