Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in Smiths Lake

Fabulous space for a weekend getaway! We stayed as a group of 14 adults and 1 child and had plenty of space, which is rare to find at such an affordable price. The home was beautifully kept and the pool was a real treat on the hot days!

Perfect spot for a weekend away with friends. Fantastic location and super flexible with checking in and out. Would recommend

Booked as accommodation for a friends wedding at Stanley Park. Was a great for a few couples, had a very comfortable, family holiday house feel. Well stocked kitchen and BBQ. A great stay!

We love this place, peaceful little town, very easy to check in, garage is actually can be used, 2bedroom downstairs and 1 master bedroom upstairs. dishwasher and stoves are really good just feel like home, comfit loulounge. Backyard to beach has a small trail but has lots of vegetation, the backyard shower is plus, we can wash off the sand before we get into the house. walking distance to the local fish and chips shop, try the batter cod and lemongrass calamari, we ordered 2days for lunch, bottle shop next to it. It could be better if the lighting is brighter, couple of the light bulbs have gone out, we had a great weekend here, very relaxing, so close to beach, we will definitely come back and recommend.

Highest recommendation possible for Armando & his gorgeous home. We had issues with another airbnb & Armando was very understanding & accommodating last minute. Our teens were surprised & delighted to find A had left some chocolate bars for our arrival, a thoughtful treat after our holiday disruption. The peaceful and well thought out gardens, complete with water feature & large goldfish really are amazing. The home & beds are very comfortable, tastefully decorated. The ducted air conditioning made the difference in the heat, with sleeping and during the day when we were resting after being out at the beaches, shopping 5 mins up the road at Westfield Kotara, op shopping at various vintage 2nd hand stores, finding bubble tea or visiting Taronga Zoo in Sydney. There's so much to do and we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Having 2 showers with toilets & a bath is always helpful. This home truly is amazing, as is Armando. Grab some cooking oil, your food & luggage & enjoy this home!

Lovely place just off the highway, was great for our little family and two dogs! Hosts were friendly but private. House was clean and provided everything we need, great little backyard for the dogs. Shops were just walking distance - good location!

Claudia's place was absolutely perfect for our one-night stay! Wish we could have stayed longer. It was exactly what we needed - a quiet, comfortable, and relaxing haven. The space was spacious and spotlessly clean, and we loved the thoughtful and stylish decor. It truly felt like a home away from home. We would definitely recommend Claudia's place to anyone looking for a peaceful and enjoyable stay.

Lovely place, great location and very homely. Would not stay anywhere else in Newcastle when back!

Perfect spot so close to the beach, cafes and busy Darby street without being noisy. Apartment was very clean and comfy. Much more spacious than the place seems in the photos but still had a homely feel. We were very happy here and would stay again!

Great location and easy process. Would recommend.

Great place, the apartment was cosy and clean and had everything you need, including iron and hair dryer. Peter is quick to reply and easy to deal with. For those who are getting here on foot, please keep in mind it is the Hill, so a steep walk and can be a bit hard when you are loaded with backpacks and bags. Other than that, cannot fault the place. Would recommend.

Such an amazing stay for our young family. The location is incredible, that view makes you want to stay home and take it in all day. The apartment had so many things that made it feel like a home, the kitchen was stocked with all the extras. Beds were so comfortable. We will definitely return :)

Had a great stay! The location was excellent, with stunning ocean views and easy access to restaurants and amenities. The host provided clear and precise instructions and was very responsive throughout our stay. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing stay at Steve's place! The apartment was clean, cozy, and exactly as described in the listing. The location was perfect—quiet, yet close to all the local attractions. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touches, like the welcome chocolate and local recommendations. The communication with Steve was excellent from start to finish. He was responsive and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway, and we would love to stay here again!

The apartment as in a great location, close to lots of restaurants and cafes and the local esplanade. It was really well appointed and super cozy. For a one bedroom apartment it didn’t feel cramped at all.

This was a very quiet and relaxing few days. Lorraine's apartment is spacious, well-appointed and spotlessly clean. We enjoyed the country outlook from the verandah each evening sipping a wine at sunset. The bed is very comfortable and the cooking equipment was all that we needed. It was warm during our stay and there was no air-conditioning in the bedroom, however, the ceiling fans in both rooms helped as did the evening breeze. Had it been in the winter months we would have been delighted to use the cozy wood fire. Next time maybe! We highly recommend this listing to others looking for a quiet and comfortable break.

This place was incredible! This holiday unit was beautiful, clean, ocean view, spacious and with all the amenities available including the pool and gym- I could not recommend this place enough. Lorraine was nice and really easy to communicate with, Thankyou for letting us stay at your place 😊

Bruno's place is right next to the famous One Mile beach, which is super convenient. The kids had great time there. We booked both apartments A and B for two families. One of them has a dishwasher with a bigger kitchen, so we spent most of the group time over there in apartment A. I would recommend this place and will come back with friends.

Perfect little place for a quick getaway for 2! The accom was beautiful and super clean and the beach entry was just at the end of the road. Great location and very convenient! Hope to come back and stay again ☺️

The apartment and the amenities are outstanding. We returned here because we had to extend staying away from our house because of renovations. This was our first choice and u cannot recommend it enough. What really does need highlighted is how much of an outstanding history Connie is. She was so understanding, compassionate, super friendly and flexible. She deserves 10 stars.

Bill’s house was absolutely amazing. The views were just breathtaking and the house itself was very cozy and delightful for cooking and sharing meals. Bill was also an amazing host and made us feel at home. Highly highly recommend.

Leah and Mark’s apartment is perfectly located in the heart of Shoal Bay, with everything you need just steps away—restaurants, cafés (ideal for your morning coffee and cake), IGA supermarket, newsagent, chemist, ice cream shop and Aussie Bob’s Fish and Chips just around the corner. One of the highlights is the private balcony with stunning views over the bay—a perfect spot to sit back, relax and soak it all in. Mark was polite, responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Check-in was smooth and easy, thanks to the clear instructions provided. The apartment itself was spotless upon arrival, featuring a well-equipped kitchen, a spacious bathroom with a spa and a super comfortable king-size bed. Our stay at “The View” was truly enjoyable and memorable. We wouldn’t hesitate to return, and we highly recommend both the apartment and the wonderful hosts, Leah and Mark.

Absolutely incredible views! I’ve recommend this place to friends and family, very clean and can not fault it at all. Grant was a pleasure to deal with! definitely would book again 🙂

Wow, this garden apartment is fabulous. Arrival was easy & straight forward. On entering, I was pleasantly surprised. The apartment is so spacious, bright & airy and the proportions are very generous. A rare find indeed. The kitchen is lovely with everything you could possibly need. The bedroom is roomy and the bed devine, so comfortable. The bathroom is large & bright with a spacious shower & a separate bath.. There is a well equipped gym and a lovely swimming pool, all on the same level as the apartment.. both well used by us.. We loved it so much that we will make a night stop, room only, on our return.
