Our guest reviews are most believable & say it best... “This is a magical spot! Beautiful house located 1 quiet street back from Smiths Lake and well hidden behind shrubs and trees. The space is stylish, light and airy, with lovely new bathrooms & a large, well-equipped kitchen. Close to exceptional beaches including Cellito, Blueys & Seal Rocks. The garden is totally secure, even for our Houdini dog. The kayaks and dinghy were well-used by the whole family and the dogs. Toby is an excellent host.” Love our new wood fired pizza oven next to our giant entertaining deck - we have a couple of foodies in our family who love to use it and invite guests over to share the fun. Couple of great restaurants in nearby Blueys now, plus 2 Clubs providing great 'RSL style' food. Plus Forster is now a booming restaurant scene with many choices and is just 30 minutes drive away. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Electric car charging station on site - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3.5 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Computer monitor - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - 2 pets total (up to 55 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 6 steps to reach entrance - Well-lit path to entrance - Designated smoking areas - Note from host: Please don't toss the butts into the garden ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Boat - Kayak - Table tennis ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property;
