Cottage holiday rentals in Smiths Lake

I recently stayed at this beautiful retreat and was thoroughly impressed. The entire property was spotless, with every detail thoughtfully maintained. The horses were gentle and a joy to be around, they even come close to house. was really nice to pet them. The spa and pool area was a true highlight: serene, clean, and incredibly rejuvenating. Whether you’re seeking relaxation or a bit of adventure, this place offers the perfect balance. I left feeling refreshed and already planning my return. Thank you for having us!

Maurie’s place is so beautiful! Had an amazing time and the location/house is perfect! Would highly recommend and will definitely be back!

Beautiful place, pool is close by. There were Kangaroos and other animals around us all the time. Hosts prepared sticks against mosquitoes, so sitting on the deck was peaceful and we were not disturbed by insects. There were 2 thunderstorms so we couldn't visit pool every day as planned, so spa was a beautiful alternative. Good phone coverage as well (that surprised all of us). thank you

We had a very lovely time in this beautiful spot, we will certainly be back for another stay hopefully in the same cottage we got this time around, for next time. Absolutely stunning even on a rainy day/evening. Amazing hosts. Super helpful and fast responding. Thank you Ines and Antony.

This is my second time staying at this cottage and it felt like home again. Cecilia is warm and friendly and takes great pride in being a host. Everything is as described and the cottage has what you need for a short or long stay. It’s a great location in Stockton, with all amenities accessible on foot. This is one of the best, if not the best, Airbnb experiences I’ve ever had.

We only had a short overnight stay driving from Gippsland to the Sunshine Coast. It was a great place to relax and get a good nights sleep. Peter was very helpful and friendly and made our dog Poppy feel very welcome. The house was on a busy street but Peter has set up the house and surrounding gardens perfectly to provide a quiet place to relax and stay. Unfortunately we didn't get the opportunity to cook up the bacon and eggs which were provided but it looked delicious.

My partner and I stayed in Cadair Cottage 1 and we really really enjoyed our short time here. We were only here for a couple of nights but would have loved to extend our trip. There is so much to like about this place. Firstly, the surroundings are just absolutely beautiful - you are in nature and if you’re coming from a city landscape you’ll switch off so quickly. The cottage itself was spotless and had such a homely feel. All of the amenities you’d need with a fireplace, stove top, wifi, tv with foxtel and streaming - beautiful bedrooms and comfortable linen. The hot tub is also so nice to relax in and watch the sun come down. The yard (which is fully fenced) offers an expansive play area for your furry friends and our girl Peppa absolutely loved her time here too. She had so much fun. You are visited by neighbouring sheep and cows and it’s truly magical to watch them graze and trail by. Thank you, Simone - we can’t wait to return to this beautiful property again.

The house was just as it is advertised on Airbnb. It was quite spacious for 6 adults and the big wide verandahs was great with lots of stormy weather. Access to the pool and tennis court was great to get in a bit of exercise. The pool table and darts also got a workout . A great 3 days for a get together of old friends.

Sally's cottage was the perfect place for my partner and I to stay for the weekend. It had everything we needed and so much more! The space was spotless and had beautiful details throughout the room. It was clear that a lot of heart and care had gone into the space. It had lovely views over their property to wake up to and plenty of spots to enjoy it. On top of that Sally was a wonderful host! She checked in with us the day before with very clear instructions and made sure we had everything we needed. She also baked us some lovely goodies and had stocked us up with fresh eggs and milk. The perfect host and a perfect stay! We highly recommend Mindaribba Cottage and would love to go back if we are back in the area.

Our family had a wonderful stay at Berry House. Glenn was a top host, very friendly and charming. He was on top of all communications and always had the right answer. The house was great. The indoor fire was v enjoyable and everything we needed was there. Generous supply of coffee pods, firewood kept us v comfortable. The sauna was much enjoyed though the pool was too cold.. I’m sure it would be a treat in summer. The dogs, Willow and Esther, were one of the highlights for our two boys. They had a great time. The highlight for the adults was the huge outdoor fire pit. Very special for a pre and post dinner chat.

