    Amazing property perched high in the tree tops with amazing views. Immaculate throughout, spotlessly clean and heaps of added extras like a canoe and kayaks! Communication with host was exceptional. Super attentive and thoughtful. Highly recommend this place to others. You won’t regret it! Unforgettable stay!

    A very spacious and clean property that inserts you into nature. The birds become friends and the views are awesome. A very well appointed house that feels welcoming.

    We had a little extended family gathering and the property was perfect for this. Large enough that there was somewhere for everyone but communal spaces too where we could all hang out together. The proximity to the lake and accessibility to canoes/kayaks was a fun bonus! Would highly recommend

    We had a wonderful week at Adrift in Smith’s Lake. Everything was as per the listing. It is a very special and relaxing house in a peaceful location. Despite some wild weather we were able to kayak and swim in the lake, hire a boat and fish and go to the local beaches. A great break!

    Our family appreciated the many beautiful and comfortable living areas, inside and out, allowing the family to spread out and relax. The roomy kitchen was well appointed with everything we needed and more, and we loved the ice machine. The house is set amongst a private, peaceful and natural garden with lovely birdlife. The proximity to the lake was a bonus, as we paddled, swam and walked throughout the day. The use of the kayaks and canoe was fantastic. The pool table was also well used! We will definitely be back!

    Wonderful location at Smiths Lake with views to the lake. House is very well set out with plenty of room for families to spread out and a great separate bedroom with ensuite which is very private- great for the grandparents! Good communication with the owners over a couple of minor issues. The elevation ensured that the afternoon breezes came in and kept us cool. Found the beds uncomfortable but very good in every other way.

    Steve and Leonie’s place is brilliant. Perfect location, gorgeous surrounds and view. Spacious - wonderful for families! The Kayaks/Canoe were great! Dog friendly. Everything was fabulous. Keep in mind the steep stairs if you’re bringing loads of stuff (we got a workout!), but it’s so worth it. Steve was very communicative and helpful - check in was easy x

    We had a fabulous holiday in Smith's Lake in no small part because of our accommodation. The house was perfect for four adults and four teens. Lots of places to curl up alone with a book or to be together enjoying company. The lake was warm and having access to boats a huge bonus. Heartily recommend.

    The property is wonderful with a great view of the treetops. The rooms all feel spacious and there is plenty to do both nearby to the house and within the house with the pool table and kayaks providing endless entertainment.

    This property was perfect for our extra long weekend and so well equipped.. the owners have thought of everything.. to the point there wasn’t a single thing that we could think we missed out on.. the 4 year old particularly loved feeding the birds straight off the handrail.
