Perfect in every way
What an amazing little gem this place is, totally understand why it’s called Serenity. The place is set up perfectly in every way, warm, cosy & sensational views. It’s so quiet and private.The cupboards and fridge are stocked. You can literally rock up without doing a little shop before going there. It has everything you need plus more. A lovely kind host as well. Our last night we slept with the curtains open and watched the sun come up and then waited for the ducks to arrive for their breakfast ( always on time ) We’ll be back again and will recommend Serenity by the Lake to all. Many thanks Leah

Absolutely gorgeous couples retreat
We had a wonderful stay here. An idyllic spot with black swans grazing just meters from the door. The place has been beautifully renovated everything is very new and clean. The hosts have supplied and thought of absolutely everything. Recommend this to anyone though the stair access would present a challenge for anybody with mobility issues.

Serenity by the lake is serene indeed
Excellent attention to detail. They have thought of everything, including the things I forgot such as a phone charger. Cheese, crackers and some bubbles really hit the spot as we sat outside watching those enjoying the lake. Kayaks and paddle boards meant we didn’t have to go anywhere and we didn’t except out for dinner. Our hosts provided a wonderful environment to relax and rejuvenate. The only down side to this property is the numerous flights of stairs to access it and is not suitable for those with mobility issues unless of course prepared to catch a boat to the private wharf. Which personally I think would be worth it.

Serenity! Pure serenity!
The best experience for two kiwis that couldn’t go home for Christmas! Everything you could want and need, so much to do (and not do!). The host is lovely but leaves you to the bliss, could not ask for more!
