We arrived to a bottle of wine from the host and Casa Del Casson just as it appears in the photos - funky, relaxed and welcoming. The living space was a great place to hang out with views of the beautiful surrounding forest - it felt very private. Comfy beds and well equipped kitchen. We loved eating outside in the private forest garden (just remember mozzie repellent/coils!).

A great place for nature lovers. We loved how quiet Smith's Lake was (except the birds and bats - but those sounds and sights were a treat in themselves) and how the streets were tucked in and around pockets of amazing sub-tropical forest. We found stunning little pockets of white sandy beach on the lake with shallow, clear water (perfect for little kids and kayaking). We were really blown away by the beauty of of Smith's Lake. We have recommended it to everyone.
