Stoked!
We loved our stay at Smiths Beach. Perfect for two families with young kids - the kids loved being in the bunk room together! Perfect yard for our dogs too, huge and secure. Had everything we needed and close walk to Smiths Beach. Only think we would have loved was an indoor clothes horse for drying clothes when it’s wet outside and also the gas tank under the bbq was empty, but otherwise LOVED it and want to return next year!!!! Thank you :)

Sand surf family and friends
Another fabulous stay at smiths beach. We love this property it suits our needs perfectly. Feels like our home away from home. Been a regular holiday destination for our family for over 5 years . Secure backyard for the dogs, and great teenagers retreat downstairs whilst the adults chill out upstairs. Kitchen is well equipped and it is easy to keep clean. Caroline is great to deal with and responds quickly.

Great place!
We really enjoyed this property for our MotoGP holiday. Fantastic property with all the essentials, accomodating 5 adults with plenty of room to spare. Great kitchen and bbq located on the spacious deck. Only about a 30min walk to the track made it the perfect location. Great memories made here and would love to return to this property again one day. Thanks to Caroline for everything, it was a pleasure dealing with you. Thanks Dane.

Alway fantastic
We love our smith beach holidays at shearwater rise. Been coming here for a few years now , Caroline is a great host and responds quickly to any request. House is perfect for our all male family and their friends … and the dog loves it too.. Fully fenced yard keeps her safe. Loved the new downstairs outdoor furniture and fire pit. My kids have pretty much spent their teenage .& young adult life at this house every Xmas for near on 4 years now … we have some wonderful memories of lots of bbqs and drinks on the back deck . Low key no fuss house with everything you need which makes it a holiday for me too :-] thanks again Caroline

Perfect for families
I saw an earlier review which said this property was everything that it promised which is absolutely true. We’ll equipped for families with everything you need. Fencing and yard perfect our dog. And position to beach so convenient. The owner was easy to deal with and very responsive. If it wasn’t Christmas (plus it was booked :)) we would have extended our stay. Will be booking another stay next year.

The double storey house plus lovely garden is perfect for family and friends. It has everything you need, from the waterfall showers to kitchen goodies and comfy couches. Short walk to the beach and it’s within easy reach of everywhere on the island. Highly recommend!

Very nice house in a good location to explore everything Philip Island has to offer. Plenty of bedding and a well stocked pantry made this place a cosy and inviting place to stay. Aircon was even turned on to make the place warm for our arrival. Highly recommend.
