Peaceful and relaxing
Our family appreciated the many beautiful and comfortable living areas, inside and out, allowing the family to spread out and relax. The roomy kitchen was well appointed with everything we needed and more, and we loved the ice machine. The house is set amongst a private, peaceful and natural garden with lovely birdlife. The proximity to the lake was a bonus, as we paddled, swam and walked throughout the day. The use of the kayaks and canoe was fantastic. The pool table was also well used! We will definitely be back!

Beautiful property
Wonderful location at Smiths Lake with views to the lake. House is very well set out with plenty of room for families to spread out and a great separate bedroom with ensuite which is very private- great for the grandparents! Good communication with the owners over a couple of minor issues. The elevation ensured that the afternoon breezes came in and kept us cool. Found the beds uncomfortable but very good in every other way.

Xmas Family Getaway
Steve and Leonie’s place is brilliant. Perfect location, gorgeous surrounds and view. Spacious - wonderful for families! The Kayaks/Canoe were great! Dog friendly. Everything was fabulous. Keep in mind the steep stairs if you’re bringing loads of stuff (we got a workout!), but it’s so worth it. Steve was very communicative and helpful - check in was easy x

A week Adrift
We had a fabulous holiday in Smith's Lake in no small part because of our accommodation. The house was perfect for four adults and four teens. Lots of places to curl up alone with a book or to be together enjoying company. The lake was warm and having access to boats a huge bonus. Heartily recommend.

A Lovely Home in a Wonderful Area
The property is wonderful with a great view of the treetops. The rooms all feel spacious and there is plenty to do both nearby to the house and within the house with the pool table and kayaks providing endless entertainment.
