A true taste of South African seaside living for people seeking a slice of ultimate luxury.
A 90 minute drive from Cape Town in the seaside town of Hermanus.
Classic, charming and sophisticated. Birkenhead House has 11 individually decorated rooms and suites have some seriously spectacular views across Walker Bay and the towering Overberg Mountains behind.
Birkenhead House offers a host of culinary creations with a delicate mix of modern Africa cuisine with strong Asian and Italian influences. For those looking to truly while away the stresses and strains, head for the ‘Lavender’ and ‘Cinnamon’ rooms to indulge in a medley of relaxing massage, aromatherapy and reflexology treatments.
Hermanus is the whale watching capital of South Africa and a stay at Birkenhead House (between the months of June and November) means you’ll have these incredible creatures right on your door step. Voyage around Dyer Island, kayak along the coast or for a pulse raising adventure, head under the ocean (in a cage, of course) to come face to face with one of nature's most feared predators in an exhilarating shark dive.
Sitting adjacent to Birkenhead House is the beautifully designed Birkenhead Villa. Perfect for people looking for everything the house has to offer, but with a stylish, contemporary design twist. The Villa also allows children to stay and can accommodate both groups and travelling families.
