Cottage vacation rentals in Smiths Lake

Such a beautiful property with a recent glow-up. You will want to spend all your time outside and with the pool, hot tub and fire pit area - you can! Having lunch at Farmers Wife is also a great way to break up your stay.

Fantastic eco-resort (retreat amidst subtropical forest) very close to the amazing sand dunes of Anna Bay. The pool was luckily located right in front of our cottage. And the hot-tub (at every cottage) around the front deck was a great addition to the overall experience. Brief interactions with Antony (owner) were as great as his vigilance to manage this excellent property. Koalas are often spotted within the property but we were unlucky in that. Overall great experience and highly recommend as a place to stay if you are visiting Port Stephens.

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

Had an amazing and restful time. The price was amazing for the accomodations and the location is so beautiful. Loved having our own hot tub!

We had a fantastic stay at this lovely cottage with our family of five. The home was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The backyard was a highlight for the kids, with plenty of space to play and a great BBQ and outdoor dining area for us to relax. It was just a short walk to a fantastic family-friendly park, local pubs, and shops. Communication with the host was friendly and prompt, and she gave us some great local recommendations. Highly recommend for families looking for a well-equipped, welcoming place to stay!

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.

My short stay at Mike and Christine’s Firefly Cottage was great! Mike was very easy to communicate with and friendly. We loved the pool table and darts within the cottage and access to the pool and tennis court was a nice inclusion. Note: Wi-Fi and mobile data coverage was not the best during our stay, but this may have been to recent poor weather and other factors. Mike did try to help out where he could. We unfortunately could not get the Apple TV to work. We loved the area and how relaxing it was, with some minor road noise from cars passing along the road (infrequent). The inclusion of a bottle of wine and food staples were appreciated. The new indoor wood heater and outdoor Chiminea worked great and kept us warm! A short 15 minute drive to Nabiac was convenient for food shopping etc. Thanks Mike!

The place was so beautiful and great place to relax. Anthony is so gentle and friendly This was a wonderful experience Many thanks Anthony

Perfect place for an escape! Glenn’s space was a great retreat from city life. Although weather stopped us using the pool, it was the perfect excuse to stay indoors, light the log fire and enjoy a bottle of wine from nearby wineries. The accommodation was comfortable, on beautiful grounds. Glenn was helpful and responsive and the added touches of fresh eggs in the morning and introductions to the cute dogs was welcomed!

Suzie's place was absolutely divine. peaceful serenity, even with the downpours of rain. The welcome basket was a lovely little treat as well! Greatly appreciated after a day of travel. Would highly recommend a stay!

Had a lovely stay at the Cottage. Comfy bed in well appointed and spacious surrounds and truly welcoming for our fur baby.

The place is very nice and the area is quiet. The beach is close and there are a few cafes around.

This was the first time we have stayed here it was a wonderfull place to stay very clean and everything you would need.Thank you also for allowing us to have our little fur baby.Would highly recommend this place

A lovely getaway from the big city. You’re surrounded by beautiful valleys. Paul’s place was everything we expected. Our dog also loved it. The place is modern with plenty of natural light that makes it feel very spacious. Instructions and comms was also on point. Definitely recommend this place those seeking some peacefulness and quiet time.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this Airbnb! From the moment I arrived, the host was incredibly welcoming and made sure I had everything I needed. They went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable, offering great recommendations for local spots and checking in to make sure all was well. The property itself was stunning! It was beautifully decorated, clean, and had all the amenities I could have asked for. The space was both cosy and stylish, with plenty of room to relax and unwind. It truly felt like a home away from home. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with a fantastic host and a lovely property. Will definitely return!

It was a great stay at Driftwood Cottage. Beautiful surroundings, and everything we needed was there. The place was clean, cozy, and felt like a home away from home. We especially loved the peaceful vibe and how close it was to nature. Would definitely recommend and love to come back!

A truly wonderful weekend away. Such a warm welcoming feeling, the property and cottage is beautiful and instantly relaxing. The gardens create such a sense of tranquility and the house is full of relaxing corners to calm and entertain any guest. From books, to movies, games to cooking, you don’t even need to leave the house. The kitchen is so well equipped and the be beds were really comfortable. Every little detail, and more, has been thought of. The property is immaculately clean and full of beautiful art and decor. My kids (8 and 6) loved it too. Plenty to keep them entertained while my mum and I relaxed. The location is great too. Easy walk to the beach and loads of other activities nearby. Couldn’t speak highly enough of this stay. Thanks for a magical weekend away.

Beautifully kept property and amenities, and such a great place tounwind and relax. Alecia & Lloyd are wonderful hosts and they were proactive throughout the whole duration of our stay to make sure that our stay was relaxing & that all our needs were met. Was an awesome experience getting to meet their horses & feeding them.

Great accommodation and nice host. We reccommend 100%. Cheers, Viv

A beautiful, eco friendly cottage at Ashleigh & Jarrods sustainable property just outside Wingham. The cottage has a beautiful outlook and surrounding garden, and has everything you need for a short term getaway. Getting to the cottage and self check-in was easy and clearly instructed. Ashleigh and Jarrod are very responsive and great hosts (they even left some farm fresh eggs for us on arrival), they are close by and there if you need them, but the cottage is still very private. A welcome bonus was a visit from their dog Pudding, who was the most beautiful and well behaved dog. It was great to experience a sustainably constructed home, and it was a wonderful, comfortable and cozy place to stay after a long weekend of camping at a nearby national park.

Wow what a get away with the family. As soon as we walked in to river Haus it was a breath of fresh air. It was beautiful, quiet and free of clutter and mess. With its inviting nature, the property performed outstandingly well for our two kiddos who could run around the house and venture outside with all gates closed. The swing out front, toys inside, comfortable beds and beautiful bath and shower were fantastic. Also wonderful to have washer dryer available even for the weekend. Sheridan and her husband were lovely to deal with upon arrival. Sheridan provided further recommendations and we went to all of the cafes, deli’s and shops available in town and surrounding area. Couldn’t recommend this stay enough. Definitely the best Airbnb we have been too, by far!!

Beautiful cottage with a great view, very relaxing

Went away for a few nights with some friends and the accommodation was absolutely beautiful, clean and well furnished! There were plenty of books, games, outdoor furniture, BBQ, and kitchen amenities which made the trip very easy and fun. The location was so peaceful and quiet and the drives to the beaches were really pretty views of the lake passing lots of beautiful farmland. Luisa was an amazing host giving lots of local recommendations and giving very easy instructions for check in and check out. Would definitely recommend and will be 100% going back!

Love this place! A really relaxing weekend for two couples. Loved the bush surroundings. Not too far from coffee shops, a pub, and several incredible beaches.
