Bushland Retreat beside a beautiful lake - big eco house with 4 large bedrooms.

Our guest reviews are most believable & say it best...
“This is a magical spot! Beautiful house located 1 quiet street back from Smiths Lake and well hidden behind shrubs and trees. The space is stylish, light and airy, with lovely new bathrooms & a large, well-equipped kitchen. Close to exceptional beaches including Cellito, Blueys & Seal Rocks.

The garden is totally secure, even for our Houdini dog. The kayaks and dinghy were well-used by the whole family and the dogs. Toby is an excellent host.”

Love our new wood fired pizza oven next to our giant entertaining deck - we have a couple of foodies in our family who love to use it and invite guests over to share the fun.

Couple of great restaurants in nearby Blueys now, plus 2 Clubs providing great 'RSL style' food. Plus Forster is now a booming restaurant scene with many choices and is just 30 minutes drive away.

Great family getaway with plenty of things to do

Amazing layout for our family with plenty of options if the weather isn’t the best. Table tennis was a massive hit with our crew.

A wonderful house!

The house was perfect for our family group. A beautiful location close to the lake for swimming and kyaking. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook up a storm. 3 bathrooms was a great feature. Lovely outdoor areas in the exuberant garden for relaxing. The yard was very secure for our furry family members.
