Birkenhead House

South Africa

An exclusive coastal retreat, this all-inclusive boutique hotel has just 11 suites and is perched on the cliffs of Hermanus in the Western Cape. Overlooking stunning Walker Bay, guests can relax in style amongst Liz Biden’s signature décor, plus enjoy wonderful wildlife encounters and scenic coastal walks. Famous for whale-watching (Southern Right Whales during May to December) and surfing, guests can relish the brisk morning breeze before indulging in a leisurely breakfast, plus a day of touring. With Gansbaai and four vineyards close by, it’s easy to savour the local culinary delights whilst also seeing Cape Fur Seals, African Penguin colonies and possibly a Great White Shark! The attentive staff, privacy, exquisite dining, spa treatments and world-class pampering make this a perfect Honeymoon stay – or an integral part of any self-drive Garden Route tour.
