Bridal parties, honeymooners, wedding guests and those looking for group accommodation have all loved their 5-star stay at “Selsdon Park”.

Circa 1920 the timeless art deco and art nouveau design melds with the modern day and harmoniously blends with its verdant surroundings reflecting the ever-changing beauty of the seasons and fostering an organic connection to the outdoors. Age-old gardens frame the home showcasing meandering stone pathways, towering Bunya pine, Chestnuts, Oaks, Cedars, Maples, Rhododendrons and many flowering annuals /perennials synonymous with the region.

Whether you’re here for a lifetime or just a weekend, the lifestyle on offer in your own private paradise is incomparable. Children can “choose their own adventure” exploring the sprawling grounds, enjoy a game of tennis or basketball, take a stroll or a power walk around the magical gardens or just curl up with a book in front of one of two stunning stone fireplaces.

There’s canapes to be had in the formal lounge that spills to a brand-new deck while the kids turn up the volume in the family room or enjoy hosting friends and family with summer barbeques in the outdoor kitchen.
Spread out or come together. It’s a home for solitude as much as celebration.
One thing is for sure, the fun will always be at your place, as nowhere else will compare, with the numerous, expansive alfresco areas which cleverly fringe this inviting home providing the perfect dance floors, or outdoor dining areas.
