Serendipity Guest House & Restaurant – Origin

The Serendipity Guest House & Restaurant is owned by Mr. and Mrs. Kypers, who had set themselves the goal of designing a luxury accommodation with a private residence in Wilderness. The challenge was to build a house in an ecologically sensitive area adjacent to a tidal lagoon with a basement, partly below the water level, which would simultaneously meet the highest ecological standards. The building was completed in 1999, and the result is impressive. The Serendipity Guest House & Restaurant blends harmoniously into the landscape and offers the guest a wonderful, stylish ambiance on the River Touw.

The Serendipity Guest House

The rooms are on the 1st floor of the house and are luxuriously furnished. Guests can stay in single or king-size beds in air-conditioned bedrooms with underfloor heating and ceiling fans and views of the lagoon. The rooms are also equipped with a safe, multinational socket and flat-screen TV. A free Wi-Fi completes the offer. Guests can relax on a large terrace overlooking the lagoon or in the cozy and stylish library on the ground floor. Free canoes are also available. The house is secured, and underground parking is available.

The Serendipity Restaurant

The daughter Lizelle, with her husband Rudolf Werner Stolze, who can look back on ancestors from Gera, has created a top-class Serendipity culinary gem on the ground floor of the Serendipity Guest House & Restaurant.

Lizelle Stolze has been awarded numerous prizes and qualifications.  For example, she is a member of the South African Chefs Association and Honoraire Culinaire of the Chaine des Rotisseurs. The Serendipity Guest House & Restaurant stands for outstanding cuisine paired with friendly and professional service and beautiful wines in an elegant but relaxed ambiance, starting before dinner.

Rudolf Stolze introduces his guests to the menu on the terrace and advises them on the choice of menu options. Already here, you can see how much passion and passion Rudolf and Lizelle have put into the selection and composition of the menu.

We decided on ostrich meatballs, consomeé, springbok, and fresh tuna with the appropriate wine accompaniment and were not disappointed. Lizelle and Rudolf inspire their guests with great flavors and excellent preparation. A pleasure for the palate. The price/performance ratio is magnificent. A menu with wine accompaniment costs between 60 – 70 Euro per person.
