Birkenhead House Hermanus

Our View

Room 1 does it for us. There's something surreal about being able to view whales from your bed! But here, it's just one of the natural attractions. Of course, there's loads to do out of whale season, too: scuba, shark diving, quad biking, kayaking, golf... the list goes on. As you've probably guessed, this is the perfect place to get away from it all. It's secluded and feels very 'adult' (in fact, under 12's can't stay in the hotel - but families can book the villa). So pack your binoculars, book Room 1 and keep a look out for those whales…

Hotel Description

Birkenhead House has, without a doubt, one of the best locations; once the beach house of Liz Biden's family, it lies high on a dramatic clifftop, above the rolling surf of the Indian Ocean and the beach below. It has a warm, welcoming and almost house-party atmosphere with a modern architectural design and effortlessly stylish interiors. The guest rooms extend across three different houses that layer down from the road to the ocean and are decorated with various themes. Excellent staff and memorable cuisine are just two of the experiences here, but one thing's for sure, not many hotels can provide you with a private whale performance at breakfast!
