What guests have said
Had an amazing time and absolutely loved the place. Came down for a girls trip for my 30th birthday and wanted somewhere we could relax, lounge, make cocktails and play board games and this was perfect. The bedrooms were all very nice, decent bedding, decent sizing. Two bathrooms, slightly smallish but very stylish and modern. The kitchen and living spaces were the real winners here. Large open and exactly what we wanted. We made big group meals in the large well equipped kitchen, sat at the big dining table and played board games and the massive couch was sooooo comfy!! Overall, absolutely wonderful!!
Beautiful place exactly like the pictures and thank you for the Easter eggs. A bit of a hiccup only with the internet being down from the morning until we got back in the afternoon but bookabreak responded quickly regarding this issue. Would highly recommend this place very roomy and clean great for big families.
A great golfing weekend. Great place to stay. Very clean and fresh. Good location
Loved everything about it for a couples getaway with friends. The place was absolutely amazing! It was so roomy and spotless. We had a blast with the basketball hoop right in front. We loved it!
A wonderful family getaway. Thank you for a lovely stay. Great location – within walking distance to beautiful back beach and walk along the coast. Excellent getaway for our multigenerational holiday. Perfect for all our needs.
We had a group of 12 including 3 toddlers and this place was perfect. It was clean, spacious and we felt right at home. The kitchen had everything you needed and the large open plan living meant we could prepare and eat meals whilst watching out for our little ones. Additionally the bedrooms were closed off from the living area – great for nap times. The kids also loved exploring the enclosed outdoor grass area. The place is great for adults too. Location is really close to the hot springs, golf course and a short drive to some great coffee. Bookabreak were fantastic to deal with and they were so thoughtful by making check in/check out easier for us. Would definitely recommend. Thank you again for allowing us to stay at Serendipity
We loved our stay at this beautiful house. It was very spacious, clean (inside and out) and provided all the amenities we needed. Everything was comfortable and exceeded our expectations. Host was kind enough to offer us early check in and check out which was a nice addition. Definitely would recommend. 🙂
Thanks for allowing us to stay in this lovely home. great place to stay, close to lots of places
A fabulous home for a girls getaway. Beautiful, light and airy place. The hosts were really accommodating with an early check in and very responsive with any questions. Thank you!
House was clean and tidy, nicely furnished and comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped and beds were comfortable. Would stay again. Host was very easy to communicate with.
Had a great stay, lovely place and room for the kids to run around outside. We left some items and Bookabreak were extremely helpful and responsive in helping us get them back
Serendipity was an amazing place to stay with 3 families. There is ample room, its bright, spacious and clean with all of the amenity provided for a comfortable stay. The communication was quick and friendly and very accomodating to our families. Will definitely be back and will recommend this house to others.
Great house for a couple of families to stay in. Brilliant outdoor deck, walking tracks close by and heaps of space in the kitchen and lounge area. Our little group would re: book. We loved it.
Great house in a handy location. Extremely clean and very well equiped. Nice linen etc. Host was quick to respond to messages.
We stayed for a family getaway and there was plenty of space for multiple families. Our young children enjoyed the yard and it was a safe, enclosed space. The house was clean, kitchen had plenty of cutlery, plates etc. and there was a door to close off the bedrooms from the main kitchen/living area. Great place to stay and great communication from the host.
