Birkenhead House is perched high on the cliffs of Hermanus, overlooking the whale watchers' paradise of Walker Bay. Only an hour and a half from Cape Town, Birkenhead House is named after a British troop ship that sank in Walker Bay in 1852. Decorated to reflect the beauty of its coastal setting, it is adorned with rare maritime antiques. No expense has been spared in making this the ultimate coastal retreat. Most of the eleven opulently appointed suites offer expansive vistas of Walker Bay. From the comfort of the hotel, guests can look forward to sighting the majestic Southern Right whales that enter the sheltered waters of Walker Bay every year to calve. Other attractions include a gym and treatment centre, and a dual-level swimming pool located in a sheltered courtyard. Not forgetting, of course, Hermanus' two best swimming beaches, which are just a stone's throw away.
Spectacular mountain trails and breathtaking cliff path walks are also in easy reach from Birkenhead House. Guests can explore the thriving floral kingdom, which has a higher diversity of species than anywhere else in the world. At Birkenhead House lavish meals and seafood delicacies are served up daily, and room service will be happy to oblige you with a sumptuous breakfast in bed.
