A member of the Royal Portfolio, the 5-star Birkenhead House is a luxurious boutique hotel in Hermanus. The staff continuously strive to provide their guests with an unforgettable experience of a truly superior nature. The Birkenhead House received international acclaim from Tatler (UK), Top 101 Hotels of the Year 2006 and from Condé Nast Traveller on their 2003 UK Hotlist and for the USA in 2003, the 80 Best Hotels in the World.

Perched high on the cliffs, no expense has been spared in decorating the house, whose nine suites feature rare maritime antiques, art deco touches and deep sunken marble baths. Exceptional, discreet service only adds to the experience. There’s a gym and dual-level swimming pool, while world-class cuisine is a matter of course for the dining room.
