The Beach House
Helen was great to deal with. Plenty of room and options for chilling out. Was nice for our Melbourne family to be able to bring their dog with them. Will stay here again when back this way

Great place and host
Excellent communication and the house is great. Thank you for having us
The place was absolutely lovely! Helen was extremely helpful prior to the stay and the check in procedure was very easy.
This place had a lot of amenities available including a full kitchenware so it really felt like a home away from home.
They even had shampoo and conditioner and ample towels and toilet paper and paper towels.
I would highly recommend for any families or couples that wish to stay here.

Smith's Beach Mother's Day
The place was well presented and communication with the manager was second to none. Only thing negative would be that there we no basics upon arrival, like tea or coffee. After a very long drive to get there it was a noticeable absence but other wise, you will not be disappointed.

Our one night at Smiths Beach Property
The property was clean and welcoming with plenty of space for everyone.
Unfortunately there was no hot water for showering in the second bathroom which we could manage as we were only staying one night.
Another concern was a TV perched on top of the freezer on the deck area. When opening the freezer someone else needed to hold the TV so as it didn't fall.
Apart from those 2 concerns we had a great stay, brilliant location, close to the beach and an excellent cafe.
