About this property

Ohana - located at Smiths Lake

Ohana means family and this is a perfect place for family and friends to take time out from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Located in Smiths Lake in the Pacific Palms area, 21/2 hours north from the start of the F3 and 20mins south of Forster, Ohana is perfectly positioned for a short or long escape from the city.

A few minutes walk from Smiths Lake, 1.3km from the Frothy Coffee boat shed and short drive to Wallis and Myall Lakes, and one of the most beautiful beaches on the NSW Coast -Celito Beach. Blueys, Boomerang, Shelly and the family friendly patrolled Elizabeth beaches are a 10 minute drive. Seal Rocks is a comfortable 20km drive away. This is a great base for exploring the area and for fishing, boating, kyaking, surfing, bushwalking, beach walking and 4wheel drive enthusiasts. There is a multitude of picturesque spots for picnics or quiet time with a good book. At the end of the day relax on the deck and enjoy the sunset filtering through the trees.

The house is also very well equipped for those days when you don't feel like moving. Curl up on the lounge and read or watch a movie. Play play station, cards or board games. And when the weather is cold put on the gas wood fire and simply cosy up with family or friends.

There are also plenty of places nearby to grab a coffee, break fast , lunch or dinner.

Highly recommended.
We had a lovely stay at this beautiful home in Smiths Lake. It was very comfortable, well-equipped, and thoughtfully designed. The couches were especially comfy, and the quality oven made cooking easy. The location was perfect—an easy walk to the lake and just a short drive to stunning beaches. We’d love to stay here again. Highly recommended.

This was a very clean, modern house in a quiet street, walking distance to the shops and not much further to the Frothy Coffee cafe on the lakeside. 2 car off street parking, 3 loos, super comfortable beds and furniture - ideal for our stay.
