Birkenhead House
The regal Birkenhead House is perched on the cliffs of Hermanus, overlooking the whale watchers' paradise of Walker Bay. It accommodates guests in the utmost luxury and is the most exclusive hotel in Hermanus. That said relaxation is the order of the day with an easy going atmosphere where you can breakfast at noon, take tea on your balcony, then watch the ocean at dusk over a cocktail or two. Dinners are leisurely, staffs are friendly and knowledgeable.
The property is comprised of a front, middle and back house and offers 11 different suites. The suites are equipped with air conditioning, WiFi connection, digital TV, DVD player, and complimentary minibar.
The Birkenhead House spa is designed to relax the senses with various treatments available. A fully equipped gym and swimming pool are also on offer to guests. Just a few steps away from the hotel and overlooked by the terrace is Voëlklip beach and Kamma Bay, two of Hermanus' finest beaches.
