Selkirk House

About

Selkirk House is an architectural gem that was designed and custom-built with luxury, comfort and tranquillity in mind. Powered by a state-of-the-art hybrid solar-powered system, great care has been taken to embrace an eco-friendly future.   

The elegant and spacious lower lounge has a fireplace for cosy winter evenings. The room leads onto the pool deck with its Karoo stone barbeque area. On the ocean side of the deck, a set of sliding doors leads to a covered terrace where guests can relax and enjoy the views.

The upper lounge has a large plasma screen TV, perfect for sports enthusiasts and there is a bar stocked with all your favourites. There are cocktail tables and chairs as well as comfortable loungers on the sea-view terrace. From the bar lounge, a set of stairs leads to the rooftop deck that has panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean.

On the mountainside of the house, there is a library with a computer that is equipped with all basic programmes as well as internet access. The gently cascading waterfalls on the library patio make it a peaceful place to relax with a book or magazine from the personal selection on the Selkirk House bookshelves.

Reviews

“We had a delightful experience at Selkirk House. The managers never missed a detail, from the great comforters on the bed to the complimentary toiletries and the splendid breakfast. They were knowledgeable about the area which really helped us a lot. The accommodation is definitely 5-star.” Dena, Houston

“I was only at Selkirk for one night on business and wish it could've been longer. My room was big and extremely comfortable, the whole place smelt nice, and I had extras in my room that included chocolates, tea, coffee and everything else I could need to make my stay comfortable! Definitely exceeded my expectations. I would go back in a heartbeat.” Stephanie V, Cape Town

“This was our first stay in South Africa with a homecoming feeling. The lovely staff were always there to help you or give you service in a good family way. Our room was calm and the bed so comfortable that we almost overslept. The daily breakfast was delicious and included a bowl of exotic cut and sliced fresh fruit followed by eggs made just as we liked them.” Birgit, Sweden

“We were warmly welcomed in a homely environment and every detail was thought of. Great breakfast and great advice about the area in general including restaurant recommendations and bookings. Well stocked honesty bar, huge TV and all the amenities you could want.” Barbara G, United Kingdom

“An easy recommendation. It is like walking into a luxury show home. Everything 5-star including hospitality. The staff exceeded themselves and took care of our dinner and whale watching reservations. Breakfast was a treat and the famous bathrooms lived up to our expectations. We will definitely visit again on our next trip.” Navigator, South Africa
