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 kilometers 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 - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Hob - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Towels provided ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near the sea - On a lake ### Things to do - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Motor boating nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming 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) ## Similar properties ![Children’s area](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/38000000/37700000/37697300/37697244/62d67d8c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Fyshwicks Cottage - Pacific Palms Holidays Smiths Lake - Washer - Air conditioning - Parking available - Lake view 9.0 Wonderful 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-26&endDate=2025-10-27&selected=37697244&PinnedHotelID=37697244&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111520000/111515000/111514920/f5354806.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Gecko Hideaway - unique glamping style holiday home Smiths Lake - Parking available - Laundry - Microwave [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-26&endDate=2025-10-27&selected=111514920&PinnedHotelID=111514920&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![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 - Washer 9.2 Wonderful 115 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-26&endDate=2025-10-27&selected=3949535&PinnedHotelID=3949535&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/38000000/37700000/37695500/37695435/63b66e40.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Twin Peaks 2 at Boomerang Beach Boomerang Beach - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Barbecue grill 10 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-26&endDate=2025-10-27&selected=37695435&PinnedHotelID=37695435&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/76000000/75850000/75844700/75844647/6d54ac15.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### BESPOKE VILLA WITH A DOPE BEACH VIBE boomerang beach - Sea view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.8 Exceptional 44 reviews £196 includes taxes & fees 13 Oct - 14 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-13&endDate=2025-10-14&selected=75844647&PinnedHotelID=75844647&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/104000000/103560000/103550900/103550851/6c305620.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Crown Cottage - close to Seal Rocks Tarbuck Bay - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Outdoor space [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-26&endDate=2025-10-27&selected=103550851&PinnedHotelID=103550851&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/38000000/37700000/37695700/37695691/548779a3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Oceanside 18 - Pacific Palms Holidays Boomerang Beach - Washer - Dryer - Parking available - Barbecue grill 7.6 Good 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-26&endDate=2025-10-27&selected=37695691&PinnedHotelID=37695691&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/90000000/89190000/89188600/89188597/55fc2ddf.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Blueys @ Blueys unwind and relax in this Balinese style gem Blueys Beach - Washer - Dryer - Outdoor space - Parking available [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-26&endDate=2025-10-27&selected=89188597&PinnedHotelID=89188597&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/93000000/92610000/92600900/92600851/c251e9d1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### @ Blueys - great for couples!
