OVERVIEW ON BIRKENHEAD HOUSE IN HERMANUS
Perched high on the Hermanus cliffs, the regal Birkenhead House and deluxe adjacent Villa, overlook the whale watching paradise of Walker Bay. Accommodating guests in the utmost luxury, this is the perfect destination for those seeking the pinnacle of seaside living. Only an hour and a half from Cape Town, Birkenhead House & Villa are superbly located in unspoilt natural surroundings. The luxury retreats offer everything the discerning sojourner could wish for: from uninterrupted views and diverse activities to the very finest in international cuisine, and richly appointed accommodation enhanced by rich fabrics and antiques.
Why Hermanus:
From late May to December, the Southern Right Whale (Eubalaena australis) graces Walker Bay with its massive presence. August is the height of the birthing season. Many calves, that are literally a couple of hours old, with their very protective mothers, are seen from the wonderful vantage points at Birkenhead House & Villa. These magnificent mammals were threatened by extinction and international protection was granted to the species in 1935.
The Birkenhead House & Villa properties are adjacent to each other on the magnificent seaside cliffs above Hermanus’ most prominent beaches. Sophisticatedly appointed studio suites offer expansive vistas of Walker Bay or the towering Overberg mountains, all augmented by the unrestrained opulence of Birkenhead House’s beautiful furnishings and comforts. Indulge your senses at the Birkenhead House & Villa Spa. With a medley of massage, aromatherapy and reflexology treatments, there’s no more relaxing way to round off a leisurely day. For those looking to stay in great shape, we offer a fully equipped gym.
