Perched high on the cliffs of Hermanus, the truly wonderful Birkenhead House offers a sophisticated 'house party-style' atmosphere, where service is unobtrusive. It also offers a bird’s-eye-view of one of the world's most famous whale-watching bays, which is home to Southern Right Whales from May to December – watch them from the hotel's lovely cliff-edge infinity pool, the terrace and most of its eleven luxurious bedrooms. Nature-lovers will relish the local reserves, clifftop walks and fabulous beaches, while for gourmands, nearby are four amazing vineyards, whose award-winning wines include one of the world's top ten Chardonnays.

Leisure Facilities

Luxury Diving Holidays

NAUI training certification courses are available, ranging from day snorkelling trips to instructor courses. Boat dives, shore entry dives, night dives, deep dives, gear rentals, air fills, underwater photography opportunities, crayfish chartering or boat charters are all available.

Luxury Spa Holidays

Much like the rest of Birkenhead House, the spa treatment area is super stylish. There are just two treatment rooms offering beauty treatments and ocean-side massages overlooking the bay. Treatments are beautifully simple - techniques are inspired by nature and practices from across the globe, while luxury Dermologica products are used to promote health, vitality and wellbeing.

Luxury Beach Holidays

From May to December you may be able to spot the Southern Right Whales in Walker Bay – and there are some wonderful vantage points to do this at Birkenhead House. Alternatively, a half-hour drive east will bring you to Gansbaai, where you can experience a boat-based, guided whale-watching trip, which will also take you out to Dyer Island to see the Cape Fur Seal and African Penguin colonies, passing through ‘Shark Alley’ on the way. If you’re lucky, you might see a Great White Shark, too. Close encounters with Southern Right Whales are virtually guaranteed from July to December. For those who prefer dry land, there are some wonderful coastal walks to enjoy, directly from Birkenhead House (an 8km walk will take you into the centre of Hermanus), while there are also three fabulous beaches within walking distance; two directly below Birkenhead House and the Blue Flag-awarded, Grotto Beach which is a ten-minute walk away along the cliff path. It is possible to horse-ride along the beach, while directly in front of Birkenhead House, it is possible to surf. The area around Birkenhead House is also famed for its terrific, award-winning wines so do visit some of the nearby vineyards to sample them.
