About this cottage rental
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.
Gourmet Breakfast Options:
Breakfast provisions for every day of your stay are fully stocked in the fridge for you to cook at your leisure. 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.
Resort-Style Bathroom:
Newly renovated featuring a dual overhead rain shower, fully stocked with a premium Sukin skincare range, fluffy hotel towels, and luxurious bathrobes.
The Perfect Sleep:
Sink into crisp white, hotel-quality sheets on a plush queen-size bed. Wake up to stunning lake views without even lifting your head from the pillow.
Double roller blinds allow for total darkness or sheer daytime privacy.
Lakeside Living:
Unwind on our large L-shaped sofa to watch the ever-changing water views from our oversized window, read a book, or stream your favourites on Netflix.

The Neighbourhood: Marks Point Peninsula
Nestled at the very tip of the Marks Point peninsula, you will enjoy a serene, postcard-perfect stay surrounded by calm waters and a peaceful local community. While you will feel a million miles away, you are incredibly well-connected to everything this magnificent region has to offer:
A Waterfront Dining & Escape Scene: You are spoiled for choice with a vibrant dining scene, local clubs, and waterfront restaurants just a few kilometres away in nearby Swansea and Belmont. If you prefer the ultimate date night in your bathrobes, a fantastic variety of local cuisines can be delivered straight to the boathouse via Uber Eats.
Beaches & Shopping: You are just a 5-minute drive from the pristine, white sands of Blacksmiths Beach.
Major supermarkets, boutique shops, and local daily essentials are just minutes away.
Golfers' Paradise: World-class fairways are right on your doorstep. Enjoy a premium round at the stunning Belmont Golf Club (a premier 18-hole championship links course right on the coast) or the scenic Waratah Golf Club nearby.
Local Conveniences: A short, beautiful stroll or drive takes you to the local Marks Point cafés, the post office, a newsagent, and the Marks Point Marina.
Stress-Free Access: Located just 1 hour and 30 minutes north of Hornsby (Sydney), making Serenity by the Lake the absolute perfect, effortless weekend escape from the city.

My wife and I visited serenity by the lake and loved every bit of the place. Leah was an incredible host, she was very helpful and welcoming and provided us with everything we needed and more. The amenities were great and were available for us to use throughout our stay, especially the kayaks which were so much fun given the great weather. The view was amazing and the place was very clean. The best part of the trip were the ducks that came to our door every morning and made everyday feel like a peaceful serene escape. Would definitely come back next summer!

The host was very warm and lovely. The property was clean and tidy. We were pleasantly surprised by the large diversity and plentiful of food and snacks available for our enjoyment. All the amenities were easily accessible. The close proximity to the water and the views are great value for money. Couldn’t recommended more!
