When you step into Serendipity you enter another world, a world of pure luxury. This was the third time we had eaten here and we were returning after six years to find that everything is still perfect. On this visit we were lucky enough to stay for the night and experience the wonderful b&b. The rooms have every comfort and... More

Six of us went to this great restaurant for a birthday celebration on 28 March. The food, wine and hospitality was faultless. What makes it extra special is that the menu is brought to life by an enthusiastic description of each course by your host - making it very difficult to choose! We will certainly be returning again on our... More

I took my wife here in part because of the great ratings on tripadvisor. We were completely blown away. We've never experienced anything like this before. Every part of the evening was done to perfection. It was fun, romantic, surprising and the quality was excellent from start to finish. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a genuinely... More

As part of our Honeymoon in Wilderness we wanted to experience quality dining. We definitely went to the right place. The food and overall hospitality of the owners are world class. The location is very romantic, the staff very knowledgeable and professional. We will be back!

Our two night stay at Serendipity was fantastic. The room was extremely comfortable with many little touches adding to the enjoyment. The bathroom is small but has a good supply of towels and amenities needed. Once the bedroom widows were closed all road noise was blocked out. Breakfast was delicious and served by Elsabe, who kept us informed of what... More
