SELBORNE HOTEL, SPA & gOLF ESTATE
If your idea of a dream golfing getaway is to stay at a
luxury hotel enjoying superb food and individualised
hospitality centred around a picturesque and challenging
golf course, then Selborne will fulfil your dream in every
way. Indeed, Selborne has established an international
reputation and is now regarded as one of South Africa’s
most sought-after golfing venues.
The Selborne experience is shared with resident bush
buck, grey duiker and the rare blue duiker. Monkeys and
a myriad of birds take advantage of the natural habitat of
lush foliage, indigenous trees and stately palms that add
an aura of grandeur to this well preserved and cared for
environment.
Close to Durban on the warm Indian Ocean, a stately
manor house surrounded by indigenous coastal forest is
the tranquil setting of this luxury golf estate, hotel and
spa. Selborne Hotel offers 49 plush rooms with all the
amenities you could wish for, and the great conference
centre away from the main hotel is perfect for conferences
and weddings. It even boasts its own chapel.
Selborne was created in 1985, when Denis Barker
was inspired to turn his dairy stud farm into the first golf
estate in South Africa. Today, this sprawling Victorian
architectural statement is the centrepiece of the retreat.
Developed around the natural rock and contours and
verdant indigenous coastal forest – home to duiker,
mongoose, bushbuck and over 160 bird species – Selborne
offers unequalled natural beauty and tranquillity.
The golf course is a superb masterpiece affording
golfers breathtaking scenery as they play their way through
manicured fairways and coastal forest.
Selborne is enhanced further by being situated on
South Africa’s ‘golf Coast’, within an hour’s drive of 11
more of Golf Digest’s top 100 courses.
Selborne is the recipient of the Complete golfer’s
five-star golf Experience Award, which is judged on the
basis of service excellence, top-class clubhouse facilities,
golf-course conditioning, and last but not least, overall,
lingering experience.
Then there is the Selborne Spa, which offers both
guests and day visitors the opportunity to recuperate
in an atmosphere that quickly eases away everyday
anxieties. Managed by a team of dedicated, highly trained
professionals, this is a haven in which to rest, relax and
revitalise. Indulge yourself, perhaps with your partner, by
enjoying your treatment in the double therapy suite. •
