Perched high on the Hermanus cliffs, the regal Birkenhead House and deluxe adjacent Villa, overlook the whale watching paradise of Walker Bay. Accommodating guests in the utmost luxury, this is the perfect destination for those seeking the pinnacle of seaside living.

Only an hour and a half from Cape Town, Birkenhead House & Villa are superbly located in unspoilt natural surroundings. The luxury retreats offer everything the discerning sojourner could wish for: from uninterrupted views and diverse activities to the very finest in international cuisine, and richly appointed accommodation enhanced by rich fabrics and antiques.

Enjoy magnificent ocean views from any of the balconies. The main décor feature, a king-size Louis Farouk antique bed, is complemented by an 18th century French gold chair, a yellow silk French antique couch and original artworks. Unwind in the spatial bathrooms with a Victorian bath tub, a walk in shower and 2 vanities. If you choose to stay in, stretch out in front of the Shagreen TV cabinet with digital TV, DVD and mini bar.

Discover why Hermanus is world-renowned as South Africa’s premier whale watching destination when you embark on an unforgettable voyage around Dyer Island. Nature lovers can lose themselves in the beauty of the lush mountain trails and walks, study indigenous birdlife, or experience the adventure of deep-sea fishing.

Inquisitive travelers can venture out on tours to Stanford, local wine farms and townships, while others can relax with a round of golf, yoga or a leisurely bike ride. For those who crave a more adrenalin-filled experience, shark cage diving is available with the legendary Brian McFarlane, as well as quad biking riding, sea kayaking and scuba diving.
