Accommodates a large family. It was more than comfortable for us with 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and two living areas. Very thought out home. Had everything you could possibly need for a fun, family holiday.

Rebecca Australia

The house was fantastic, well equipped and located, we will definitely be back, kids loved having the spa to relax in and there was plenty of space for everyone to spread out

We found Serenity By the Lake was the perfect holiday accommodation for our family of six. The house was very well appointed. The location was excellent. The hosts, Margaret and Alex, were most helpful and obliging. We would definitely recommend it; and we shall have no hesitation in staying there again. Thank you Margaret and Alex.

Serenity by the Lake has been our family home for over 25 years. It is a perfect haven for families looking for a beach holiday, for sporting groups, work or business events or for people wanting a break from the big city. The house is fully equipped so you don't need to bring anything and we even provide hairdryer in each bathroom. Outside there are two decks, one perfect for breakfast and the other has a spa and bbq perfect for summer evenings.
I enjoy life and most of all I enjoy travelling. My husband and I own a small village house in the south of France where we escape to in the Australian winter. I also enjoy being with my family and socialising with my friends.
The Illawarra region is renowned for its spectacular coastline. The house is only a few minutes away from the beautiful Port Kembla beach where you can surf and swim or take a dip in the Olympic size pool which has a very family friendly pool area. We also have Lake Illawarra which is perfect for fishing and sailing. The house is also less than 1km from the golf course or if you prefer shopping or movie theatres these are only minutes away.
