Jemma's offers you a prime position on Smiths Lake right on the waters edge - with easy access to the waterfront - all in a tranquil setting. The house overlooks the lake. We may not be in the luxury class, however we have all the bells & whistles!

The 2 storey property is 5 bedrooms with 2 bathrooms. Upstairs is open plan living, with fabulous views of the lake and surrounds from most areas. The modern kitchen is well equipped (complete with dishwasher, microwave, coffee/cappuccino maker, large sandwich maker and much more). A solid 8 person wooden dining table allows you to take in the fantastic views.

There are 3 bedrooms upstairs, 2 with Queen sized timber beds and 1 room with 2 single beds. Downstairs there is another queen bedroom with timber bed and a spacious bunk room which comfortably sleeps 6. Quality bedding is provided throughout. The bunk room has a TV monitor and DVD player for the kids. There is a bathroom with separate toilet upstairs and a second bathroom downstairs. Washing machine and dryer are provided.

There is a fireplace for cool winter nights. Portable electric heating is also provided.

A high chair and porta-cot are available upon request.

Downstairs there is a games room with Flatscreen Smart TV , complete with a pool table.

While in the garage there is a table tennis table, this opens to the house. The house is equipped with plenty of games to entertain the adults and kids alike.

Feel free to bring along your own Play Station, Wii, XBox etc to plug into either the games room or bunk room TV.

Stepping out from the games room onto the back lawn you can: ~ walk down to the lake and take a stroll ~ go for a paddle on one of the four kayaks ~ relax on the sun lounge or at the downstairs outdoor setting ~or simply admire the view from the 5/6 person hot spa.

Down by the lake there is also a 3.5m tinnie complete with 5HP motor ready for your enjoyment and for exploring the beautiful lake.

The property is surrounded by rolling lawns. These spacious grounds provide a tremendous area for the kids to roll around and spend their energy. There is an abundance of bird life (including Nesting Hawks, Pelicans and a variety of Parrots and Kookaburras) and beautiful natural surroundings with Smiths Lake lapping at the edges. Great views all year round and breath taking sunsets.

Our aim is to make our place a complete holiday experience and I am sure we will not disappoint.

Local Attractions

Smiths Lake is suitable for all water sports and is just a short 5 minutes away from some of the most spectacular beaches in NSW including Bluey's, Boomerang, and Elizabeth, and for the naturalist amongst us, the very beautiful Shelly's beach. The closest beach, Cellito, can be accessed via a short board walk through coastal rain forest or via Jemma's tinnie, kayaks or canoe.

Location

The immediate area provides local clubs for great meals at affordable prices. Smiths Lake Bowling Club on Macwood Road and Pacific Palms Rec Club on Wallace Lake, well worthy of a visit!

The Charlotte Bay fish shop on the Lakes Way is a must with fresh catches daily. A well known Seafood supplier to upmarket restaurants through out NSW.

The local village shops can cater for most of your needs with a butcher, baker, liquor store and general store. The Lakes cafe (TLC) has the best coffee and is a great spot for lunch and or dinner.

FROTHY COFFEE is on the lake front at Amaroo boasting fantastic views of the Lake and Sandbar. A very popular spot, alongside the boat ramp and BBQ grounds, where a variety of boat hire options are available. Fishing is also abundant at Smiths Lake.

Smiths Lake is located between Myall Lakes and Wallace Lakes and 6 minutes North of Seal Rocks. Only 20 Min's drive south of Forster and 2.5 hours from Sydney.

Perfect holiday spot
A lovely position perfect for all the family to enjoy. Great access to the lake and surrounding beaches. Good secure area for our four legged friend as well. The house has plenty of space for all - the pool table and ping pong table were a hit with the kids. Great summer holiday destination.

Wonderful holiday destination
Jemmas on the lake is a wonderful location for friends and family, especially those with young children. The house is comfortable and within walking distance to the lake. We had a wonderful time using the tinny and kayaks. This is definitely a property we would like to return to.

Very pleasant holiday
We were blessed by perfect winter weather, which allowed us to take full advantage of the various aquatic vehicles that this house offers, including canoeing into the middle of the lake for some magnificent sunsets. The table-tennis table was also well used, and for those who were less inclined to be active the sunbed was a great spot to enjoy the view. The few minor issues we had were dealt with impressively-quickly by Kate. All in all, a lovely relaxing week in a recommended property!
