We recently spent a couple of nights at Birkenhead House in Hermanus, SA. The Hotel is locate in a residential area in this beach town, but it is right on a cliff overlooking a beach and the ocean. The rooms were extremely nice with ocean views. The staff was very attentive an helpful arranging cliff side walks and local activities.... More

The white-crested waves roll in, crashing on rocky outcrops and running up beaches above which terns and gulls are gliding and diving. To the right Hermanus occupies the far headland and the coast disappears into hidden bays to the left. Perched on a cliff, the views from BH are stunning and it is the sound of these rollers that take... More

This was truly a night to remember. Nothing is too much trouble, everything must be perfect. I felt like a King while I was staying here. Nothing could have been better.

An amazing location, great attention to detail, fabulous food & incredible service. We've stayed in nice places & this has to be the best I've ever been to. I'd book another trip to South Africa simply to stay here again.

The fact that all the food, laundry and minibar,was all included seemed amazing and just added to our enjoyment of the place. Will go back , hopefully next year.

The rooms are large and exceptionally well appointed and the views are spectacular. What sets this property apart, however, is the outstanding service from all staff members. From the... More
