Perched on a cliff overlooking the whale watcher's paradise of Walker Bay, Birkenhead House is an opulent and strikingly designed boutique hotel just an hour and a half's drive from Cape Town and a 30 minute coastal walk from the town of Hermanus. Named after a British troop ship that sank in the bay in 1852, Birkenhead House has just 11 suites, some of which offer huge panoramic views of Walker Bay in whose sheltered waters majestic Southern Right Whales calve every year. A stylish mix of neutral modern colour schemes, antique furniture and every luxury imaginable, the décor hits just the right balance between regal grandeur and supreme comfort.
Lovely beaches, mountain trails and cliff top walks are all on the doorstep; the cuisine at this glamorous ocean view hotel will ensure that those returning from a days exploring will be more than rewarded. For sybarites, the spa offers a wide range of aromatherapy, massage and reflexology treatments together with a two-tier swimming pool and gym providing guests with every opportunity to be pampered.
Birkenhead House has a sister property called Birkenhead Villa, a superb six-bedroom villa located just next door, it reflects the same levels of luxury, service and attention to detail as Birkenhead House, but has an ambience of its very own.
