The exquisite cliffside location of Birkenhead House makes this private hotel, situated in Hermanus  a gem for locals and tourists alike. Situated on the edge of a cliff overlooking two beaches, the laid-back atmosphere of the hotel with its glamorous beach-house style décor is the perfect blend of luxury, sophistication and relaxation. From July to November, the hotel is also a prime viewing location for the frolicking whales in the bay. There are few things more delightful than walking barefoot in the sand, then winding your way back to the hotel to relax on the deck or in the infinity pool while taking in the endless sea view vistas.Read More
