About this property
Smiths Lake Retreat - located at Smiths Lake
Smiths Lake is a small coastal village approximately 3.5 hours north of Sydney, within the beautiful Great Lakes District. Smiths Lake which surrounds the village is seperated from the ocean by Sandbar Beach a secluded and pristine beach.
SMITHS LAKE RETREAT
The 2 bedroom western red cedar cottage is nestled within a tropical rainforest reserve, with cabbage tree & pacific palms, towering gum trees which are home to cat birds, brush turkeys, black cockatoos, kookaburras, whip birds, bats, possums.....and lots more.The rain-forest at the rear of the house is home to a large bat colony in the warmer months. The bats fly off at dusk to feed elsewhere & most of our guests find this an amazing experience to be able to witness nature so close from the comfort of their own private tree house.
The large partially enclosed rear deck is positioned looking out to the rainforest to maximize the feeling of seclusion and privacy.
