Description

Perfect for romance, friends or family.

Feel your troubles fade away as you travel by boat to your waterfront retreat.

Nestled amongst the trees you can sit back, relax and listen to the sound of the water lapping against the shore.

Do as much or as little as you like.

Explore the surrounding bush trails, fish, take a boating adventure to Spencer and visit the only liquor licenced tree in Australia or boat to one of the many river beaches.

Alternatively you can simply chill, read, listen to music or play the provided board games and video library.

Serendipity has two bedrooms (one master) consisting of two double beds and several single beds. It is ideal for couples, families or good friends.

Getting there!

Serendipity is water access only, which means that you either need to hire a boat from one of the many nearby marina's, BYO boat, get a water taxi or the once a day ferry.

Kangaroo Point is a very popular stepping off area to the Hawkesbury River as is Brooklyn.

Both are accessed via the F3 & the Pacific Highway(approximately 20 mins north from Sydney on the freeway).

There is a boat ramp at Kangaroo pt with ample safe parking for both your car and boat trailer. Alternatively you can try Dolphin Marina PH:

Using your own boat (MAX 20ft) or water taxi, Serendipity is just 12 minutes way from Kangaroo Point.

Guest Reviews
We had a wonderful weekend at Serendipity. It was so relaxing and in such a beautiful little spot on the river. We would definitely love to return!
Peggy - April 2008
Rating: 5 out of 5
Great location, plenty of accomodation, all the creature comforts. Our only complaint was the couch was too comfortable and we all fell asleep before the movie ended.(Maybe that was all the fresh air and waterskiing)

I hope to go back again in the near future.
CARMEL - February 2007
Great time had by all. Perfect escape from the hussle & bussle of city life. Neat and comfortable home with all the amenities for a comfortable stay.
Mark - January 2007
I had an incredibly relaxing time, woke to watch the sun come up over the river and spent the whole weekend in my board shorts. I would recomend Serendipity to couples or a group of friends without hesitation.
Mac - January 2007
Great location and very pleasant stay.
Christopher - November 2006
Serendipity is the perfect place to escape the hectic pace of Sydney city living.

With a large living area perfect for entertaining and a great balcony overlooking the water and surrounding bushlands.

We were greated with a bottle of Champagne on arrival and the place was equiped with everything we could possibly need & want.
Matt - September 2006
We had a lovely, romantic and relaxing time at Serendipity. We found it a great way to unwind, we couldn't believe how quiet it was! We are looking forward to coming back again very soon. Highly recommended!