Amazing stay at this beautiful home and the host was super responsive. The cute cows walking around was a bonus. Would love come back here again ❤️

Kerry was such a wonderful host for our stay. The accommodation was absolutely beautiful, very private and close to Old bar. The drive out was nice and scenic and as soon as you arrive it’s like a breath of fresh air. The fireplace was toasty and warm, the bathroom was very spacious and the place also boasts a big open kitchen space with all the condiments you need! We all had a room to ourselves which was a bonus. I will definitely be back for future occasions. Such a perfect spot for a weekend away immersed in nature’s beauty

This was my second stay at Chris’s Airbnb, and this time I brought my two cats along. Just like before, everything was fantastic! The place is spotless, and the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you might need. It’s in a perfect location—only a 5-minute drive to beautiful Birubi Beach and the Sandy Dunes at Anna Bay. Chris is an outstanding host—friendly, responsive, and very accommodating. I highly recommend this Airbnb and will definitely be staying again!

Great house to stay in! Very spacious and close to the beach/shops and a short drive from other surrounding beaches and shops. Amazing price for what you get as well. Lovely back yard and easy to get in to.

Once again we had a fabulous short stay at our favourite Newcastle Airbnb, Salty Dog Cottage, only 4 days this time but wish we had longer. Cute cottage, comfy beds, super clean and close to everything we needed for our stay. Next door to the fabulous Gunyah Hotel where we enjoyed a couple of yummy lunches. Although there was a bit of reveller noise late on the Saturday night, the pub was a definite plus. We will definitely be back. Thank you Joanne and Mike.

Thoroughly enjoyed the stay at sea eagle point. Great location - calm, relaxing and lot of area for boys and girls to run around.

Lorraine and Glenn were very welcoming and responsive hosts. The cottage was relaxing, peaceful and serene. It had an antique vibes, located in to the woods which fit perfectly to our needs. It was spacious, clean and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay.

What an experience! Niel is a truly great host – such a great person and always ready to help. The location is absolutely amazing.......... just WOW! We loved our stay and would definitely love to visit again. Highly recommend

Fabulous eclectic beach style house. Great size, and easily accommodates number of guests specified. Relaxing, peaceful courtyard area. Exceptionally clean throughout. It’s an easy 20 minute walking distance to Fingal Bay or Shoal Bay beaches either direction, with Box Beach close by too. Nelson Bay is 5 minute drive for Woollies. We really enjoyed our long weekend and had a wonderful relaxing time. Will definitely book again

We loved staying at the Riverhaus and cannot wait till the next time we return. Sheriden and Tom thank you so much for this airbnb! The layout, presentation, communication could not be faulted. We would highly recommend staying here.

Lovely little cottage. Very cosy and with a beautiful outlook exactly as shown in photos.

What a gem! Our stay at this stunning cottage was faultless. Elizabeth was a fantastic host, great communication, very accommodating, and gave us excellent local tips (Toronto Hotel for dinner and Mizumi for takeaway were both great). We were spoilt with a welcome gift of wine and chocolate Easter bunnies and eggs, such a lovely touch. The cottage was spotless, beds were super comfy with beautiful linen, and the big fluffy towels, bathroom amenities made it feel like a luxury hotel. All the extras were thought of, oils and seasonings for cooking, even washing capsules and stain remover, a lifesaver when traveling with kids! We fished off the jetty daily (caught a Bream, Flathead, Octopus, Crab, Whiting), used the kayaks, and relaxed in the cosy TV room. We enjoyed the fire pit one night too, with wood provided. The cottage is even better than the photos. 100% recommend and hope to return soon!

The cottage evokes a sense of nostalgia from the moment you enter the front gate, it has such a warm and inviting sense about it, it would have been nice to stay longer. the visits from the horses, cow and wallabies were an added bonus.

I cannot fault anything about this property, or Tracy as a host. Tracy's communication was exceptional, she also offered a 10am check in. When we did check in we were greeted with fresh pastry and cookies. We stayed at Tracy's place following our wedding, the location was superb, my wife and I literally walked to the accomodation from our ceremony. The location was great, we were able to walk to get coffee the next morning. Unfortunately I live really close to this accomodation, and we stayed here because we wanted somewhere nice for our wedding night, if I didn't live 10 minutes away, I would have zero hesitation with re-booking and enjoying Tracy's wonderful place again. Thanks so much Tracy for adding something so great to our wedding day.
