From the moment we arrived, it was clear that every detail had been thoughtfully considered to create a welcoming and relaxing experience. We were greeted with homegrown fresh herbs and fruit, a chilled bottle of bubbly, and a lovely red wine—such a warm and generous touch!The facilities were immaculate, with everything spotlessly clean and well-maintained. The beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. The outdoor BBQ area was fantastic, providing a perfect spot to enjoy meals surrounded by the stunning natural beauty of Smiths Lake.Steve went above and beyond to make our stay special, setting out kayaks for us and offering helpful advice on the best places to safely paddle around the lake. Exploring the natural, untouched beauty of this area was a highlight of our trip—it truly is breathtaking.Steve and Kaz were the perfect hosts: kind, welcoming, and accommodating.

Summary: We went to Fishtales to celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary and even though the weather was miserable we had such a beautiful time. The accomodation is so comfortable and clean with the BEST view of the lake. Kaz and Steve have organised the house so well and everything we needed was within an arms reach. From the first moment we got there Steve was so kind and helpful, even explaining the lake and different areas for us. Nothing was too much trouble and we cannot wait to go back. Would recommend this place to everyone, especially couples looking to spend some quality time together. Thanks again Kaz and Steve, see you again! Meaghan and Michael

Summary: Enjoyed our stay at Fish Tales. Beautiful house, location and hosts. Steve and Kaz kept us updated on road conditions and even offered us an opportunity to cancel due to the horrible weather conditions. Although it rained the whole stay we had a wonderful time. So clean and all the comforts of home but with a stunning view. We will return to enjoy it in the sunshine!

Summary: My husband & I stayed at this property for three nights and really wish we’d booked it for longer. Top quality furnishings, appliances & lighting makes it such a beautiful place to spend a few days. We loved the outlook over the lake and the pristine decking area is the perfect spot to read a book & relax in the afternoon. The house’s location beside the lake is stunning; we took our paddle boards out on the lake & it was like being on a tropical island. We had breakfast on the deck looking out over the lake each morning. Blueys Beach & Seal Rocks are just a short drive. Would highly recommend.
