House Location
Pacific Palms is a small enclave locked in by Myall Lakes National Park, Wallis Lakes, Smiths lake, Booti Booti National Park, and the Pacific Ocean. Together make over 100 kilometres of lakes hugging the coastline with only sand dunes a lot of the time separating the lakes from the ocean.
Smiths lake is located in between Myall Lakes and Wallis Lake and is 20 mins drive south of Forster and 2.5/3 hours drive from Sydney.
The house is perched 20 metres high on the lakes edge overlooking Ski Cove. This is one of the prized positions of Smiths Lake as it is in a secluded quiet spot overlooking and fronting the best part of lake. This part of the lake has lots of calm shallow sandy bottomed water to swim in (Ideal for kids).
The house is also a short stroll to the locals shops: bakery, grocery/news agency, butcher and liquor shop. There is also a hairdresser/beauty salon and the Good Food Store local cafe (great coffee) (what more do you need)!
The Frothy Coffee, open 7 days and situated on the lake at Amaroo alongside the boat ramp. You can enjoy a morning coffee or lunch and then hire watercraft at the sailing club there.
We have a local chemist, doctors, a few specialty shops etc. are a short drive away at Blueys and Boomerang Beach there are also restaurants, cafe's, and clubs for dining out.
The local Bowling Club and Recreation Club provides a good option for families. There are other restaurants at Bluey's and Boomerang along with a village shopping centre with Huey's at Bluey's, a licensed Pizza bar restaurant, Drift Cafe/takeaway at Blueys Beach and Sips at Mobys Boomerang Beach.
The Kembali Café and take away at Blueys is also another great option of local restaurants within the area.
