About this property

Serenity by the Lake

There is a 3 night minimum stay for this property.

4 bedroom house by Lake Illawarra and only minutes to beaches.

Enjoy fishing, diving or swimming or relax with a drink in the 6 person outdoor spa.

A family friendly house with all modern amenities.
Relax and unwind in this 4 bedroom home-away-from home that is perfect for the whole family.

Our house is a comfortable 75 minute drive from Sydney International and Domestic airports and a mere 10 minute drive from Wollongong. Only a few minutes takes you to Port Kembla beach and just 25 minutes away is the tourist hub of Kiama.

A family friendly shopping mall is only 2 kilometers away. Our house is very suited to a large family or two families travelling together. The large front yard allows for a caravan and boat as well as 3 or 4 cars making it ideal for those people on the road.

Perfect for families and going to sporting events.

Our house is close to all major sporting venues in the Wollongong area. Fred Finch park is only a 10 minute drive away where netball, baseball and softball finals are held each year. We are also only a 15 minute drive from Wollongong where we have WIN Stadium that hosts our local NRL Dragons as well as many outdoor events such as Nitro Circus.

In addition to the Stadium there is the Wollongong Entertainment Centre and Illwarra Performing Arts Centre both hosting concerts, theatre and other events throughout the year.

Our house is perfectly situated to be close to any function that you are involved with and with access to major shopping centres it makes it easy for a family to organise their stay.

Fantastic Place & Location

Stayed here with 8 Males on a golfing & races weekend. Plenty of room and everything you need for a holiday away. In a perfect location, short drive to golf coarse and a 15 minute cab ride to Kembla Grange race track. Would highly recommend this place to anybody.

Great property with a lot of little extras that make it feel like home

Great property with lovely hosts. House was clean, tidy and lovely. All the little extras were a lovely touch. Hot tub was great for sore muscles after hockey games. Quiet area yet close to Wollongong. Would highly recommend a stay and we would stay again if in the area again. Thank you.

Beautiful house, welcoming hostess

The house is spacious and comfortable and well cared for, with everything you need for your stay including clean sheets and plenty of fresh towels. The outdoor spa was a huge bonus, especially for the younger kids who took it as their own personal little swimming pool. The teenage kids loved having some streaming services for movie nights in the evening after a full day at the beach or roaming around local attractions. Oh, and the park across the road was great too! All in all we loved our time there. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Lovely 4 bedder close to all amenities

Very comfortable 4 bedroom house with lots of space for various family members to hangout doing their own thing. 2 lounge areas and a sunroom:dining room, and 2 outdoor areas for chilling in evening breezes. All the amenities you need. Lots of parking at the front for cars. Stairs to bedrooms maybe an issue for infirm/disabled. My 93 year old mother managed by going up & down slowly. Great place for families and friends alike.

Great home Great hosts

Loved the house. Hosts kept to themselves. Park across the road. We have a 2.5 yr old Houdini, the front door only has a button to lock and then a pull handle to unlock making it very easy for my son to open. The other problem we had was the spa, also no locks. We managed to keep it a secret from our Houdini but would’ve liked him to be able to use it if it was able to be locked. Other then that, the house can accommodate a number of people. It’s beautiful, clean and spacious. I would recommend for families with older kids.

Disappointed. This time round cleanliness was not up to standard.

Property location great, hosts very friendly but unfortunately there seemed to be lots of baby cockroaches around and into the cutlery etc. Cutlery had food particles in that it wasn't washed properly. We had a 9month old baby which wasn't very nice. The rug was quite dirty in that it seems to not have been shaken out. Towels had an unwashed smell. Shame it dampered our holiday.

Very Unclean

They property was not cleaned properly fridge was unusable so was the spa fly screens were covered in a thick dust some curtains have mould spots on them, one bed had pubic hair on the supposedly clean sheets the house stank the garden and both verandas were a mess the floors needed a good clean but there was no mop. The contact person was the cleaner whom just let herself in after being advised DO NOT ENTER the list goes on. If the property was properly cleaned it would be a great affordable place to stay

Wollongong cycling getaway

Great location for cycling around Wollongong. Immediate access to cycleways North and South. Multiple living areas as well as having balcony and spa areas was good for the family. Nice to have a spa at the end of the day too. Hosts were available and helpful when required. We enjoyed our stay.

Awesome property

10/10 stay was awesome, property was better then photos and suited all ages that stayed, central to main shops and awesome view, don’t not recommend if you’re pregnant as the stairs did kill my legs after going up and down constantly, but definitely will be staying again if we go that way for a holiday again

You feel at home

The hosts are wonderful, helpful and give you great privacy, even though they are literally Nextdoor. Plenty of car spaces on property. There are about 8-10 steps to get to the front door and two level of steps to get to the bedrooms upstairs. The two decks and gardens are so serene to sit in and the outdoor spa was great. The house is literally across the road from a playing field and park too. The house is located just a few minutes away from shops and a short drive to many other areas around. You don’t need to bring anything at all - it’s like you are visiting back home to your own parents house, they have everything you need - but your own food! Master room has a a good size tv. There are two great living areas as well. The heating was great as we stayed in the winter season. Will definitely want to book again when I can. Thank you to the hosts for a fantastic long weekend. :-)
