Indoor Areas

The home features a beautifully appointed open plan kitchen / dining / living area (with TV, DVD player and Chromecast) leading to a further dining room, perfectly situated for those who like a ‘kid’s table’ and ‘adult’s table’ when dining on holidays! The living room also opens onto the deck. The main bedroom (with TV) has access to both the deck and rear yard; the second bedroom is close by, as is a bathroom (with shower) and separate toilet. There is a third bedroom, plus a gorgeous main bathroom (with large freestanding bath, shower, and toilet), and a laundry.

Outdoor living is catered for as well, with a shady deck opening off the living room. This delightful space is equipped with a gas BBQ and a quality outdoor setting and leads to the rear yard. There is even an outdoor shower (with hot and cold water) to wash off the sand! Parking is well catered for too, with a double carport and a long driveway with parking for two extra vehicles.

Kitchen

The fully appointed kitchen is equipped with cooking utensils, crockery, cutlery, microwave, an Aldi pod coffee machine, soda stream, toaster, kettle, etc. plus a double sink, fridge, dishwasher, 900mm gas oven with cook top.

Linen

It is common in the region for some linen to be provided for bookings, and some linen to be available as an optional extra. By default, a booking at this home does not include optional linen (top & bottom sheets, bath towels and pillowcases). What is included are doonas (quilts) with covers, pillows without covers, tea towels, hand towels and bathmats. If you would like the optional linen included in your booking, please let us know, including which beds you would like it provided for. The additional cost would be a one-off charge of $30 per bed (some sites add a service fee to these costs) - and we prefer 7 days' notice prior to your arrival to get that arranged.

Peak Periods

Please note that during the peak summer period and other peak times, check in times are set as 3pm (unless by prior arrangement). Please also note that if you avail of the optional linen hire over these times, it may involve linen being left out but beds not being made up.

Spacious and modern
Big house with plenty of space. Modern, fresh and good location. Small things only for property owner to consider: hooks on walls in laundry and second bathroom to hang towels, ironing, bags etc. Improve cleaning of details like soap holder in both showers, remove used items in drawers and outdoor table/chairs clean. Apart from this I can highly recommend this place for a great family stay!

Great value stunning home
Everything you need was there, home clean and spacious, great for entertaining, fabulous for furry 4 legged friend, comfortable beds, swish bathrooms, well stocked kitchen. Really fabulous value and much enjoyed by all. Short walk to the beach and the firewood supply ensured that we kept cosy and warm - house was quiet and just perfect for our weekend getaway. Thank you

Great house, short walk to general store and beach. Our old dog enjoyed the ramp - deck was great!
Everything was great, easy from booking to arriving to leaving. The owners might want to invest in a new BBQ-we cleaned the hot plate up enough to cook on but don’t think the grill is salvageable. Also, didn’t worry us but front door lock is quite loose and hard to lock/unlock-might want to get it checked for security reasons. Otherwise, thank you! We loved our week in Smiths Beach!
