Birkenhead House detail

Under two hours from Cape Town, Birkenhead House offers both the drama of the world's best land-based whale watching and the luxury of an exquisite seaside hotel. Its location in Hermanus on the cliffs that overlook the beaches of Walker Bay makes Birkenhead House the ideal base from which to explore this scenic area. There are plenty of activities to keep you busy during your stay. Hermanus offers access to golf courses, horseback excursions, fishing, bird watching, and hikes along the coast or the fynbos-covered mountains. The pièce de résistance of the area is of course whale watching, which runs from July to November, peaking in September, and with a selection of award-winning beaches right on your doorstep, you can enjoy as much time on the beach as your heart desires.

Facilities

Birkenhead House is surrounded by rolling lawns that are ideal for picnics and lazy afternoons. You can enjoy sundowner drinks from the terrace overlooking several beautiful beaches or laze in the clear swimming pool while savoring the unspoiled views. There are two treatment rooms and a comprehensive spa menu featuring massage, aromatherapy, and reflexology treatments to choose from. For those keen to have a more vigorous workout, the hotel also offers a fully equipped gym.

Dining

Birkenhead House offers world-class cuisine and you can look forward to delicious dishes prepared by the in-house gourmet chef. The food is a subtle mixture of modern African Cuisine, fresh Cape seafood, and traditional French techniques with strong Asian and Italian influences, and is served overlooking the ocean, next to the dual-level pool, in the hotel's glass-fronted dining area or the privacy of your suite. Menus and meals can be designed to meet guests’ palates and requirements.
