I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Selkirk House. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that made us feel right at home. The accommodation itself was not only impeccably clean but also beautifully decorated, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Each morning, I was gently awakened by the soothing sounds of birdsong, which added to the peaceful ambiance. The attention to detail in every corner of the house was impressive, and the stunning surroundings only enhanced the experience. The hosts went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, providing helpful local tips and making us feel like part of their family. This has been the best accommodation we’ve experienced in South Africa, and I can't recommend it highly enough. If you're looking for a perfect getaway with lovely people and a serene environment, Selkirk House is the place to be!

Fabulous venue with great sea and mountain views. Celia is the perfect host and so evervesant in her approach to each day, giving great guidance and recommendations for the area and other parts of SA. We felt as if we were her family rather than paying guests. The extensive rooms and facilities are above and beyond expectations. Breakfast was 10/10 , so much choice and quality, we can't wait to return.

Couldn't find fault!!!! ( and we are very hard to please !)

Celia was very responsive and had everything we needed when we arrived. She was helpful, warm and welcoming but completely unintrusive. The property is warm and comfortable with a lovely energy and very well decorated We loved that there were many different areas available for guests to relax, both inside and outside The honesty bar is a winner and the liberal availability of the facilities was appreciated The rooms are different, but all are extremely comfortable and well equipped. Shower pressure is perfect!

Nothing!

The accomodation was sensational. Celia and her team run a great operation and pay attention to detail. Nothing was too much trouble and we found the experience perfect. The rooms were well thought out and none adjoined another, having a lounge/library inbetween, that eradicates any potential noise. Celia was a warm, knowledgeable, personable and professional host. I would return here without hesitation if in the area again. Nigel & Lynn - Wraysbury.

We could not find anything that we did not like.

Nothing. Everything was just perfect.

Selkirk House is located in a quiet neighborhood yet close to all shops, dining and tourist attractions of Hermanus. The property is very well presented with very spacious and well appointed rooms and shared spaces. Hosts are welcoming and extremely accommodating with late arrivals and food preferences. I will certainly return and recommend highly to people visiting Hermanus and looking for a luxurious home from home experience.

There really is nothing not to like about this property.

Large room with luxurious bathroom, double showers AND a separate bath. Really beautiful. All amenities you would need, coffee/tea, fridge etc. Beautiful decorated and spacious extra (shared) livingroom and several outdoor patios. Did not use the pool, since it was too cold outside. But then, the people: Celia and Leonore, so friendly, so nice and helpful. And the breakfast… Fruit, salmon, avo, yoghurt, English…you name it. A solid 10

Can’t think of anything. You do need a car, to drive down to the beachfront. Or Uber

Celia is a wonderful host who'll make you feel like you are family, "coming home" to Selkirk House. We love returning for both business and leisure purposes. The rooms are spacious, modern, and elegantly appointed. The common areas are welcoming with a lovely fireplace for the colder months and a plunge pool anytime you feel brave enough. The attention to detail and the spectacular breakfasts are truly commendable.

There isn't a single thing that is not to like about this property. Excellent value for money, you will not be disappointed.

A true 5 Star Hotel. Everything you would expect from a World Class 5Star Hotel. Large, extremely comfortable rooms with excellent Linens and Bedding. Great, large shower, with plenty ofHot water. Excellent Wi-Fi. An unbelievable fresh Breakfast. Smoke Trout, Parisian Quality Pastries. Homemade Jams and Jellies. Spacious Living Area. Stunning Hot Spa Area with fireplace. And to top it all off. The BESt Hostess. Celia. I travel over 180 days a year worldwide and this is in my top ten. Way up there. Oh, by the way Hermanus is a extremely worthwhile stop. Sophisticated and great sights and adventures.

The light switches

The location. Green hill backdrop to this smart designer stone and clean lined surfaces set in a quiet road with equally smart houses. Good parking at the property. Bedrooms and bathrooms are very spacious some with their own outdoor space. All have air con and fitted wooden shutters. Roomy fridges kettle and coffee machine are standard. Breakfast is copious and cooked to your request and of course a cold buffet is also laid out in the bright breakfast room leading out to the pool and terrace. We took two rooms with King size beds. Both were different in layout but equally comfortable. The star of this property is the host Celia for whom nothing is too much trouble. A naturally kind an talented lady. We two friends spent 8 nights here at Selkirk House. We know Hermanus well and we agreed this is the best we’ve stayed in.

We didn’t like leaving !! 😎
