Birkenhead House - Hermanus, Walker Bay

Set on a Hermanus cliff overlooking Walker Bay,this contemporary, quirky hotel offers a seriously laid back holiday. Views of the ocean and the Kleinrivier mountains are stunning. Lounge in the infinity pool overlooking Walker Bay and watch whales migrate in the Atlantic Ocean below.

The hotel mixes a classic beach house ambience with eclectic artwork and furnishings. The pace of life here is utterly laid back with friendly service, leisurely meals and all-around luxury.
The rooms offer unrivalled modern comfort. The pale soft colours inspire tranquillity, while the bold colours of the art provide a touch of vibrant personality. Enjoy stunning views of Walker Bay or the Kleinrivier mountain range, admire the zebra-print fabrics, shell-framed mirrors and silk love couches.

The award-winning cuisine is as fabulous as the décor. Dine in the glass-fronted restaurant or in your suite, and enjoy breakfast on the terrace.

Between May and December spotting a whale is almost guaranteed, while stunning beaches, coastal walks, diving, boat-charters, horse-riding and penguin spotting are all available close by. For a more leisurely day, indulge in the sumptuous spa.
