Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Smiths Lake

we loved staying at Clare's place, everything we needed to have an enjoyable holiday was supplied. Kids loved the wii, DVD selection and board games. beds were super comfy, lots of lovely light and our dog absolutely loved the dog beach.

Fabulous location with great cafe across the road, playground next door and the village shops around the corner. Place was nicely appointed with comfortable beds. Donna was v responsive and provided great suggestions of places to visit.

spacious, clean and very well-equipped accommodation. our stay was really enjoyable. Roger and his wife are very hospitable. good anchorage to browse Port Stephens. great value for the money. we recommend.

This place was perfect for us. Dog friendly with a great backyard and close walk to the beach and cafe made it a really lovely and easy place to have a weekend away with our furbabies. The place was immaculate and had all the amenities we needed to have a really comfortable stay. No complaints at all. Jaymie was really responsive and gave us a late checkout which allowed us to enjoy that little bit longer in this beautiful patch of the world.

The property had everything we needed. It was perfectly presented and was in a convenient location.

Three rivers was an amazing place to unwind. We went on a mini babymoon with our two dogs. The accomodation is spacious and has a really homely feel. We enjoyed relaxing, cooking in the lovely kitchen and watching the world go by on the verandah: We didn’t get to use the pool due to the weather, it looked incredible and we will defo be back to try it out! Dungog village is a short walk with some beautiful boutique shops and a small brewery. Melinda was very responsive and we are so sad we had to leave!

Beautiful stay, thank you very much to the hosts

A beautiful home with very close access to Fingal Bay Beach and also short drive to Shoal Bay - house was a great space for a big family with all that you need within. Lucille set easy instructions for the visit and recommendations for the local area

Sally and Romo go out of their way to make your stay at Mindaribba Cottage a memorable and beautiful experience. Genuine care and thoughtfulness go into the experience. If the charming location and gorgeous cottage aren't enough, the warm bread, fresh eggs, and baked treats on your arrival will totally win you over!

Very cosy comfy bed in a quiet location, good central area for getting around. Close to black butt reserve which was really nice for walking. Very friendly nice host and very clean. Loved it , couldn't fault in anyway.

As no doubt all the reviews would say, tranquil piece of paradise to stay at. Would love to return one day. Sophia was welcoming and I felt at home in the cottage.

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL! We had the most memorable long weekend away at Eamonn and Kerri's Riverdance Airbnb. We loved that the cabin was on the river surrounded by woodlands. Eamonn had baked bread and delivered it to us warm which was such a treat to have with our dinner. Our boys loved feeding their farm animals and baby goats and we were lucky to also meet and cuddle some new baby puppies. The hosts are incredible humans. Kerri has such a warm heart and many of her animals are part of her healing programs which I would highly recommend learning more about. Kayaking, campfires, chess, swims, storytelling, stargazing, and exploring nearby towns were just a handful of memories we will take with us. Thank you Eamonn and Kerri for creating the most wonderful Airbnb experience. Highly Highly recommend. We can't wait to return one day!

Fantastic property with thoughtful hosts; a wonderful choice for families and kids of all ages. Well maintained amenities and attention to detail made our stay with extended family a delight. The heated pool was a hit - even when it rained - and it was easy to get in and out safely for both the toddler and senior in our group. The wood fire pizza oven is definitely worth cranking for dinner or just to hang in the mini-amphitheatre. The playhouse, car and trampoline kept our little one very entertained. Every room was immaculate and beautifully designed. We were even treated to some local produce courtesy of our host - thanks Lauren! A magical location and very peaceful. Just 10 minutes walk to town and if you’re up for exploring, follow the ‘secret’ track to Wreck beach via the bushland at the rear of the garden. Highly recommend.

Absolutely wonderful! We had a lovely peaceful stay at Jen’s house. It was brilliant. Sparkling clean, had everything we needed. The BBQ was great. It was so relaxing. Our little dog loved his stay too. Jen is a fantastic host

Here's a refined version of your text: We had a fantastic time at Windmill! The place is spacious and was perfect for our group of four families. The backyard is amazing, with the pool being the main attraction. The large kitchen with everything you need leads to a nice covered balcony—perfect for unwinding after a long day. The beds were super comfy, and the location is excellent, with supermarkets and restaurants just a few minutes away. Tanya was a wonderful host, very communicative and a lovely person to talk to. Thanks for having us! :)

Fantastic place to take the kids and dogs! Plenty of space for the dogs to run - and walking trails in the state forest. The pool is beautiful - like being at a resort! And warm no matter the weather - the kids were in there even in the rain. Cabin is well equipped with everything you could want and the private fire pit was a big hit.

Our stay at Karen's property was fabulous, just the right peaceful mini break that we so needed. The whole property is beautiful, peaceful, and well looked after, you can even have a few shots of golf. We all loved the pool such a nice added Bonus, we were there every day after going to the beach (or even before some days haha), it's lovely at night with the lights. The guest house is exactly as per the photos in the ad, actually, it feels a bigger space than the photos. The kitchen is well stocked to do some cooking if needed. Our 8 yo boy loved spending time with Zoey (their dog), who is just gorgeous and has such a lovely nature, he also really enjoyed being in charge of feeding the chickens and checking for eggs :-). Karen and Richard are lovely hosts, super accommodating and friendly but also respectful of your privacy, the perfect balance. It was a lovely stay and we hope we can be back soon, our son has already asked when we can go back. Thanks again Karen and Richard :-)

We had a fabulous stay at Deb’s. She has thought of everything and made us and our pooch feel so welcome! We will definitely stay again 😊

The place is very nice and the area is quiet. The beach is close and there are a few cafes around.

Amazing hosts!! Made our little family feel right at home and even had a few sneaky treats for the dog. Great location close to everything but far enough away you have peace and quite! Any question we had, Nathan responded prompt and was happy to help.

Great stay! Will definitely be back next year, thanks!

Great place to stay: quiet, comfortable, tidy and spacious - its easy driving distance to local amenities and not far from Newcastle or other spots along the coast

This is a great house. We spent a week there with our adult children and their partners and it was perfect. Lots of space and a gorgeous location looking out over Smith's Lake. The house was clean and well set up with everything you could want. When there were a couple of minor issues during our stay, Alex was extremely responsive and efficient in sorting them out. The path down to the house is very steep, as the listing says, so that might be an issue for people with limited mobility. Otherwise, I have no hesitation in recommending this house.

Nice little spot to stay for a couple of nights while visiting friends and family. Close to lots of food choices and shopping centres. Close to the lake and not much further to the beach.
