Selborne Hotel, Spa & Golf Estate - Pennington, Kwazulu Natal
 

The Selborne Hotel, Spa & Golf Estate welcomes you to a very special lifestyle where all the cosmopolitan comforts and high standards of a refined and exclusive estate are only surpassed by the tranquil subtropical surroundings.

This sub-tropical retreat on the edge of the warm Indian Ocean is only 30 minutes south of Durban International Airport. A temperate climate and lush country setting ensure exceptional leisure.

Selborne is also famous for its large stately manor house and beautiful subtropical gardens that stretch to a private beach club that is only a few sandy footsteps to the beach. Woven around the natural rock and verdant indigenous coastal forest, the estate itself is home to duiker, mongoose, bushbuck and over 160 bird species and offers unequalled natural beauty and tranquillity.

Take up the challenge of one of the most spectacular golf courses in southern Africa . Wild coastal forest frames a superbly manicured course where the only disturbance may be one of nature’s many creatures. Numerous water features demand accuracy but with the reward of breathtaking beauty at every turn.

  Location:

Selborne is just south of Durban in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Within an hour of landing at Durban International Airport, guests can be teeing off on the championship golf course.
  Accommodation  

Stirred by the dawn, the forest beckons you to wake after a night securely cocooned in luxury. The choice is yours… the stately Presidential Suite, a luxury Garden or Golf Course Suite, a standard luxury Suite or a privately owned, fully equipped self-catering Villa. At Selborne, discreet but attentive staff will create “home from home” in Africa, pampering you with the personal service one can only get from a family run hotel.

FAMILY SUITE
The family suites are very much the same as the luxury rooms but have inter leading doors.

  Spa
There can be few locations more tranquil and therapeutic for a health and beauty spa. Managed by a professional team of dedicated and highly trained individuals, they define the ultimate spa experience by creating a haven to rest, relax and revitalize. Indulge yourself, perhaps with your partner, to a treatment in the double therapy suite.

  Dining

A variety of gourmet options awaits you, with fine dining in the elegant restaurant seducing with a fusion of flavors and fine wines, or casual al fresco lunches amidst the ambiance and beauty of surrounding gardens and trees. While savoring pizza in the coffee bar or on the terrace, a loerie may serenade from the forests as a duiker passes silently by.

The region of KwaZulu-Natal abounds with a rich variety of ingredients that will satisfy the most demanding chef and gourmet. Local fresh fish is available daily (as long as the sea is kind to fishermen – which it usually is), some of the country’s finest cured meats and cheeses originate from the midlands nearby and the diversity of cultures ensures that virtually every spice and herb is available.

Wines from South Africa’s established estates and from some of the new boutique wineries fill our cellar to complement the fine menu.

The renowned a’ la carte menu at the Selborne Hotel has taken a slight face lift with the inclusion of some eccentric yet exquisite culinary delights.

  Conferences

The company in search of an exclusive, professional conference venue need look no further. Selborne offers much more than a quality, stand-alone, fully equipped centre – what sets it apart is the sense of security and the quiet, gracious hospitality that allows delegates to focus.
