Cottage holiday rentals in Smiths Lake

I recently stayed at this beautiful retreat and was thoroughly impressed. The entire property was spotless, with every detail thoughtfully maintained. The horses were gentle and a joy to be around, they even come close to house. was really nice to pet them. The spa and pool area was a true highlight: serene, clean, and incredibly rejuvenating. Whether you’re seeking relaxation or a bit of adventure, this place offers the perfect balance. I left feeling refreshed and already planning my return. Thank you for having us!

Maurie’s place is so beautiful! Had an amazing time and the location/house is perfect! Would highly recommend and will definitely be back!

Had a most lovely time in the cabin. There are a few cabins in the location, all with enough space and spacing to let you feel like you are away from it all. The hot tub was lovely, being able to be accessed directly out the front of the cabin. There was plenty of glassware and other things so that if you wanted to you could use it. We brought our own, but you wouldn't need to. It's a great location, close to the beach and a short 10 to 15 minute drive to other nearby locations with lots of restaurant and food options.

Beautiful place, pool is close by. There were Kangaroos and other animals around us all the time. Hosts prepared sticks against mosquitoes, so sitting on the deck was peaceful and we were not disturbed by insects. There were 2 thunderstorms so we couldn't visit pool every day as planned, so spa was a beautiful alternative. Good phone coverage as well (that surprised all of us). thank you

We had a very lovely time in this beautiful spot, we will certainly be back for another stay hopefully in the same cottage we got this time around, for next time. Absolutely stunning even on a rainy day/evening. Amazing hosts. Super helpful and fast responding. Thank you Ines and Antony.

This is my second time staying at this cottage and it felt like home again. Cecilia is warm and friendly and takes great pride in being a host. Everything is as described and the cottage has what you need for a short or long stay. It’s a great location in Stockton, with all amenities accessible on foot. This is one of the best, if not the best, Airbnb experiences I’ve ever had.

We only had a short overnight stay driving from Gippsland to the Sunshine Coast. It was a great place to relax and get a good nights sleep. Peter was very helpful and friendly and made our dog Poppy feel very welcome. The house was on a busy street but Peter has set up the house and surrounding gardens perfectly to provide a quiet place to relax and stay. Unfortunately we didn't get the opportunity to cook up the bacon and eggs which were provided but it looked delicious.

The house was just as it is advertised on Airbnb. It was quite spacious for 6 adults and the big wide verandahs was great with lots of stormy weather. Access to the pool and tennis court was great to get in a bit of exercise. The pool table and darts also got a workout . A great 3 days for a get together of old friends.

Sally's cottage was the perfect place for my partner and I to stay for the weekend. It had everything we needed and so much more! The space was spotless and had beautiful details throughout the room. It was clear that a lot of heart and care had gone into the space. It had lovely views over their property to wake up to and plenty of spots to enjoy it. On top of that Sally was a wonderful host! She checked in with us the day before with very clear instructions and made sure we had everything we needed. She also baked us some lovely goodies and had stocked us up with fresh eggs and milk. The perfect host and a perfect stay! We highly recommend Mindaribba Cottage and would love to go back if we are back in the area.

Our family had a wonderful stay at Berry House. Glenn was a top host, very friendly and charming. He was on top of all communications and always had the right answer. The house was great. The indoor fire was v enjoyable and everything we needed was there. Generous supply of coffee pods, firewood kept us v comfortable. The sauna was much enjoyed though the pool was too cold.. I’m sure it would be a treat in summer. The dogs, Willow and Esther, were one of the highlights for our two boys. They had a great time. The highlight for the adults was the huge outdoor fire pit. Very special for a pre and post dinner chat.

Our stay at Tallowood cottage was lovely. The cottage was better than pictured. The bed in the main bedroom was probably the best bed we have slept in for an Airbnb. The house was roomy and comfortable. Unfortunately we stayed during an East Coast low and the backyard turned into a swimming pool so it was difficult for our dog to use. We just used the front yard instead. So great to have a dog friendly comfortable property so close to a dog beach. Susan and her team were extremely responsive to our communications and let us extend our stay until the road home had reopened after the floods a bit further south. Would definitely come back and stay again!

Roz was super accommodating with our last minute request to stay. We were so grateful to have a ‘home away from home’, for the duration of a course I was attending nearby and to share the cosy, private and peaceful space with our dogs. The sofa bed I front of the fire was a big novelty for our daughter, and we all stayed very warm thanks to the plentiful firewood provided. Beautiful north western mountain views from the elevated site and wonderful sunsets to wind down with in the evening. Comfy beds, fresh linen and quiet nights left us all refreshed and ready to explore and enjoy the wonders of Biripi and Worimi country. Thanks Roz! I will certainly recommend.

