Beautiful house located one quiet street back from Smiths Lake. The space is stylish, light and airy, with lovely new bathrooms & a large, well-appointed kitchen. Close to exceptional beaches including Cellito & Seal Rocks. The garden is totally secure, even for our small houdini dog. The kayak/dinghy was well used by the whole family, including the dogs. Toby is an incredibly responsive and gracious host.” \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ The Space... There are 2 Pavilions joined by a bridge, the perfect layout for a large group. The main Pavilion is open plan with living/dining/kitchen, plus 2 en-suite bedrooms. The whole Pavilion has giant wooden Bifold doors that completely open onto the north facing veranda with great outdoor seating and the BBQ. The 2nd Pavilion has 2 large bedrooms and a bathroom - each bedroom has its own entrance from the walkway, and the bathroom is shared from an internal corridor to ensure privacy. All 4 super sized bedrooms have comfortable chairs, coffee tables and many books for you to borrow - the house has over 500 books. Feel free to take a paperback home if you don’t have time to finish it. All 6 rooms have ceiling fans and all windows are louvres, so the house is cool as it catches all the breezes off the lake. In winter we have an amazingly efficient double ended combustion stove - the giant living areas are warmed in 20 minutes. There is plenty of firewood for you to use. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 0.5 bathroom - Hair dryer - Outdoor shower - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair - Office - Printer ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas - Note from host: But only outside on the decks or in the garden. ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a village - Near the sea - On a lake ### Things to do - Boat - Kayak - Table tennis - Tennis - Water sports equipment - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Whale watching nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property;
