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

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.

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.

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!
