Location

In between the Wallis and Myall Lakes is the smaller but just as majestic Smiths Lake, offering warm calm waters separated from the ocean by an impressive sandbar formation. Great Lakes Council does open this entrance when the waters in the lake become too high or need replenishing.

The township of Smiths Lake is approximately 25km south of Forster. Some three quarters of the catchment is forested or waterway. The lake is a largely undisturbed estuary of high scenic value. The town of Smiths Lake is located on the northern shore of the estuary and the southern shores are included within the Myall Lakes.

Our home Amaroo is beautifully positioned at a higher elevation on the edge of Smiths Lake. The prime positioning of the home gives you the opportunity to soak in the beauty and the tranquility of the lake.

The home is a short walk to the Smiths lake local shops. The town shops consist of a newsagent which stock groceries and videos for hire, a bakery, a liquor shop and a butcher. There is also a homely cafe and a beauty/hairdressing salon in the local shopping area.

A five minute drive from the house takes you to the PacificPalms shopping area near Blueys and Boomerang beach. This complex is equipped with more shops and restaurants to satisfy any holiday makers needs. In effect, most essentials can be obtained from the Smiths Lake local shops and the shops in Pacific Palms near Blueys and Boomerang beach. The welcome letter we email you when the home is booked gives you comprehensive information on activities, restaurants as well as more details of our beautiful suburb so that you can make the most of your holiday.

  • "We visite Amaroo in much need of some quiet time and tranquility. We got even more than we bargained for.This is a very quiet and peaceful spot. Sitting on the deck relaxing is quite mezmerizing. The house is even more spectacular than on the website if possible. The view is beautiful and uncrowded and the sound of birds is never far away. The experience is thoroughly recommended."

  • "We loved the house and surrounds-Smiths Lake is stunning and quiet and close to Forster without the overcrowded feel of Forster. We would love to visit again. The view is spectacular."

  • "What a great position on the shores of Smiths Lake. We ate every meal on the deck overlooking the lake. (Watch out for the Kookas - they can pick up a whole steak in their beaks!) In the evenings we went fishing at the bottom of the yard and watched the sun set. The house was handy to the boatshed cafe - a 10 minute walk or a leisurely canoe paddle. Overall, an enjoyable holiday ion a lovely location. "
    Chris, February 2010
     
  • "We really enjoyed our stay at Amaroo, the house was great, big enough for the kids to have their own space. We ate all of our meals on the deck overlooking the lake which was just beautiful. It's a short walk to Frothy Coffee Cafe, a well known local landmark where you can relax and enjoy a meal, swim and fish."
    Kathy and Chris, February 2010
     
  • "We had a wonderful stay at Amaroo. The house over delivers what's described on the website - spectacular views, spacious, clean and fully equipped for all the holiday needs. We'd also like to thank the owners for their timely responses to our enquires. Overall, we highly recommend this place."

  • "We had a great weekend away from Sydney witht he kids. The place was big enough for 2 families and the kids loved the chalet styled house with the open foyer and staircase...they asked if we could move there forever. We hand fed kookaburras from the balcony, had an awesome bbq and watched a spectacular sunset (believe me, spectacular is the only way to describe it). Would love to visit again during summertime to enjoy the beautiful beaches closeby. "

  • "Lovely relaxing location and great views over the lake from back veranda. The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed. We just went with our baby daughter but it'd be a great house to go to with a group of friends or family."
    Mairead, May 2008
     
  • "We really enjoyed our stay at Amaroo. The house was great, and the location was everything we hoped for. It was wonderful being able to sit out on the deck and eat our meals - the possums only came one night, but we made them welcome. We have holidayed at several places up and down the coast, but Smiths Lake had a nice holiday village feel, which we really enjoyed."
