Akama @ Smiths Lake with Pool
Nestled in the trees, Akama has filtered views of Celito Beach. This architecturally inspired home boasts open plan living, timber flooring throughout, cross ventilation and ceiling fans. Enjoy a solar heated saltwater pool to cool off with the family and friends on those hot summer days. In Winter, the real flame gas fireplace becomes the heart of the house.

Smiths Lake : For those wanting to enjoy still waters instead of the open ocean, Smiths Lake is the number one choice in the Pacific Palms area. Shrouded by a lush littoral forest and neatly separated from the sea by Sandbar Beach, this is a family favourite for those eager to enjoy a spot of water-skiing, boating, paddling or windsurfing (the open lake waters making for a windsurfers dream). With an impressive catchment area spanning 32 square kilometres and waterways of 11 square kilometres you can enjoy all the benefits of this unique, tucked-away calm waterway. However, should you feel a pull for the waves, the picturesque Cellito Beach can be accessed via a boardwalk at the northern end of Sandbar Beach.

Peaceful getaway
Lovely house, could do with more maintaining, the deck was rotten (my husband’s foot went through the deck twice!) The kitchen lacked basic equipment eg. the oven switch was broken and the bread board was in two pieces. Much of the equipment in poor condition.

Great Stay!
A really good experience the house is spacious and clean. We were disappointed with the state of the bbq which did not work so we had to go out and buy our own and a pool cleaner would have been nice! Overall we had a great time staying here this property is pretty for large families I encourage anyone who is thinking of booking this property to book now you’ll love it !

Lovely home, great for large family
Great location, quiet and comfortable. Bird life everywhere. Great living areas for large family. Beautiful back deck with views to the water. Fantastic pool that is out of the wind and central to the living areas.

A beautiful spot in Smiths Lake
The house was spacious and well equipped with beautiful views. The check in and out process would have been easier with a lock box. A basic folder with things to do in the area and how things worked in the house would also have been helpful. Not having mobile reception or wi fi was a little challenging.
