About this property
Holiday House with real Holiday Charme in Smiths Beach
This property is in one of the best locations at Smiths Beach. It is walking distance to both the general store and Smiths Beach. The beach is both suitable for children or the serious surfer and is patrolled from late December to Easter.
The house has a large balcony which has a nice view including a glimpse of the ocean. The 3 bedroom house (plus a large games rumpus room) sleeps 6-8 people with 2 queen sized beds, two sets of bunks, and 1 foldable couch. Both the living area as well as the rumpus room have a TV and a DVD player.
There is a large, fully equipped modern kitchen, 2 bathrooms, laundry with washing machine, large outdoor deck, BBQ & outdoor setting. Harry's house has a split system cooling/heating unit in the living area. The grounds provide ample room for cars & a boat.
The house at this fantastic location is ideal for a family holiday. Enjoy sitting back from the lounge or on the large deck area, watching the magnificent views, whilst the kids enjoy themselves playing table tennis or table fussball in the rumpus room, basketball on the sheltered court in the front yard, or a game of soccer in the backyard.
Smiths Beach is close to the Grand Prix Circuit (incl. Go-Karts), Penguin Parade, Nobbies, Winery, Golf Club, Cape Woolamai Surf Beach, Wild life parks, Koala park, boat launches & all the other attractions the Island has to offer.
The house is available for weekends or weekly all year round.
Stays from 2 nights onwards can be arranged. In busy holiday periods 3-4 nights will be a minimum.
Prices listed are indicative and do not include costs for linen and towels. Please submit an enquiry for exact pricing. Linen can be provided at small extra costs. Sorry, towels we can’t provide.

About the host
Hosted by Jochen
Originally from Germany, we migrated to Australia in 2003. The plan was to stay for 2-3 years. But... places like Smiths Beach quickly convinced us that there is probably no better place to be than Australia.
Smiths Beach quickly caught our absolute love and attention and when the golden opportunity came about to purchase Harry's House we really couldn't hesitate or resist for too long.
Ever since, the house has not only hosted our family for many holidays and quiet weekends away. It is fair to say that it has made many families happy over the years; with many of them returning year after year.
Why they chose this property
Spending many summer days at Smiths Beach we fell in love with the ideal mix of being a safe beach whilst providing good waves for surfing and boogie boarding. This combined with amazing views, especially at sunset; but not to forget the quiet "Island / Holiday Charme" that Smiths Beach continues to offer.
What makes this property unique
Why does Harry's House stand out from the rest? This is probably an answer to be provided by its many happy tenants over the years.
