Serene Serendipity

Louise and Don were very warm and welcoming. The accommodation is absolutely wonderful, beautifully maintained and styled. Situated in a picturesque setting overlooking pastures, you can't help but relax on the warm, cosy verandah. The dogs had a great time playing in the garden and paddling in the river. We would highly recommend Serendipity on Allyn to anyone and hope to return when we are next in the area. The breakfast was yum too.

Relaxing getaway thoroughly enjoyed

The breakfast was lovely, the view at riverside looking out to the cows in the meadow was serene while relaxing on the patio. Little-to-no reception was just what I was hoping for & it was nice to disconnect. It was wonderfully relaxing & look forward to going back.

We will be back! Wonderful weekend stay, so relaxing. Thank you.

We were met on arrival by Lou, one of the lovely owners, and shown around the property. Lou gave us a great run down on the facilities available and the local area. She made us, and our puppy, feel very welcomed. Breakfast supplied was more than ample.

A tranquil & charming stay equipped with everything you need to reset & relax.

Beautiful location right on the river and close to Dungog and Barrington Tops. Don & Louise were very welcoming & friendly, they even made us a sweet treat to enjoy. Rio our Great Dane x had the best time exploring the river and lazing about on the verandah.

Perfect country getaway

Serendipity on Allyn is absolutely gorgeous, and the room was very private and quiet. The garden is beautiful, the perfect place to relax and read. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud, a full 10 hours of uninterrupted sleep! Everything about my stay was perfect and I can't wait to visit again.

Absolutley loved it and will definitely go back

We loved the tranquility, as we were the only guests and could sit outside anywhere we liked and had our breakfast down by the river. The room was fabulous, very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked.
