A Design Story Like No Other
Our space showcases a unique character, described by guests as "eclectic," "quirky," "rustic, vintage, and something out of a movie set."

The interiors are beautifully styled, creating an ambiance that feels both luxurious and incredibly homely, where "the owners have truly poured their hearts and souls into the property."

Despite being under the same roofline as the owners, guests consistently marvel at the "total privacy" and sense of seclusion they experience. Separated by several unused rooms, you'll feel completely undisturbed, as if you "had the whole place to ourselves." This makes Pueblo at Indigal a perfect haven for those seeking a quiet escape, a romantic getaway, or a restorative break.

Embrace the Setting
Prepare to be captivated by the stunning surroundings. From the moment you arrive, you'll be welcomed by fresh air, soothing sounds, and breathtaking views. Step out onto your private balcony, particularly from the bedroom, and be mesmerized by the "amazing views overlooking rainforest and gardens," with the lake visible in the distance. Guests love watching the diverse birdlife, enjoying a cuppa on the verandah, and simply soaking in the peaceful vista. The property boasts extensive, beautifully maintained tropical gardens and an open area where you can truly "take in the surrounds" and enjoy starry nights.

Unrivalled Comfort and Amenities
We pride ourselves on providing "every comfort" and ensuring "everything you could want and more" is at your fingertips.

Find your own quiet nook to read a book and let the tranquility wash over you.

Perfectly Positioned for Exploration or Outdoor Thrills
While many guests confess they "didn't want to leave the property," Pueblo's location truly offers the best of both worlds. From the moment you arrive, the property itself is a thriving haven for diverse birdlife, providing fascinating viewing right from your doorstep.
When you're ready to venture out, you're ideally situated "off the main drags" yet only a short drive to pristine beaches, cafes serving up deliciousness, and the township of Forster, uniquely nestled between the sparkling ocean and tranquil Wallis Lake.

For those seeking an invigorating adventure, embark on the renowned Booti Booti walking trail – an epic hike that extends from Elizabeth Beach to Seven Mile Beach, winding along a forested headland with spectacular ocean views before returning along the tranquil shores of Wallis Lake. Take a halfway break at Tiona’s delightful Beach House Cafe! For a shorter, less strenuous option, enjoy a pleasant hike along the shores of Smiths Lake. You can start at the Smiths Lake boat ramp and head in either direction, following the shore edge through bushland as well as along beautiful stretches of white sand beaches.

The area boasts some of the best beaches in the world, with iconic locations like Seal Rocks, Blueys, Boomerang, and Cellito's (renowned for surfing) all within a short 5 to 15-minute drive. These stunning shores offer endless opportunities for surfing, snorkelling, beach walking, and simply soaking up the sun.
For water enthusiasts, the options are abundant: head into Forster to hire SUP boards and paddle around the picturesque islands of Wallis Lake. Or, for a truly exhilarating experience, discover the thrill of e-foiling on Smiths Lake, effortlessly gliding across the water (coaching available for beginners!).

A Culinary Journey for Foodies
You'll discover a delightful array of dining options within a short drive. While a few charming local cafes and restaurants are nearby for your convenience, the township of Forster truly expands your culinary horizons. Here, you'll find an abundance of eateries offering diverse cuisines and innovative dining experiences. From fresh local seafood (especially the world-renowned oysters from Wallis Lake), to Italian, Asian, and Mexican fusion, to fish and chips and burgers, there’s something to satisfy every palate. Many establishments boast stunning ocean or serene lake views to enhance your dining experience.

For a taste of local flavour and unique finds, be sure to explore the weekend markets. These bustling gatherings offer a vibrant atmosphere and a tempting selection of artisanal food creations, alongside fresh produce and local crafts. For any last-minute needs or essentials, a local convenience store is also close by.

This unforgettable sanctuary truly provides a "break from city life" and promises "absolute relaxation." We can't wait for you to experience the peace and beauty of Pueblo at Indigal.

Guest Access
Guests enjoy their own private entrance and secluded space. Indigal accommodates only one guest group at a time, ensuring your privacy is highly respected throughout your stay.
Access to the property is via an 800-meter long, well-maintained dirt road from the main local road. This road services just two properties, with the first property located near the entrance. The latter half of the driveway gently winds its way upwards through sun-filtered forest, eventually opening into a beautiful property that is Pueblo at Indigal.
For your convenience, Liz will personally meet you upon arrival to provide a quick rundown on some of the amenities, making it easier for you to settle in and start enjoying your stay immediately.

Other Things to Note
Our Friendly Resident Dogs:
Get ready to meet the "stars of the show" – our two extremely well-trained resident dogs, Mindy and Cheka! Guests rave about them, describing them as the "happiest and most well-behaved dogs" and even calling them “The highlight of our trip!” These delightful pups often become a cherished part of the experience for dog lovers, frequently popping in for a friendly visit. If you prefer your space, they are quick to understand and will respect your preference for solitude. For your convenience, clear instructions on how to interact with Mindy and Cheka are provided upon arrival, allowing you to choose whether to invite their company or not.

Late Check-outs & Early Check-ins:
