Located at the foot of the mountain with sweeping views of Walker Bay, Selkirk House offers the excitement of cutting-edge technology together with the homely comfort of a well-designed custom-built guesthouse. Close by is the 27-hole golf course, while Arabella is a mere 20 minutes drive away
The décor is unfussy and modern, with white American blinds ensuring cool privacy. The ground-floor lounge opens onto the Karoo stone barbeque area and splash pool with tumbling water feature on one side and a terrace overlooking the golf course and the ocean on the other. The top-floor bar lounge, equipped with a 60 plasma TV with all DSTV channels, has its own sea-view terrace while also giving access to a rooftop deck where 360° views of mountain and sea can be enjoyed.
Guests can use the internet facilities in the library or relax on its mountain-view terrace, where a water feature conveys a sense of peace and tranquility. The temperature-controlled walk-in wine cellar is stocked with the finest wines from local estates.
All the luxury suites have extra-length king size or twin beds with fine percale bed linen and super soft allergy-free duvets. Each fully automated room is equipped with a bar fridge, tea & coffee tray, flat screen TV, international adapter, mini safe, hairdryer & WiFi internet. The bathrooms have a bath, shower, twin washbasins, heated towel rails, cotton gowns and Keet & Monks toiletries.
The village center with its many boutiques, bookshops, coffee shops, restaurants, markets, art galleries and museums is a 5-minute drive away.
Hermanus is one of the worlds top land-based whale watching destinations. The Southern Right whales visit our shores between the months of July and December.
