House Location

Pacific Palms is a small enclave locked in by Myall Lakes National Park, Wallis Lakes, Smiths lake, Booti Booti National Park, and the Pacific Ocean. Together make over 100 kilometres of lakes hugging the coastline with only sand dunes a lot of the time separating the lakes from the ocean.

Smiths lake is located in between Myall Lakes and Wallis Lake and is 20 mins drive south of Forster and 2.5/3 hours drive from Sydney.

The house is perched 20 metres high on the lakes edge overlooking Ski Cove. This is one of the prized positions of Smiths Lake as it is in a secluded quiet spot overlooking and fronting the best part of lake. This part of the lake has lots of calm shallow sandy bottomed water to swim in (Ideal for kids).

The house is also a short stroll to the locals shops: bakery, grocery/news agency, butcher and liquor shop. There is also a hairdresser/beauty salon and the Good Food Store local cafe (great coffee) (what more do you need)!

The Frothy Coffee, open 7 days and situated on the lake at Amaroo alongside the boat ramp. You can enjoy a morning coffee or lunch and then hire watercraft at the sailing club there.

We have a local chemist, doctors, a few specialty shops etc. are a short drive away at Blueys and Boomerang Beach there are also restaurants, cafe's, and clubs for dining out.

The local Bowling Club and Recreation Club provides a good option for families. There are other restaurants at Bluey's and Boomerang along with a village shopping centre with Huey's at Bluey's, a licensed Pizza bar restaurant, Drift Cafe/takeaway at Blueys Beach and Sips at Mobys Boomerang Beach.

The Kembali Café and take away at Blueys is also another great option of local restaurants within the area.

Local Attractions

Just under 3 hours from Sydney between Seal Rocks and Forster

Only a short distance to Elizabeth, Blueys and Boomerang surf beaches. Also worth the trip is the Whoota Whoota Look Out which is well worth a visit you drive through the Booti Booti National Park.

Pacific Palms, Wallis and Smiths Lake surrounded by National Parks and secluded pristine beaches. Smiths Lake is separated from the ocean by a natural sand Bar and great for all water sports and safe swimming for the kids.

There is a beautiful picnic area at the Seal Rocks lighthouse, just south of Smiths Lake, where migrating whales can be spotted travelling north in the winter. There are two nine-hole golf courses in the area, as well as 18-hole courses in Forster and Tuncurry, National Parks, rain forests, boat hire (Smiths Lake and Forster) local markets, bird watching, bush walking and four-wheel drive access to Sandbar Beach. (Permit Required)

The holiday towns of Forster and Tuncurry are only 20 minutes away and have great restaurants, cafes, many sporting facilities (including indoor aquatic centre) shops, movie theatres, ten pin bowling, magical whale and dolphin cruises and fun parks.

Simply superb!
A beautiful home perched high above the lake with a view through the gum trees over the lake. There are lots of birds and it’s very serene. The house is decorated with a beach theme. The kitchen is extremely well equipped and the fabulous games room has plenty of games/puzzles as well as the table tennis table etc. plenty to do on a rainy day. The path down to the lake is steep and if you wish to avoid it, you can do a 5 minute walk down the road to the edge of the lake. We were a family group of 3 generations and we all walked down on the road, and up via the path. The youngest was 5, the oldest 70, so it’s easily doable. We certainly hope to return.

Very peaceful
Beautiful views over the lake, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen (pots pans etc), lovely furnishings and air conditioning in nearly every room this home was a relaxing stay. If you don't want to use the canoe/kayaks provided, spectacular beaches are 10mins drive away. The path from the house to the lake will require agility but is doable and worth it.

Lovely house in beautiful location
The house was exactly as it read on Stayz. We had a group of four couples and the house was perfect. The outlook from the house is beautiful. It is in a very quiet street. The house was very clean and had all the facilities required. The kitchen was very well equiped. The house is not large but is very functional and having the garage as an additional living area was great.

Great location, the house itself is immaculate, shops and park within 2min drive. Just a great stay... will be back!!! Only issue is the access/walk down to the lake is a bit sketchy and a fair effort going back up, in saying that access to water is about 1min drive away...

Romantic tranquil getaway ❤️
So beautiful! Very clean and beautifully decorated to suit the surroundings. Stand out favourites for us for our 3 night stay… The view 😍 We were lucky and got 2 beautiful sunny days and 1 amazing rainy day and the view from the deck down through the trees, looking out over the water is spectacular. The kitchen 😍 It. Has. Everything. You will need to do a shop if you’re cooking, there is just basics like salt and pepper and oil, but apart from that there is everything to need to prepare and cook…omg..the utensils 🥰 They have it all, down to all the food wraps and sandwich bags. The garage/fun room 😍 This room was awesome, on our rainy day we had a great day playing pool and table tennis, everything is in amazing condition. There is a bookcase full of books that I wish we were staying longer to be able to read on the amazing deck! Can’t wait to stay again ❤️

About the host

Hosted by Julie & Philip

Host profile image
We have been together since we were 16 (high school sweet hearts) we are professional people and we have a daughter and a son and daughter in law and 2 dogs Ziggy and Rue border collies. We have been associated with the Smiths Lake for the past 25 years. If we are not out on the lake boating we are sitting on the back deck relaxing watching the sunset or swimming and walking at one of the many local beaches. Its a magical place and once you spend time in the area you won't wish to leave!

Why they chose this property

We were looking for a house that when you open the front door you take in the magnificent view of the Lake. This property is perched high overlooking the blue water of Smiths Lake and the house gives us lots of sun in the morning and then in the afternoon where the sun sets are spectacular. The street is a no through road so it doesn't receive much traffic and the area is peaceful and quiet.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with the view you are never tired of sitting on the back deck and taking in the view watching the world pass you by. You will enjoy all the little extra touches that are provided in the house that many other holiday houses don't provide. Our beds are comfortable and the house is air conditioned so whether summer or winter you are covered. The area is so quiet no traffic noise just the serenity of this magical area.
