Island getaway near farmland, a bird sanctuary, nature walks, & close to beach

Serenity Estate is situated on Comerong Island, just a 2.5 hour drive from Sydney and a quick crossing in your car by ferry to the island.
If you are looking for somewhere to relax and unwind, look no further.
In the summer you can enjoy a walk to the beach, take a bike ride on our bikes, fish in the lagoon across the road from the property or lounge around by the in-ground swimming pool.
When the weather is cooler, cosy up by the fire with a glass of wine while watching the sun go down, and enjoy the peace and quiet.
When the skys are clear you can see the lights
of galaxies going back millons of years.
Being near a nature reserve, you may get lucky and spot the resident swamp wallabies, echidnas and bandicoots, as well as an abundance of native birds.
The Estate boasts lagoon glimpses and views of Coolangatta Mountain. It's a short walk to the beach where, more often than not, you’ll have the beach to yourself or take a walk through the bird sanctuary.
We have an established vegetable garden, where you can take advantage of seasonal produce. The chooks also lay some pretty tasty eggs.
We have two additional family members Lola and Lena the alpacas and Lena has just had a baby boy on 4 May.
The apartment is fully self-contained with its own entrance.
A fantastic kitchen with all the utensils you need.
There is a comfortable queen bed, an ensuit and a laundry with washing machine for longer stays.
In the large living room, a smart TV, a sofa bed which is suitable for 2 additional guests, a dining area for four, breakfast bar and wood fire heater.


We look forward to welcoming you to Serenity Estate.

Great, peaceful and quiet stay
The place was really nice and perfect for us to simply relax. Easy walk to the beach or an easy drive to Greenwell Point and Culburra. The finishing touch was a birthday cake for us.

Peaceful getaway
We had a lovely peaceful getaway from Sydney. The host was great and gave us a tour of the property and made sure we felt welcome. The pool was just the right temperature and very relaxing. I don’t have one bad thing to say about this experience and stay. The llamas were a bonus!

A hidden gem
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your well appointed, cosy and peaceful property. We could have easily stayed longer. I loved paddling my kayak in the lagoon, dipping into your pool in the afternoons and eating fresh eggs with tomatoes and spinach from your garden. Yum! It was also fun exploring the island on foot, and knowing the reliable ferry man was there for us whenever we wished to cross to the mainland. Thank you for offering your lovely property for holiday rental.

An absolute gem of a getaway
We as a family and the most relaxing time at Serenity Estate. Chris was a fantastic host with his local knowledge, eagerness to help with our 2 children explore the garden and the chickens and made us feel very much at home. The accommodation is spotless, with so many thoughtful extra’s, and the best fresh eggs for breakfast we had in a long time. We would recommend this property!

We loved the serenity! The accommodation itself has all the creature comforts you might need, and the location is heavenly, beautifully green with the sound of different birds in the background. My young daughter was the first one up every morning to help Chris the host pick up the eggs from the chooks, that was the highlight of her day. Amazing experience, getting away from the city and enjoying the peacefulness. You really feel like you've disconnected from the hectic urban life. Chris and Maria are beautiful people, so helpful and generous. Highly recommended if you long to get away from the chaos of the city and give your mind a chance to reset! We'll be back for sure!

very special location! great chilled back location
We had a wonderful time at Comerong Island! I’m so glad I stumbled across this gem of a place.Chris and Maria were lovely and generous hosts and had a lot of patience for my 4 yrs who loved the chicken, ducks and ponies and exploring the property. They have thought of everything at the accomodation which was clean, spacious and well equipped. It’s a quiet spot but we had great time exploring the island and lots to do round Nowra. Look forward to our next trip!

Quiet relaxing holiday
Comerong island is a quiet and remote place to relax and unwind. Serenity Estate is a cozy peaceful accommodation. Kids loved the pool and the chickens and ducks, and loved collecting eggs and fresh fruit and vegetables each morning. Adults loved the peace and quiet. The beach on comerong island was too remote (and unpatrolled) so we went back to the mainland for safer beaches. Some nice fishing spots on the island however. Note there are no shops or restaurants on the island. Would recommend if you are after a quiet place to relax amd unwind.

wonderful relaxing stay
Chris and Maria went out of there way to make us feel comfortable in their beautiful property. The home was well equipped, clean and tastefully decorated. Kids loved the pool and the animals on and around the property. We had fresh eggs and even got to try duck eggs. They lent us their fishing rods so the kids could give fishing a try, and when my thongs broke on the way home from the beach, they even gave me a new pair. We will definitely be back.
