Watch surfers carving the waves and, during migration season, witness Southern Right and Humpback whales breaching just metres from the shore.

• The best land-based whale watching in the world.
• A chic and intimate coastal experience in the seaside town of Hermanus.
• Beautifully designed sea-facing rooms in the front house with generous balconies and dazzling ocean views.
Our Thoughts on Birkenhead House
Birkenhead House is perfect for couples of all ages, looking for an exclusive retreat off the coast. The decor is sheer elegance, with the windswept views lighting your imagination. The cuisine is also fabulous. We would not recommend this property for families with younger children.
