From its stunning clifftop position in the town of Hermanus, Birkenhead House enjoys exhilarating ocean views and close proximity to the beach. A relaxed beach house style is mixed with contemporary artwork and antique furnishings to create an elegant and inviting environment. Eleven suites with either sea or mountain views offer the height of comfort and luxury: balconies, underfloor heating and huge bathtubs allow guests to make the most of their stay, whatever the weather.

The spa, pool and gym offer the chance for indulgence, relaxation or exercise and cliff and beach walks are an invigorating way to enjoy the great outdoors and numerous sporting and leisure activities are available in the area. Whale watching, for which Hermanus is famed, can be done from the hotel from June to November, with September being the height of the season. After a sundowner overlooking the ocean, the freshest seafood and delicious international cuisine can be enjoyed in a stunning seaside setting.
