Very spacious and clean! Great place to spend time with family and friends, good location, quiet street from the crowd in town! Highly recommended and the house will be our first choice coming back to Forster again.
We had a great time. Such a convenient location in a friendly neighbourhood. Walking distance to the lake & short drive to beautiful beaches. We enjoyed having breakfast on the front porch that had a view of the lake. There was everything that we needed on the property.

Nice and quiet place
Ross house was very neat and clean.
It is also very close to local shops and cafes.
We really had a great time.
Also Ross is very responsive host. He reponded all my queries within few hrs .
Beautiful property, immaculately clean and the owner was a pleasure to deal with. Lovely spot to sit on the front balcony - lake views and lots of active bird life to watch and listen to including owls overnight . Short drive into Boomerang for dinner and 10 minute walk to Smiths Lake shops for supplies. All the beaches nearby; can’t wait to return!
What a great place with lots of space for 2 families of 4. Bright with morning sun in the kitchen and lake sunsets from the lounge or balcony in the afternoon. Double lockup garage is a nice touch with direct access to the kitchen space.Clean house with everything you need. Quiet location. Easy access. Lounge was so comfy I fell asleep on it one afternoon haha.One thing to note, the elevation. If like me you are wanting to kayak, you are best to drop it on the car and head to the beach area near Frothies café. From the house the water is accessible but via a steep short road. Some nice fishing close by as well.Ross the owner is responsive and courteous.
Great location, close to lake & short drive to beaches. Quiet street with lots of birdlife. Very roomy house with comftable furniture, plenty of tablewear, cookwear & appliances. Ceiling fans were sufficient at keeping the place ventilated in humid wearher. Clean & well stocked with every day cleaning essentials.
Mobile reception was non existent for 3 different companies so communicating with house members was difficult when we were out for the day.
What a perfect spot for a long weekend getaway with my hubby and two young kids. Great location, absolutely spotless and had everything we could need. Would definitely recommend.
Avalon is a beautiful, peaceful home to stay in. Ross was a very attentive host. Our big kids really appreciated the coffee pods which were great as I hadn’t packed any. We mainly cooked at home and had everything there we needed. The beds were comfortable, garage a plus and couldn’t fault anything. Thank you Ross for sharing your beautiful home!
A spacious holiday home positioned with a great view of the lake through beautiful gum trees. Close to shops, kayaking, boat ramp and 10 minutes drive to the most beautiful beaches.
A beautiful, spacious home in a quiet area was the perfect, post-Christmas getaway for a group of friends.
The location was great as a base for walks, beach visits, fishing, surfing etc, and the home was ideal for relaxing with a good book or in front of a movie (the couches were a hit!)
Ross was very prompt with communication, which was also super helpful.
In terms of the area, there aren't a lot of options close by in terms of dining out in the evening, so you will either need to cook on the BBQ or in the well-equipped kitchen or drive the 20 minutes to Forster. Also, internet reception can be somewhat patchy in the area (but sufficient.)
Definitely recommend!
thank you so much Ross for sharing your little piece of paradise with us, we were 3 mums who took their kids for a short break and we had an unbelievable time. The house was clean , spacious and very very comfortable especially the lounge with all the recliners, so much so kids gave up their beds and wanted to sleep on the couches! Beautiful view of smiths, short stroll to the lake and a truly surreal view of the star lite night sky from the front porch.
Highly recommend this spot if you haven't been there already.

Hi Ana,
Glad you and your friends had a nice time in our little touch of paradise. The lakes area is rather unique spot.
Thank you for cleaning the house before leaving.
Lovely well kept house in a quiet street just a short walk to the lake - kitchen provisions are great (no shortage of cooking implements, crockery, cutlery, etc)
We had a wonderful 5 nights , the property was very clean, kitchen great with everything we needed to cook every meal, comfy beds, could walk to to lake and cafe and enjoy great sunsets every night - the fire was the cherry on top!
Ross was very easy to deal with and nothing was too much trouble , will definitely be back in summer !
Our family had a lovely time staying at this property. It’s was clean, very comfortable and a lovely place to stay. Owners were very accommodating and excellent to deal with.
Everything, from the beginning search to checking out, was easy and smooth. My family and I truly enjoyed our 4 nights at Avalon! We loved the spacious accommodation and found the house sparkling clean and fully supplied with all the essentials! A beautiful location very close to the lake. Ross was a great host who communicated well before, throughout and after our stay. Highly recommended!
Comfortable house with a nice fire for chilly nights! It would be good if there was a bit stronger water pressure as the bath took forever to fill. Loved the lake views!
