Rooms extremely spacious, beautifully decorated with everything you could possibly want. Our hostess, Celia, couldn’t have been more helpful or delightful and made us feel very much at home. Delicious breakfasts with excellent choice, all beautifully presented. Lots of little extras that made it very special. This accommodation is exceptional and delighted to have stayed there. We are returning within the week!!

gastvrijheid en hulp waren fantastisch! Kamers en ontbijt prima. Ligt niet in het centrum maar taxi's zijn goedkoop en 'the lady of the house' regels alles voor je!

The accommodation is excellent. The rooms are spacious and of a very high standard. All the comforts of home plus more. Generous public areas to relax in sophisticated luxury. The property is in a quiet upmarket suburb above the town, but with easy access by car to the tourist areas. Celia, the manager is a superstar. She makes all the guests feel special and goes out of her way to make your stay exceptional.
The weather was terrible during our stay, but despite that, the guest house was so good, that we really enjoyed our visit to Hermanus.

4.5 / 5.0
Great location, with spacious, very well appointed & luxurious rooms. Celia & her team were fantastic hosts. We appreciated the underfloor heating in the bathroom & the electric blanket on the bed!
The motion sensor in the bathroom switched on the main lights, apparently for safety reasons. However this is an overkill & made the whole going-to-the-bathroom-in-the-middle-of-the-night experience rather unpleasant.

I personally missed an electric blanket.

Celia's service was exceptional. She is warm and friendly and made us feel at home right away. Breakfast was a treat and absolutely delicious, especially Celia's homemade muesli. Selkirk House made provision for gluten and dairy free products.

The hostess and staff were really friendly and accommodating. Our room had a beautiful view of the mountain with a deck to lie in the sun. The facilities all-round were amazing, with lots of lounging space and a properly stocked honesty bar.

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 !! 😎

Everything! The house blew us away and Celia the host was amazing - so welcoming, friendly, accommodating and helpful! She went out of her way just to be so helpful with arranging things. The room was also massive! We couldn't have asked for more, we just wished we stayed longer
Absolutely nothing!
