A Feeling of Home
Selgars is family run estate that is owned by Anton and Morgane who live onsite in one of the cottages. We don’t think of Selgars as a hotel, but rather our home that we share with colivers and guests.
Something incredible, perhaps even magical, takes place when we decide to gather in nature. We slow down, we open up and we begin to feel more connected and grounded to ourselves and with each other. New emotions, new ideas and new energy for change emerges. This is why we do what we do. Our purpose is create a place that feels like home in nature and in doing so to contribute towards building a more regenerative future for generations to come.
Our estate is small in size, but it is overflowing with big dreams and creative energy. From May until early October we operate as a retreat venue. From early October until the end of April Selgars becomes a coliving community. We can host up to 50 retreat guests and 16 coliving residents.
As much as possible we aim to place imagination & regeneration at the heart of all we do. We have an edible garden on site and seek to source our food from delicious local producers. We also have a sauna and cold dip as well as plenty of yoga mats and gym equipment. Our land is surrounded by water with bridges, woodlands, event fields, multiple fire circles and spaces for reflection such as our bamboo water temple and gazebo hammock. When it comes to hospitality, we believe in simplicity and participation. When something needs to be done, we all do it together. This is what builds community. This is what makes Selgars special. If this is the culture and spirit of the event you wish to host, then please don't hesitate to get in touch.
