With its unbeatable cliff-top position overlooking the famous whale watching paradise of Walker Bay, Birkenhead House offers the perfect luxury Hermanus hotel accommodation for those seeking an unforgettable seaside experience. From its extraordinary viewpoint, observe surfers cutting through the waves, and for several months each year, witness Southern Right Whales breaching just metres from the shore. Incredibly, what lies within Birkenhead House is as breath-taking as what lies beyond. The hotel’s contemporary decor is an artful mix of classic beach house style and quirky luxury. What’s more, the furnishing and artwork is eclectic and arresting. While Birkenhead House is Hermanus luxury accommodation at its finest, the hotel is characterised by a laid back and easy-going atmosphere. Following a relaxed breakfast at noon, have afternoon tea on your balcony, then gaze over the ocean at sunset over a cocktail or two. Dinners are leisurely, staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the pace is comfortable. Alternatively, cool down in the infinity pool, which runs down the centre of Birkenhead House and looks out towards the sea.
