About this property

Billies @ Smiths Lake

Billies is located on the New South Wales Mid-North Coast in the beautiful village of Smiths Lake just a 3 hour drive north of Sydney, and 20 minutes south of Forster.

On entering the house you will enjoy a relaxed open plan accommodation offering delightful views of the surrounding bush and glimpses of the beautiful Smiths Lake. Google maps indicates that a 1 minute walk will bring you to the lake - this is incorrect as you would need to cross private property.

The property offers 2 queen bedrooms one with en suite and a third bedroom with 2 single beds, all have wardrobe space.

There is a large secure entertaining deck on the rear of the property overlooking a large garden, with both casual seating and dining areas.

Billies has a fully equipped open plan kitchen, with dishwasher, microwave and large fridge freezer with ice making facilities.

This property has a great relaxing feel with just a short drive to the beautiful surrounding beaches, and a short 20 minute stroll to the village shops of Smiths Lake.

Pets allowed by prior arrangement, conditions apply.

Guests will need to supply there own towels.

We look forward to inviting you to Billies.

We loved it....again!

This was our second time staying at Billies. We thoroughly loved it the first time and didn't hesitate to book Billies again. Everything we needed for a relaxing holiday is there. The property is clean and so well appointed, less than 10 minutes to the most beautiful beaches. A convenient location and we honestly can't speak highly enough of Billies. We hope to be back again!

“Exceptional “

Upon walking into the property we were amazed how clean and lovely the property was. Sitting on the back verandah with a book and overlooking the lake was so relaxing. Everything is so close by; the lake, beaches, bowling club and the local group of shops. The main town of Forster is only 20 min away. I would thoroughly recommend this property. You will find everything you need. Thank you again Therese. You have been an exceptional host. I will be sure to book again.

Time slowed right down - it was perfect.

We absolutely loved our stay at Billies. The house felt like home the moment we walked in. The home is extremely well appointed, having everything (and more) we could have possibly needed. Not a detail was overlooked. Us, our kids and our dogs enjoyed our time - it truly felt like time slowed right down - exactly what we needed. We loved too that Billies is so close to all the wonderful things Smiths Lake and the surrounding areas has to offer. Loved, loved, loved Billies. Thank you to our hosts who were very easy to liaise with.

The perfect place for our family to enjoy a lovely long weekend away. We couldn't fault anything about the accommodation. Ideal for our family of 4 and just what we were looking for - being close to the lake and very well appointed.

peaceful location, immaculate on arrival, excellent holiday spot

We were very impressed with Billies, the property is beautifully presented and exceptionally clean and well laid out. We found it to be a very peaceful location, waking up to the birds and then only a short drive to all the action on the lake and beaches. Highly recommended!

Lovely stay at Billie’s Smiths Lakes

A very enjoyable stay at a beautifully presented property. Very Good location for local lakes and beaches. Our hosts provided everything we might have needed for our stay.

Wonderful Summer Getaway

We loved staying at this property with our family of 4. It is so beautifully presented, stocked with everything we needed for our break, including beautiful linen, ample kitchen supplies and even a dog bed and bowls (should you wish to bring your four legged friend)! The Property Manager was fantastic to deal with (in fact one of the best in all my years booking with Homeaway) and answered all my queries promptly. Thank you Teresa! I highly recommend this property.

Perfect place

The house looks better than the pics and is located in a very nice, quiet suburb with easy access to many surrounding beaches and lakes. Some holiday rentals have the basics and that's it; Billies is very well furnished with lots of little extras so it feels like a home away from home. Highly recommended.

Family and pet friendly house in stunning area

Fantastic property very comfortable. Everything was thought of and very high quality. House is a great layout to enjoy each others company. The BBQ on the deck was fantastic and having a bar fridge in the laundry was very convenient. Lots of walks, beautiful area and fantastic lakes and beaches. Lots of birds and dolphins at the beach. Dog Friendly which was appreciated, he had a great time as well. Very safe fenced area.

Beautiful, quiet property

Have never stayed in Smiths Lake when we've been up in the Pacific Palms area, but would definitely come back. This is a beautiful house in a beautiful location. Apart from WiFi, it has absolutely everything you'd need. Squeaky clean, so much so you'd never know it was pet friendly. Highly recommended.
