Bella Lago Smiths Lake
Stayed here with 2 grandparents, son and 3 grand daughters plus a dog. Great location for the young girls, easy walk to the lake and kids playground. Views over the lake and 2 large covered verandahs. Safe enclosed garden for the dog, Koko. The owner has a way with plants, very green and lush. Appreciated the 3 bathrooms and laundry with washing machine and dryer. A pleasant stay all round

Great Stay in a nice hosue well located
We love this property as it works well for the family and enjoy its close proximity to the lake. Clean and tidy house, lots of bedding, and an excellent yard for our dog. A quiet and peaceful house with large balconies, perfect for relaxing with a view over the lake. Smiths Lake is a great place for relaxing holidays with the family. Our dog has the best holiday on the lake and the house proximity allows him to enjoy his holiday- more than us. We will be back Thank you.

Special birthday celebrations
We booked so that my, adult, family and our dogs were all together to celebrate a special birthday. The house was well equipped and gave us the opportunity to do everything we wanted to as a family, while having our dogs with us. There are lots of dog friendly beaches nearby. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the house is big enough for 5 adults. I would not hesitate to stay at this property again.

Overall, it fell short of expectations. Every time I moved, I heard a sound from the bed and the sound of water being used downstairs was too loud

Beautiful part of the world
Great communication with owner, clean and well appointed house with comfy beds. The two alfresco areas were especially lovely for lunch and dinner. Location was ideal for easy lake access, cafe nearby and shops/restaurants a short drive away. We had a lovely stay and hope to be back again soon!

The property was very nice, clean and well equipped. Area is very quite, near the lake and cafe and short drive to small group of shops. Limited dining options and need to drive to them. Overall we had a good experience even though we had bad weather. Good location for a relaxed holiday.
