Personal Impression
An outstanding property. It is very difficult to describe the
combination of luxury, warmth and romance that the Birkenhead House
conveys. The setting is idyllic and right on the ocean with
amazing views. The rooms are all unique, beautifully decorated
with great bathrooms. This is a property you will always remember.

Location
Birkenhead House is situated in Hermanus and is approximately
120km (75 miles) from Cape Town. Easily accessible by car from Cape
Town, either by freeway or a scenic road. The hotel is
positioned right on the cliff overlooking the beach and ocean. This
is a prime whale spotting area and you can sit on the patio of the
hotel to view the whales.
Accommodations
The rooms all have completely different styles and layouts. Each
has its charm, so it is hard to determine one room better than
another. The prime rooms are on the front of the house
with a clear view overlooking the ocean. All rooms have an ocean
view except for room number 11 and that has a mountain view. Rooms
1, 5, 6, 8 are the most expensive with 2, 3, 7, 9 being the next level.
Rooms 4, 10 and 11 are the least expensive. No matter where you are
accommodated, you will be delighted with your room. All rooms include
all meals, local beverages and laundry.