Kerry was such a wonderful host for our stay. The accommodation was absolutely beautiful, very private and close to Old bar. The drive out was nice and scenic and as soon as you arrive it’s like a breath of fresh air. The fireplace was toasty and warm, the bathroom was very spacious and the place also boasts a big open kitchen space with all the condiments you need! We all had a room to ourselves which was a bonus. I will definitely be back for future occasions. Such a perfect spot for a weekend away immersed in nature’s beauty

Fabulous eclectic beach style house. Great size, and easily accommodates number of guests specified. Relaxing, peaceful courtyard area. Exceptionally clean throughout. It’s an easy 20 minute walking distance to Fingal Bay or Shoal Bay beaches either direction, with Box Beach close by too. Nelson Bay is 5 minute drive for Woollies. We really enjoyed our long weekend and had a wonderful relaxing time. Will definitely book again

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Chill-Out cottage. Check-in was super easy. It’s a great property for families with dogs. The dog friendly One Mile beach is just around the corner, our doggies were thrilled. The cottage was very comfortable, spacious, clean and extremely well equipped. There are books, games, puzzles for rainy days and we enjoyed watching Binge and Netflix in the evenings. We will definitely return.

Great house to stay in! Very spacious and close to the beach/shops and a short drive from other surrounding beaches and shops. Amazing price for what you get as well. Lovely back yard and easy to get in to.

Well appointed. So many items supplied in kitchen and bathrooms that I have not seen at any other AIRBNB. Easy access. Very clean and well stocked with cleaning items and supplies incase of an accident or spill so you clean up and continue to enjoy your stay. Location close to cafes and restaurants at Lemon Tree Passage. So many recreational items in shed to help you enjoy the coastal location and water ways. Julie took the time to reach out to us when we did not reply to emails as we were travelling and not opening our laptop and lodging in every day about dietary requirements re type of milk to put in fridge. In conclusion well done Julie you are a credit as a super host.

Such a magical place! The cottage is tucked away in nature, full of flowers, birdlife, and even a herb garden we were welcome to use. Ashleigh and Jarrod were incredible host-very kind and welcoming. We spent a few peaceful nights here and left feeling truly refreshed. Would absolutely stay again!

Our stay at Sarah's was for 3 nights and was exactly what we expected. Very central location to get anywhere in Newy only 10mims to beaches. Several places to eat very close by and lots of recommendations from host. Beds were comfortable and place was very spacious perfect for relaxing after a busy day. Only complaints would be the WiFi which was not great, had to use our phone data instead and couldnt really use streaming on TV. The traffic from the main road was quiet loud throughout the night and early morning so if you're a light sleeper... Still I can highly recommend as the place was decent overall.

We loved staying at the Riverhaus and cannot wait till the next time we return. Sheriden and Tom thank you so much for this airbnb! The layout, presentation, communication could not be faulted. We would highly recommend staying here.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Ken & Cathy’s lake house! The cottage is lovely and cozy, with a charming wood fire that kept us warm during the cold winter nights. The location is perfect, offering stunning sunsets over the lake—a truly magical sight to end each day. Ken & Cathy’s communication was exceptional, providing a detailed app with all the information guests might need. This was incredibly helpful and made our stay seamless and stress-free. Beyond the lake house, we had a fantastic weekend exploring the area and discovering the beautiful beaches nearby. We couldn’t have asked for a better getaway and would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat. Thank you, Ken & Cathy for a fantastic stay!

Loved, loved, loved this place. Easy, comfortable, great beds, on site parking, gift toiletries, bed linen delish. So many great things about the Petit Chalet!! Walking distance to great restaurants, coffee shops, foreshore. Look, I can’t say anything except it was a treat.

Jennifer was an absolute delight as a host. She made us feel very welcome to her gorgeous little cottage. The cottage itself is charming and comfortable. It’s a small space but very well designed and decorated. I stayed with two friends and by utilising the sofa bed we each had our own private, lovely area to sleep. Jennifer was great to communicate with and flexible with arrival time. We had a lovely time and would love to visit again when travelling through the area.

The cottage evokes a sense of nostalgia from the moment you enter the front gate, it has such a warm and inviting sense about it, it would have been nice to stay longer. the visits from the horses, cow and wallabies were an added bonus.
