January 2024Loved our stay at Smiths Lake and Alex's house. It was spacious, well equipped and incredibly clean. It was perfectly located, quiet but accessible to lots of things within Smiths Lake. We would note that if it's a hot week, you may be quite warm in the bottom bedrooms and upstairs lounge area as there are only fans, however, there is a air/con unit in the upstairs bedroom for sleeping if you require A/C. Overall, we'll be back! Had a great stay and loved the stay - Alex's communication was fabulous and she was incredibly helpful.

December 2023We had a wonderful stay at Alex’s place. It is a short walking distance to food supplies and not too far to drive to beautiful beaches. The house is flawless. Just like the photos. We loved the two large living areas and top deck with a view to the lake. Beds were super comfortable and bathrooms were spotless. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

October 2023We absolutely loved this house from the second we stepped inside. It looks exactly like the photos, maybe even better! In fact the view from the upper balcony was completely unexpected, it was lovely to look through the trees at the lake. The kitchen is very nice with a large island bench. It is very well equipped with quality appliances. The laundry has a front loader washing machine and a big sink. There is no dryer but there is a clothes line and airer. The backyard was perfect for our dog to sniff about in while we cooked a BBQ and enjoyed eating outdoors. All the beds were super comfy, the main was extra luxurious as the bedroom is massive. Both bathrooms are modern, the upstairs one has a fabulous bath which we enjoyed a soak in. I don’t usually notice floors but the floorboards in this house are absolutely gorgeous and the carpet is also really nice! The home was very very clean and a joy to stay in. We would stay again, I’m sure we will be back!

October 2023The home was beautifully styled and well-equipped, the location was peaceful and Alex was extremely approachable and went over and above to ensure we enjoyed our stay. 11/10. We would definitely stay here again.

August 2023First time in Smith’s Lake as we usually go to Boomerang but it certainly didn’t disappoint. Alex is an amazing host and the house and garden are really nice. We stayed here in winter with our two kids and 4 month old puppy, and it was super cosy, well-heated and has everything you’ll need. We watched the women’s World Cup on the massive TV upstairs, hung out in the backyard a lot as it catches all the winter sun, walked to grab coffee from two the local options and had a good squiz around other local spots. The view across the lake to Celito and Sandbar is epic. An amazing house to match the location
Katie
July 2023Stunning and soothing home to escape Syd and enjoy some quality family time. Beautiful and well equip kitchen, comfortable entertaining areas and bedrooms, the perfect home away from home!

Alana
May 2023The house was spacious and beautifully decorated, located on a peaceful street. Well stocked with ammenities incl. milk, condiments and Alex even left a cheese board to welcome us on arrival which was a lovely treat! Alex was a great host who was extremely responsive and provided a very comprehensive guide to the surrounding area as well as options to arrange luxury in-house services. We enjoyed hikes in the nearby national parks, beach swims and sunsets by the lake. The desk area upstairs was perfect for working remotely. Will happily stay again, thank you Alex!

Gavin
April 2023Beautifully appointed and maintained property. All the finishing touches have been applied. Plenty of kitchen and bathroom accessories and consumables. Host was proactive and clearly takes great care of the property and guests. Spotlessly clean and tidy. Upstairs media room had a large smart tv and was a great hang out spot. Easy walk to local shops and down to the lake. Many beaches a short drive away. We brought out dog which was also well catered for and made to feel at home. Great spot for a few quiet days away.

Rebbecca
February 2023What can I say, absolutely amazing. The home was a beautifully styled Hamptons house. As soon as you walk it felt like home. So much attention to detail, and so many little things that Alex did, that make you smile and go wow. Ie: fresh milk, cheese, crackers, tomatoes and frnagipani flowers. Lovely candle and bath salts, just to name a few. Without question I would highly recommend this property. The views of the lake were surreal. A perfect home for a home away from home.
Georgia
March 2023We had the most lovely weekend at Alexandra’s beautiful home for my partners birthday. Alex also went above and beyond with leaving a birthday pack for him to enjoy. The house is immaculate, styled beautifully and incredibly comfortable. Would highly recommend!
Robert
March 2023We were so fortunate to find Alexandra’s place last minute. This ended up being our favourite Airbnb on our entire NSW roadtrip! Alex was super friendly, responsive and clearly knows the true meaning of hospitality! The home was beautifully presented and well- equipped, everything was spotlessly clean (especially bathrooms), we were instantly relaxed. Everything was absolutely perfect - it is clear how much care and attention to detail goes into presenting this home for guests. We will be back for a longer stay, so much to do in the area but also the perfect home to relax and do nothing - lots of room for a family! Best breakfast was at the good food store - bacon and egg damper roll, simple and delicious! Thank you Alex, you really did provide an outstanding experience and we’re so thankful we found your home!
