The executive lounge with the fireplace was fantastic. We plan only to stay for 1 night but stayed for 2 nights.The breakfast was absolutely delicious. Celia was the perfect hostess very friendly and helpful

Amazing accommodation and very warm friendly staff.

10.0

House was amazing - a home from home -very welcoming and warm. The staff Celia and Faith were incredible - so friendly and accommodating. The best breakfast I have had in a very long time - such a choice of lovely food to eat. We will definitely book again instead of going to a hotel in Hermanus. Loved every minute of staying at Selkirk House albeit very short. Thank you

Loved everthing - no complaints

In one word: superb!

10.0

In one word: superb! Beautiful interiors, high end home automation topped off with great service. Both our room and bathroom were very spacy but on top of that there were two more lounges we could use as well as a large balcony next to our private one.

All I can think of: lack of a luggage elevator maybe?

Super friendly - they were so helpful with recommendations for the area, the accommodation was great with amazing views over the sea. We were traveling for Honeymoon and they left us a lovely bottle of wine on checkin to celebrate. Overall incredibly personal and welcoming experience.
