About this property

Serenity by the Lake- Waterfront Sanctuary for Two with Jetty

Leave the world at the top of the stairs and step into absolute waterfront paradise. Perched right on the foreshore of Lake Macquarie, this exclusive, self-contained boathouse is the ultimate romantic escape designed entirely for couples looking to reset, reconnect, and unwind. Pour a complimentary glass of chilled champagne and watch the sunset from the edge of your own private jetty...

Welcome to Serenity by the Lake—a beautifully relaxed, modern, and completely private waterfront sanctuary, positioned in one of the most idyllic locations on Lake Macquarie.

Breathtaking lake views greet you from every single window. The magic begins the moment you descend the stairs to your private oasis. You will be absolutely blown away by the shifting colours of the lake, its white sands, and its crystal-blue waters.

Spend your days swimming, fishing, kayaking, or stand-up paddleboarding with all equipment provided. As day turns to night, sink into the warmth of the lakeside fire pit, toasting marshmallows while watching a truly magical sunset over the water from your private jetty.

Absolute Lakeside Luxury Included:
We pride ourselves on the premium, thoughtful extras that make our guests never want to leave:

A Chandon Welcome:
A complimentary bottle of chilled Chandon Brut awaits you in the fridge, perfectly paired with a curated cheese and charcuterie board.

Choose between our Country Breakfast (bacon, eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, and baked beans) or our Healthy Option (muesli, Gippsland yoghurt, fresh berries, avocado, and eggs). Both feature fresh fruit and Helga’s bread.

The Gourmet Kitchen: Fully equipped with quality cookware, a Cafe Blender for fresh smoothies, a Lattissima pod machine with generous Campos and Nespresso pods, and a plumbed fridge for endless ice and filtered water.
