Location & Local Attractions
Pacific Palms is a small enclave locked in by Myall Lakes National Park, Wallis Lakes, Smiths Lake, Booti Booti National Park, and the Pacific Ocean. Together make over 100 kilometres of lakes hugging the coastline with only sand dunes a lot of the time separating the lakes from the ocean. Smiths lake is located in between Myall Lakes and Wallis Lake and is 20 mins drive south of Forster and 2.5/3.5 hours drive from Sydney.
The house sits elevated high on the ridge overlooking the lake beach and distant islands. The position is second to none in Smiths Lake, enabling you to enjoy the spectacular scenery, the sun and the views! The house is also a short stroll to the local shops: bakery, grocery, butcher, liquor shop, take-away, hairdresser/beautician and is next door to the famous 'Frothy Coffee' Cafe/boatshed (what more do you need)!

Summary: We stayed at the property over a long weekend and had the most incredible time at the house. It was amazingly well stocked with kitchen utensils and fun games and activities. The house was clean and the check in process was very easy. The location to the lake and the local coffee shop was also such a great addition to ease and fun.

Sophie S. Apr 12, 2021 08:42:09 AM

Summary: Lovely place Great to watch the sun sets Close to Smith’s Lake for water sports.

Dane T. Jan 13, 2021 04:32:56 AM

Summary: We had a great stay here! Great access to water and coffee shop. We loved the quirky nature of the art work. The house did have a strong unpleasant smell when we arrived (perhaps the cleaning products?), but was ok when aired out. The kitchen was jammed pack with a lot of things so had everything you needed but not much space left. Loved the view and cosy couch, great bit outdoor space out the back. Great place for kids, peaceful bushy surrounds. We loved it and would definitely go back!

Summary: We were a group of 6 friends spending a relax weekend in this beautiful gem. The house has an amazing view of the lake, it is incredibly decorated and well equipped. The location is 5 min walking to the lake. Karla was the best host. We will definitely come back!

Summary: Just back from an extremely pleasant and relaxing few days with our children, their respective partners, a very young grandchild and our niece. Kestrel provided an ideal venue for this extended family get-together. Once you negotiate the steep drive and then the stairs up past the spacious bedrooms you emerge into the large, open, light-filled upper living and kitchen areas. Warmly and pleasantly decorated, superb views out over the lake, multiple comfortable couches to relax on, a wonderfully equipped kitchen and all surrounded by spacious outside sitting and eating/bbq deck areas. Kestrel has the feel of a lived-in and used family holiday home, thoughtfully and stylishly decorated and furnished. It was an inviting and easy place to spend a fun and relaxed few days. Our only comment is we were surprised at the absence of a few what we think of as basic household items such as soap for the showers, washing powder, limited detergent, alfoil and glad wrap. In an otherwise so well equipped and supplied house we did wonder if maybe the cleaner had failed to let the owner know that supplies of these items had run down/out. Otherwise though, highly recommend if you are planning a group holiday.

DEREK M. Jul 22, 2020 05:48:36 AM

Summary: Great spot with excellent lake views, photo's don't do it justice. Disappointing on check out to be chastised by a cleaner who showed up late.

MARGARET L. Jan 14, 2020 01:42:34 PM

Summary: Most enjoyable
