Gorgeous, spacious, character weatherboard cottage surrounded by palm trees with lovely lake views, 3 hrs north of Sydney. Situated in the exclusive "point" area of Smiths Lake village, Blues Cottage was one of the first houses at the point, just a stone's throw from Amaroo Beach, the Frothy Coffee Boatshed and the boatramp. Tastefully furnished with Balinese-style and wicker furniture, open plan living, polished timber floors, french doors opening onto large sunny decks and a wood combustion heater for cosy winter nights.
Sleeps up to 14 people in 5 bedrooms (8 beds). * Prices & specials are based on up to 6 adults and 6 children. Extra adults up to a max of 14 incur an extra charge.
We welcome well-behaved dogs at Blues Cottage by prior arrangement. They have the run of the back deck off the kitchen and the fully fenced back garden. At night, they can sleep in the cosy sunroom, which is covered and enclosed, We regret that dogs are not permitted in the actual house. Doggy tariff is $10 per dog.

The cottage is a superb home and made our holiday a little easier with the comforts of home. Plenty of room for a couple like us and looking forward to coming back with friends!
Thanks Jackie - we can't wait to come back!
Of course there are always ideas for making a place better...
- I think that there was a DVD player upstairs, but no DVDs.
- Strangely, the house was very lacking in basics. We have stayed a many holiday rentals and this was the shortest on essentials like salt, sugar, a single satchet of coffee and tea and a small carton of milk on arrival, that we have ever experienced. There also was NO powder for the washing machine! I rang the caretaker to ask where this may be found and she said they did not provide it! Amazing.
