Serena- a stone's throw from Lake Daylesford

Derived from the Latin word serēnus, meaning tranquil and serene, Serena Daylesford offers the perfect escape for guests seeking relaxation amongst nature.

Nestled amongst the trees and located just minutes from beautiful Lake Daylesford, this surprisingly spacious two-bedroom retreat combines peaceful surroundings with all the comforts needed for a memorable stay.

The light-filled open-plan living area features a fully equipped kitchen flowing onto a wonderful elevated deck immersed in the surrounding greenery, creating the perfect setting for slow mornings or relaxed evenings with a glass of wine.

The home offers two king bedrooms, including one with flexible bedding that can be configured as either a king bed or two singles, ideal for couples, friends or small families. Guests can also enjoy a cosy gas log fire, Smart TV, WiFi, laundry facilities and BBQ for year-round comfort and convenience.

Spend your days walking around Lake Daylesford, enjoying lunch at the iconic Boathouse, or simply unwinding in the peaceful atmosphere Serena is named for.

Combining comfort, nature and an unbeatable location, Serena Daylesford is a beautiful retreat to relax, recharge and reconnect.

Serena offers the following flexible bedding configuration:
Bedroom 1 - King

Bedroom 2 - King or 2 singles

Great location, great accommodation!

We had a wonderful time at Serena, which is in a perfect location - just up the road from the lake and a short walk into town. Comfy beds, plenty of room and a lovely view of the trees from the balcony. Would definitely recommend!
