A privately owned, world-class, luxurious boutique hotel, Birkenhead House has an exhilarating cliff-top position overlooking the rugged and scenic Walker Bay in Hermanus.

This small hotel exudes opulence, personalised service and exceptional hospitality. Accommodating 22 guests in absolute luxury, the 11 suites are set in three tiers (front, middle and back house), each with incredible vistas of either Walker Bay or the Kleinriver Mountain range. Make sure to book as early as possible to avoid disappointment.

Why we like Birkenhead House

Birkenhead House offers an immersive seaside setting like no other; it is the perfect location for land-based whale watching (seasonal from June to November). The cliff path offers a stunning walk along the coastline and nearby Gansbaai is the home to Great White Shark Cage Diving.

Activities

  • Whale watching
  • Hemel-en-Aarde wine tasting
  • Sea kayaking
  • Fernkloof Nature Reserve
  • Mussel picking and cooking class
  • Cliff walks

Sustainability

Birkenhead house is committed to protecting the coastline on which it is found and are members of the Dyer Island Conservation Trust. All rates include a conservation and community levy which goes directly towards uplifting local communities, promoting conservation and protecting the environment. Through this support, Birkenhead House has sponsored the rehabilitation and release of over 30 penguins.
