Dip your toes into the calm waters of Wallis Lake and Smiths Lake from these lakefront holiday homes.
Let's face it, not everyone likes the roar of the surf at night outside their holiday home windows. Instead you may prefer the gentle lapping sounds of a glassy smooth lake.
Luckily we have just the solution: a selection of holiday homes nestled on the shores of Wallis Lake and Smiths Lake.
Stay in one of these precious properties and you'll find at your door almost endless opportunities for the perfect holiday in the Barrington Coast: swimming, sailing, general boating, water skiing, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, stand-up paddle boarding, windsurfing and e-foiling.
A huge bonus is the location of these iconic lakes: you're always close to national parks for scenic walks, mountain biking, picnics and birdwatching. And if you'd like a day at the beach then you're minutes from surfing paradise at Blueys Beach, Boomerang Beach, Elizabeth Beach, Cellito Beach and Sandbar Beach.
You'll soon be smitten with lake love.

Bask, Green Point
Bask is a luxury holiday house located in the peaceful village of Green Point on the eastern shores of Wallis Lake. The lake waters lap calmly at the bottom of a short garden path from the expansive lawns shaded by towering trees. The master, studio, kitchen, dining and main living area all enjoy vast views of the lake.
This house was beautifully styled by the owners Andy and Deb (from The Block 2019 television show) in their signature coastal luxe style.
Dyrham Park, Shallow Bay
Secluded on the western shores of Wallis Lake near Coomba Park, this lakefront property is something special. The rambling residence offers five bedrooms, multiple living spaces and dining areas, a firepit, lap pool and expansive grounds. And what do you do with a large property when you're not running livestock? Install a three-hole golf course! With water on three sides, there's easy access to Wallis Lake for all your water-based holiday desires.
Sea Eagle Point, Whoota
The resident donkeys may give you a friendly farm welcome but when you glimpse the expanse of Wallis Lake through the trees you'll know you're at a special lakeside retreat. Sea Eagle Point is where nature's beauty meets modern, homely comfort in an exceptional setting.
Sitting high on a peninsula, the 40 hectare property provides a perfect blend of relaxation and comfy luxury.

Small boats can be launched by the jetty to explore the waters or head to the Recreation Club across the lake.

Brae Villa, Smiths Lake
Relax in the treetops at Brae Villa with your family, friends and furry friends.
