Formerly the site of the Birkenhead Hotel, Birkenhead House is a contemporary, luxury beach house that exudes a laid back feel while providing luxury accommodation and fine cuisine. The house’s eleven double suites are exquisitely furnished and feature magnificent views of either Walker Bay or the nearby Kleinriver mountain range. Each suite offers en-suite bathroom, air-conditioning, digital TV, DVD player, Wi-Fi connection, and a complimentary mini-bar. From zebra-print upholstery and bold original artwork to one-of-a-kind antiques, the eclectic style of each suite surprises and delights guests.

The hotel is located in the charming seaside town of Hermanus. It is the perfect beach house positioned on the edge of a cliff overlooking the beaches and the wide expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. Hermanus is well-known as the best place to view whales in South Africa. But it is also renowned for its artisanal food and its proximity to the Hemel-en-Aarde wine route. Once an old fishing town originally called Hermanuspietersfontein, the name was shortened to for the sake of the postal service. Today, it is a bustling tourist destination full of quaint boutiques, markets, and galleries. The nearby Fernkloof Nature Reserve has 1,100 different plant species that have been collected and identified making it one of the six floral kingdoms of the world.
