Shrouded by a lush littoral forest and neatly separated from the sea by Sandbar Beach, this is a family favourite for those eager to enjoy a spot of water-skiing, boating, paddling or windsurfing (the open lake waters making for a windsurfer’s dream!). With an impressive catchment area spanning 32 square kilometres and waterways of 11 square kilometres you can enjoy all the benefits of this unique, tucked-away calm waterway. However, should you feel a pull for the waves, the picturesque Cellito Beach can be accessed via a boardwalk at the northern end of Sandbar Beach. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Food and drink - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - On a lake ### Things to do - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Motor boating nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Outdoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/4000000/3950000/3949600/3949535/18fadadf.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Blueys Retreat Blueys Beach - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washing machine 9.2 Wonderful 118 reviews £248 includes taxes & fees 25 Feb - 26 Feb [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-25&endDate=2026-02-26&selected=3949535&PinnedHotelID=3949535&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/10000000/9630000/9627900/9627843/0842d1ca.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Forster Palms Motel Forster - Pool - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi - Restaurant 8.6 Excellent 407 reviews £71 includes taxes & fees 26 Feb - 27 Feb [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-26&endDate=2026-02-27&selected=9627843&PinnedHotelID=9627843&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Family Villa | Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/95000000/94130000/94124900/94124856/3be62ccb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### NRMA Forster Tuncurry Holiday Park Tuncurry - Pool - Water slide - Parking included - Air-conditioning 9.0 Wonderful 36 reviews £67 includes taxes & fees 26 Feb - 27 Feb [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-26&endDate=2026-02-27&selected=94124856&PinnedHotelID=94124856&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![On the beach, surfing](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/8000000/7260000/7250100/7250099/c5f2f9b9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Reflections Seal Rocks - Holiday Park Seal Rocks - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning - Laundry room - Microwave 9.2 Wonderful 53 reviews £121 includes taxes & fees 19 Feb - 20 Feb [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-19&endDate=2026-02-20&selected=7250099&PinnedHotelID=7250099&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32630000/32627400/32627307/fe8c4cdb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Aqua Vista - Stunning lake and tree top views.
