Serendipity Lake House - on the water's edge
“Serendipity Lake House” is an absolute waterfront property, with expansive flat lawns lined with pine trees and 180 degree views across Lake Macquarie. If you are looking for a family escape or a relaxing adults only weekend, you will not be disappointed. Use the kayaks, go for a swim, fish or launch your own jet ski or small boat directly from the lawn. Overlooking Bonnells Bay this property is perfectly situated with everything on your doorstep.
A little slice of heaven right on the lake! This beautifully decorated and recently renovated lake property has a Hamptons coast theme, is family friendly, and welcoming. Ideal for families or people that are after somewhere to relax and unwind, you will not feel cooped up inside. With comfy beds, lovely styling, and ample natural light, you cannot help but feel like you are outside even when sitting in the lounge room.
This single-story property is fully furnished and has all the conveniences and luxuries you need to fully enjoy your stay. With an open plan living area, three generous bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen with electric stove, dishwasher, and views of the lake, you cannot help but unwind and relax in the space.
Step onto the large back deck and you automatically feel a part of the lake. The rear garden area has a large, bindi-free grassed lawn for the kids to play on, trampoline, and entry to the lake. The best part is the water is only waist deep for a while so you can watch the kids have fun or enjoy the water yourself, which can get remarkably warm. Of an evening enjoy a cold beverage on the picnic table near the water or the deck, or roast marshmallows on the firepit as you watch the lake change colour with the setting sun.
- 3 BEDROOM HOUSE – (all with BIRs and chest of drawers) open plan kitchen, living and dining area. - Master with King bed and ensuite, second bedroom with Queen bed, third bedroom with bunk beds and trundle (double on the bottom, single on top and single trundle) - Large outdoor seating, 6 burner BBQ, and plenty of room for everyone. - 55” smart TV with free Wi-Fi and Optus Fetch provided, plus 2nd TV with chromecast in kids bedroom - 2 bathrooms with Shower, vanity, and toilet - no bath tub in either. - Fully equipped kitchen with fridge/freezer, ice making, nespresso machine, dishwasher, and microwave. - Laundry in garage with washing machine and dryer, and clothesline in rear garden. - Split system air-conditioning in lounge. All bedrooms have ceiling fans. - Firepit (you will need to bring your own wood) - Ample toys and games to keep the kids (and adults!) entertained. - Use of 3 Kayaks, 1 SUP, soccer net, totem tennis - Direct water access (see pic for launching ability) , and views everywhere.
Whilst the garage is accessible to guests, the boat that is inside is not available for guests use. You are more than welcome to bring your own boat. The lake can be accessed from the rear of the property via a grass slipway (for small watercraft) or for larger, at the Dora Creek boat ramp down the road. There is plenty of room to park your car on the property though there is no covered area. The house is filled with natural light and enjoys all that comes with living on the lakes edge.
For those with little ones, there are ample children’s toys and games to be found throughout the property. There is a TV with chromecast set up in the kids’ bedroom and a hallway door that can be closed off if the kids are getting a little boisterous. However, there are no gates on the veranda and whilst there is a sliding door that can be locked, you will need to be mindful of this as the lake can be accessed easily.

Quiet Haven
Amidst the rushing around for a wedding, this place was a restful oasis away from the pressures of the world.We had a small issue when we arrived - we had the wrong access code - but it was sorted quickly and it was a very pleasant stay. We spent a lot of the afternoons down by the water, relaxing. We played some frisbee in the back yard and had fun watching the fish jumping out of the water and the varied bird life around the region.Highly recommend.
