Wouldn't you like to..... Wake up with the sun streaming in and the birds singing. Quick swim in the lake or a brisk walk along the shore, before a leisurely brekky with the kookaburras. Then over to the sandbar for a swim and a surf at Cellito Beach. BBQ lunch with the brush turkeys for company. Relax awhile. As the breeze picks up, sail, wind surf or kite surf on the lake. Pre-dinner drinks and a stroll along the lake shore to enjoy the sunset. Evening dinner (with the possums and bandicoots) before falling into bed..... only to... Wake up with the sun streaming in...
"Another wonderful holiday here - weather superb & lake at its best. Swam every day & lots of R & R. Thanks for being so helpful with our Internet problem. It's wonderful to have a holiday in a home NOT just a house!"
"Smiths Lake is a wonderful place - unspoilt bushland & very peaceful & safe clean water. A comfortable, well-appointed house with a beautiful view - perfect for our stay over Easter. We had a relaxing break, were blessed with great swimming and lots of sunshine. Wow!"
Make Our Retreat Yours
Angophora Grove is our escape from the hustle and bustle of Sydney. We would like you to make it your retreat, as well. The house is only metres from the lake, nestled among the beautiful Angophoras (the Apple Gums after which our property is named) with its own private track to the lake shore.

The house sleeps 6-10 in 3 bedrooms with 2 double sofa beds in the lounge room (See details below). There are two 2 Bathrooms. The layout of the house (See Plan in Images) makes it great for 2 families of friends to share.

We have TV (incl digital channels), CD and DVD or you can connect your laptop computer or i-Pod to the stereo system. There is also Wi-Fi Internet access.

The slow combustion log fireplace makes the house snug in winter.

When we visit we like cooking so the well-equipped, modern kitchen (condiments and spices supplied) and outdoor BBQ area allow meal preparation to be part of your holiday experience. But if cooking's not your idea of fun, you can order take-away or eat at a local restaurant.

The separate garage contains a table-tennis table and is a great play area on rainy days. The garage also has extra bunk beds (very basic accommodation only)if you have a tribe of teenagers from whom you'd like to escape!

There is always ample parking in the street.

To relax or not...?
Do nothing or do everything...

You can choose to relax.... with a glass of wine and a good book with nothing more to disturb your day than bird song, the breeze rustling through the trees or the distant rumble of the surf rolling in on the ocean beach.
Or
You can choose to be energetic... and swim, surf, sail, paddle, water ski, windsurf or kite surf, putter round the lake in a tinny, go fishing in the lake or from the ocean beaches, play golf, walk or jog along the beach, explore the rock pools, do some snorkelling, stroll around the lake shore when the lake is low, visit the Frothy Coffee Boatshed and Cafe, check out the local market, pull on your walking boots and explore the coastal wilderness and rainforests of the National Parks and State Forests of the Great Lakes district, head off to the movies, eat out at a local restaurant and much more.
