House Location

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 hours drive from Sydney.

The house is perched 20 metres high on the lakes edge overlooking Ski Cove. This is one of the prized positions of Smiths Lake as it is in a secluded quiet spot overlooking and fronting the best part of lake. This part of the lake has lots of calm shallow sandy bottomed water to swim in (Ideal for kids).

The house is also a short stroll to the locals shops: bakery, grocery/news agency, butcher and liquor shop. There is also a hairdresser/beauty salon and the Good Food Store local cafe (great coffee) (what more do you need)!

The Frothy Coffee, open 7 days and situated on the lake at Amaroo alongside the boat ramp. You can enjoy a morning coffee or lunch and then hire watercraft at the sailing club there.

We have a local chemist, doctors, a few specialty shops etc. are a short drive away at Blueys and Boomerang Beach there are also restaurants, cafe's, and clubs for dining out.

The Kembali Café and take away at Blueys is also another great option of local restaurants within the area.

Local Attractions

Pacific Palms, Wallis and Smiths Lake surrounded by National Parks and secluded pristine beaches. Smiths Lake is separated from the ocean by a natural sand Bar and great for all water sports and safe swimming for the kids.

There is a beautiful picnic area at the Seal Rocks lighthouse, just south of Smiths Lake, where migrating whales can be spotted travelling north in the winter. There are two nine-hole golf courses in the area, as well as 18-hole courses in Forster and Tuncurry, National Parks, rain forests, boat hire (Smiths Lake and Forster) local markets, bird watching, bush walking and four-wheel drive access to Sandbar Beach.

Home away from home!
Beautiful home, styled and decorated with love by the owners. Fantastic views of Smiths Lake with amazing sunsets. Our teens enjoyed the pool and table tennis tables each night after enjoying the beaches during the day. We loved our little getaway.

Simply superb!
A beautiful home perched high above the lake with a view through the gum trees over the lake. There are lots of birds and it’s very serene. The house is decorated with a beach theme. The kitchen is extremely well equipped and the fabulous games room has plenty of games/puzzles as well as the table tennis table etc. plenty to do on a rainy day. The path down to the lake is steep and if you wish to avoid it, you can do a 5 minute walk down the road to the edge of the lake. We were a family group of 3 generations and we all walked down on the road, and up via the path. The youngest was 5, the oldest 70, so it’s easily doable. We certainly hope to return.

Great location, bird life was in abundance.
Great location ,bit hard to navigate the track to the canoes and kayaks. Steps too high. Bit of danger with steel Reo sticking up.in parts. Prob be safer with a rope hand rail. Bbq was not clean from previous guests, fat tray,bin, had cockroaches in. I cleaned it and the plate before and after I used. Overall house was clean amenities were great.

Very peaceful
Beautiful views over the lake, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen (pots pans etc), lovely furnishings and air conditioning in nearly every room this home was a relaxing stay. If you don't want to use the canoe/kayaks provided, spectacular beaches are 10mins drive away. The path from the house to the lake will require agility but is doable and worth it.

About the host

Hosted by Julie & Philip

Host profile image
We have been together since we were 16 (high school sweet hearts) we are professional people and we have a daughter and a son and daughter in law and 2 dogs Ziggy and Rue border collies. We have been associated with the Smiths Lake for the past 25 years. If we are not out on the lake boating we are sitting on the back deck relaxing watching the sunset or swimming and walking at one of the many local beaches. Its a magical place and once you spend time in the area you won't wish to leave!

Why they chose this property

We were looking for a house that when you open the front door you take in the magnificent view of the Lake. This property is perched high overlooking the blue water of Smiths Lake and the house gives us lots of sun in the morning and then in the afternoon where the sun sets are spectacular. The street is a no through road so it doesn't receive much traffic and the area is peaceful and quiet.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with the view you are never tired of sitting on the back deck and taking in the view watching the world pass you by. You will enjoy all the little extra touches that are provided in the house that many other holiday houses don't provide. Our beds are comfortable and the house is air conditioned so whether summer or winter you are covered. The area is so quiet no traffic noise just the serenity of this magical area.
