    A peaceful haven with everything you need and more. Lovely touches such as candles, fresh guernsey milk and more. A dream design and we loved the bleeding of the lambs late in the afternoon.

    Ideal location especially during Winter with the wonderful fireplace. The owner is a one-of-a-kind host who made us feel welcome and shared so much info about Prince Albert and what to do. We will definitely be there next Winter if not sooner.

Serendipity has a 2 NIGHT MINIMUM STAY POLICY. It is a beautiful comfortable Cottage located in the historic town of Prince Albert, & is sumptuous, warm & cosy with a modern feel. It is impeccably clean & clutter-free,, with wifi. The upstairs balcony gives you stunning Karoo views & a private chill-out spot, although you also have full use of the garden, braai-area & seating. The bedroom has the very best king size (XL) bed & ensuite bathroom. There is a sofa bed in the spacious living room that is ideal for 2 younger children (pre-teen), or 1 other adult. The Cottage consists of a sunny Bedroom, Bathroom with separate loo, Kitchen, Living & Dining area , & a work area. BRAND NEW - For older children - or if 2 couples are travelling together - we now offer an additional, separate Bedroom (QSXL bed) with its own bathroom, at R400 per person per night, & using the Cottage cooking & lounging areas. If for any reason you choose to leave the balcony, there are beautiful walks in every direction, & 2 adult bicycles available - Ben & Jenny - for a small daily hire-fee. Serendipity is close to good restaurants, art shops, and very importantly, about 2Kms from Lazy Lizard - a perfect ratio of exercise to carrot cake!
I built Serendipity to have a pocket of sanity in this mad world, where people can come and be calm, have delicious massages, walk and breathe and talk and star-gaze, and not be distracted with consumer-frenzy and comparisons and "things". That is why I have a 2 NIGHT MINIMUM STAY POLICY - shorter is just not enough. The entire village is about 4 Kms long and Serendipity has space and clean air, stunning Karoo skies and peace, but within a comfy walking distance to everything. I have been massaging for more than 20 years and offer the most AWESOME MASSAGES to heal and help my preciousl clients, also situated at 3 Fairbairn Ave.
I feel so lucky living here, just slightly away from the madding crowd (and the flies and mosquitoes!!) People who visit PA want to feel the Karoo - not be in a big city IN the Karoo. They want to see and smell the harshness and dryness and the colours and see our awesome Prince Albert stars . They understand that we are in the desert and we have a drought, and that every day is fragile. My Serendipity guests want to walk and breathe and catch up on sleep, and re-charge themselves, which is the reason I have a 2 DAY MINIMUM STAY POLICY. My visitors love the big sky, the gorgeous sunsets and sunrises from the upstairs balcony, the stars, the walks - and rides - in every direction, and the clean air and peace. Even if you feel lazy, there are 3 great restaurants within a safe 10 minute walk down the road for a great meal. There are art galleries and O for Olive and Lazy Lizard's croissants on a Sunday, and If you allow yourself a few days away, life is so much better here
