Located high on the Hermanus cliffs, Birkenhead House and the adjacent deluxe Villa overlook the whale watching paradise of Walker Bay.

Birkenhead House and the Villa are adjacent to each other and the stylish suites offer expansive views of Walker Bay or the Overberg mountains. Delicious meals and seafood delicacies are served at Birkenhead House in a choice of settings: the patio overlooking the ocean; the courtyard next to the dual level pool; the glass fronted dining area; or simply enjoy your meal in the privacy of your suite.

Nature lovers can lose themselves in the beauty of the mountain trails and walks, study indigenous birdlife, or experience the adventure of deep-sea fishing.

Guests can also venture out on tours to Stanford, local wine farms and townships, or 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, as well as quad biking, sea kayaking and scuba diving.
