About this property

Serendip at Culburra

Serndip is a comfortable fifties beach house which retains that old fashioned relaxed holiday charm, but with newly renovated kitchen and bathrooms. It has just been painted and decorated and all beds are new and of hotel quality.

From the large rear deck, which has a BBQ, are uninterrupted views of Lake Wollumboola. There is a huge backyard for the kids to play in.

It is only a 5 minute walk to the main ocean beach and lake, and 7 minutes to Tilbury Cove beach. There is a corner shop at the end of the street.

The house has 3 bedrooms, 2 with queen beds and the other with 2 single beds. The master bedroom has an ensuite bathroom, and there is also another main bathroom for the house.

The deck flows out from the kitchen and dining area, and there is a separate sitting room with CD/DVD player and TV. There is a laundry with washer & dryer, and also an outside shower just perfect for when you come back from the beach.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Lovely spot

Beautifully appointed home that feels more like you're staying at a friend's house rather than a rental. Well located for the beach and for the lake. We hope to return.

Oasis of calm

We had a wonderful time staying at Serendip. The mix of 50's styling and eclectic artworks gave the home a cool vibe. Great dining table with views out to the garden and lake beyond. Close to the beach and lake with the convenience of shops nearby. Didn't want to leave...hope to return!

Great, cosy and cool place to stay

Lovely house and very cool decor throughout. Great for the family and just hanging out in. Easy walk to nearly everything you need. Warm place even on a cold, windy and wet night. Will certainly return. Could do with a microwave... especially with kids staying. See you again soon!

Funky cottage with all you need

Richard’s cottage is cosy, colourful and eclectic. It boasts a great backyard with a glimpse of the lake. We enjoyed sitting on the deck, sipping coffee and listening to the birdsong. It’s close to a great little cafe and near a beach... not the main Culburra beach. The cottage has all you need, a fireplace to warm cockles if there in cooler months. It’s a lovely base from which to explore.

Fantastic 1950’s retro house

Beautifully curated and appointed house, very close to Culburra Beach and the lake. Really enjoyed the serenity and relaxing feel. Highly recommend this place for a great weekend away

Comfortable well equiped home

Initially we were disappointed that the view shown in the pic has been blocked by a house built at the end of the garden. However we got over that as it was such a lovely comfortable and well equiped home with easy access to the most beautiful beaches. The deck at the back is a lovely place to linger, read and enjoy the large garden and birds. It is well secluded from the neighbours either side. We would definitely book again.

Why they chose this property

The house and location have a lovely relaxed old-fashioned feel about them.

What makes this property unique

This original 1950s holiday house has been decorated to provide the relaxed feel of old-fashioned holidays, so you feel you've really got away from it all. Bathrooms and kitchen has been renovated, but the furnishings and decor are relaxed coastal style. This is not a minimalist all-white home. There's even a screened private outdoor shower for rinsing off after a swim.
