Birkenhead House

Hermanus

On the cliffs just outside Hermanus, this spectacular sea view property, named fter a British ship that sank in Walker Bay in the 19th-century, was recently opened by Liz Biden, owner of La Residence.


In keeping with its maritime namesake, the eight suites are decorated with ship's antiques and most offer ocean vistas (some from the free-standing bath tubs) - perfect for watching the calving Southern Right whales in season and for looking out to sea at all times of the year.


Set amongst the unique flora of the Cape and with direct access to two sandy beaches, yet just a leisurely twenty minutes stroll along a coastal path into the centre of town, this is the ultimate seaside retreat. You can book one of the suites or the whole property, and there is a gym, spa and a two-tier pool if you want to work off some of the fine seafood on offer in the restaurant. Hermanus itself is a haven of activity: walking along the coastal plain, shark diving for the adventurous, tours of local vineyards, horse-riding and golf - to name but a few activities on offer.
