Location & Local Attractions

Pacific Palms is a small enclave locked in by Myall Lakes National Park, Wallis Lakes, Smiths Lake, Booti Booti National Park, and the Pacific Ocean. Together make over 100 kilometres of lakes hugging the coastline with only sand dunes a lot of the time separating the lakes from the ocean. Smiths lake is located in between Myall Lakes and Wallis Lake and is 20 mins drive south of Forster and 2.5/3.5 hours drive from Sydney.

The house sits elevated high on the ridge overlooking the lake beach and distant islands. The position is second to none in Smiths Lake, enabling you to enjoy the spectacular scenery, the sun and the views! The house is also a short stroll to the local shops: bakery, grocery, butcher, liquor shop, take-away, hairdresser/beautician and is next door to the famous 'Frothy Coffee' Cafe/boatshed (what more do you need)!

LOCAL ATTRACTIONS:

* Boating straight to the surf beach
* Bush walks, 4WD tracks in Booti Booti and Myall lakes National Parks
* Excellent 9 hole golf coarse at Sandbar ~ $12 per 9 holes
* Best Mid North Coast surf beaches of Blueys, Boomerang and Elizabeth and Celito within 5 minutes drive for all your favourite water sports.
* Iconic Frothy Coffee Boatshed serving delicious light lunches, dinners and snacks is just next door with canoe, sailing and motor boat hire available.

This was a great house! Plenty of space for everyone! Amazing view, but difficult driveway.
We had a great stay here! Great access to water and coffee shop. We loved the quirky nature of the art work. The house did have a strong unpleasant smell when we arrived (perhaps the cleaning products?), but was ok when aired out. The kitchen was jammed pack with a lot of things so had everything you needed but not much space left. Loved the view and cosy couch, great bit outdoor space out the back. Great place for kids, peaceful bushy surrounds. We loved it and would definitely go back!

Awesome place
We were a group of 6 friends spending a relax weekend in this beautiful gem. The house has an amazing view of the lake, it is incredibly decorated and well equipped. The location is 5 min walking to the lake. Karla was the best host. We will definitely come back!
