    Homely hotel, breakfast was delightful, stunning location close to the night market. Breakfast with good coffee a nice bonus. Location near to the centre of Hermanus as well as the golf course & nature reserve. Plus, 5 minutes drive from Whale Museum. Great service at the cellar! Excellent internet, parking onsite.

    Our stay at Selkirk House was absolutely delightful. The rooms were beautifully decorated with top-class finishes, and the Egyptian cotton sheets on the bed made for a luxurious night's sleep. The spacious bathroom was a highlight, adorned with quality soaps and shampoos. We were also impressed by the excellent breakfast and the friendly and chatty host, Pieter. Selkirk House truly lived up to its reputation as a luxury guest house. We highly recommend it for a classy and relaxing stay.

    We got great value for our money at Selkirk House. The room was fantastic, with spacious layouts, comfy beds, and luxurious finishes. The location was perfect, nestled in a quiet road with beautiful houses and a stunning green hill backdrop. The staff, especially Celia, were incredibly kind and accommodating, making our 8-night stay memorable.

    the guest house is located in a nice and quiet area near the harbour. the breakfast was delightful with fresh fruits and yoghurt. the staff were friendly and provided us with all amenities needed.

    The air conditioning unit was a bit noisy at times and it disrupted our sleep.

    During my new year's stay, I had a wonderful experience at a stunning boutique hotel located in a quiet suburban area. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, offering luxurious bedding and a variety of amenities such as coffee machines and roomy fridges. The bright breakfast room was my favorite spot with a lovely pool and terrace, where I enjoyed the copious breakfast with the requested dishes. The hotel had a great parking area and was situated close enough to the city center.

    The only downside I noticed during my stay was the location, which required a 30-minute walk to get to the city center. Taxis, however, were readily available and the hotel offered great trip arrangements.

    This hotel exceeded our expectations. the spacious rooms with exclusive amenities were amazing and made our stay luxurious. the staff provided exceptional service, with special diet menus available. We enjoyed the outdoor swimming pool and the sun terrace with its comfortable sun loungers and stunning garden area. The location advantages were also great, as it's close to both Fernkloof Nature Park and Grotto Beach. Cons: We only noticed one minor issue during our stay here. the leisure/TV room could benefit from some updated equipment, but this did not detract from our overall fantastic experience.
