Smiths Lake - For those wanting to enjoy still waters instead of the open ocean, Smiths Lake is the number one choice in the Pacific Palms area. 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.

Family get together
Overall we enjoyed our time there but it was disappointing that the plunge pool advertised was only a spa that was not functioning. Considering we had children with us a pool would have been a big bonus. Also as we cooked all our meals the stove/oven could have been in better working order and baking dishes for a roast. No toilet paper was another inconvenience considering the price we paid. Coffee maker advertised was a single person coffee plunger which didn’t cater for the 6 adults that were there.

Great house but unfortunately the pool wasn’t functional and the owners refused to agree to a refund
The swimming pool is a big part of why we chose this property. It couldn’t be used and the owners refused to offer any token refund or apology which would helped us feel less ripped off. My daughter also got bedbugs. I wouldn’t recommend staying here because if something needs addressing the owners don’t seem to care. The house it self is very comfortable and the view delightful, but advertising a luxury house with a pool that you pay top dollar for only to be rudely refused recompense has left a bad feeling. There are lots of great houses in the area, I recommend looking elsewhere.

Lovely spacious home with views
We enjoyed our stay at the Dux Nuts. It was a well equiped home with lovely views. Unfortunately the wether didn’t cooperate but the house had a great TV, internet and games for us to enjoy. Would have been great if the spa had been heated. Overall, it was a lovely home amongst the trees with a lovely view
