This home, designed for those who are looking to unwind, can accommodate up to six guests with ease.
Every aspect of Araluen focuses on comfort and relaxation. Beat the heat with air conditioning or ceiling fans, and embrace snug evenings curled up in front of the fireplace.

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 windsurfer’s 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.

Weekend away in Smiths Lake
Relaxing house by the Smiths lake. The house had everything we needed. Nice big verandah with Bbq. Very clean inside. Beds were comfortable. Had a lovely weekend walking around Smiths lake & Blueys Beach.
