South Africa: Birkenhead House in Hermanus

This original bathroom comes from Birkenhead House, a wonderful place situated in Hermanus in South Africa, close to Cape Town.

Here, we have the same extraordinary owners who created and run The Royal Malewane and La Residence.The Royal Malewane, La Residence and Birkenhead House make up “The Royal Portfolio”.  When we book all three for you, we get additional VIP benefits for you!

Perched high on the cliffs of Hermanus and overlooking Walker Bay, Birkenhead House is the perfect destination for those seeking a luxury vacation by the sea. The Hotel is surrounded by rolling lawns (but car parking to one side) which are ideal for picnics, and sundowners can be enjoyed from the terrace which overlooks a number of beautiful beaches. There are plenty of activities to keep you busy during your stay at Birkenhead House. Hermanus offers a wide variety of activities including golf, whale watching, bird watching and nature walks along the scenic coastline or the fynbos covered mountains. A good selection of beaches are on your doorstep and you have the choice of the award winning Nanny’s or Karma Bay Beach, Voelkop which is great for bathing, and Grotto beach which is the largest and longest in Hermanus.

This is an ideal property for a wedding destination.  Birkenhead House caters for weddings up to 50 guests, of which 22 may be accommodated on the property.  With DavidTravel, Birkenhead’s experienced Wedding Planner can coordinate all aspects of your wedding and reception, as well as offering valuable guidance. She and her team pride themselves on ensuring an unforgettable experience for your wedding party.

Birkenhead’ elegant beach-house atmosphere reflects the beauty of its coastal setting with rare antiques, Persian rugs and art. Most of the eleven opulently appointed suites offer expansive vistas of Walker Bay and the distant Overberg Mountains. From the comfort of their residence, guests can look forward to sighting the majestic Southern Right whales that
enter the sheltered waters every year to calve.

Great cuisine, here, is a matter of course. Room service can bring a sumptuous breakfast to the comfort and privacy of your bedroom, or you may enjoy this on the front patio overlooking the expansive Walker Bay. Lavish meals and seafood delicacies are served daily and a selection of menus is available for your special day.

Facilities include a split-level swimming pool in a sheltered courtyard, an infinity pool above the ocean and a gym and treatment rooms, while two of Hermanus’ best swimming beaches, warm with the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, are on your doorstep.  Warning…the pool is not heated.

For spa treatments, the treatment rooms are tranquil havens, where you can discover yourself in a serene environment that encourages relaxation and personal rejuvenation – the key to vibrant health! The Birkenhead House treatment philosophy follows a natural approach to body and skin care, which infuses ancient beauty and health therapies from across the world. The therapists offer an extensive range of massages, body exfoliations, body wraps, holistic treatments and specialised skin care treatments which are complemented by Dermalogica, our product of choice.

Spectacular mountain trails and breathtaking cliff path walks are in easy reach, opening up the Cape’s thriving floral kingdom, the world’s most diverse botanic ecosystem on southern Africa’s very tip. Set amongst the unique flora of the Cape and with direct access to two sandy beaches and spectacular mountain trails, it is just a leisurely forty minutes stroll along a coastal path to the centre of the village.
