Birkenhead House, Hermanus & Surrounds, South Africa, Africa

Birkenhead House, South Africa

This glamorous coastal retreat has all the wow factor you’d expect of a stylish contemporary beach house! Perched on a clifftop in Hermanus, less than a 2 hour drive south-east of Cape Town, this is a place to watch the waves and surfers come in - the surf-loving manager will happily show you the tricks of the wave-trade!

Highlights

Sleep

Perched above the Atlantic and designed with the relaxed spirit of a private coastal home, Birkenhead House offers just eleven individually styled rooms, each with its own sense of character and personality. Eclectic interiors, vibrant details and a laid-back elegance create an atmosphere that feels intimate and effortlessly inviting, rather than formal.

The rooms are arranged around the hotel’s spectacular split-level swimming pool, making this the natural heart of the house and a wonderful place to unwind between swims, meals and days spent exploring the coast. With just eleven rooms, the atmosphere is wonderfully sociable and personal, with guests quickly settling into the easy rhythm of life here.

For the ultimate setting, the two rooms at the front of the house are the first to be booked, thanks to their particularly appealing position and outlook. These coveted rooms offer a front-row perspective of the dramatic coastal surroundings, making them especially sought-after.

Throughout the accommodation, the emphasis is on comfort, individuality and embracing the relaxed character of Birkenhead House. This is a place where guests can kick back, open the doors to the sea air and enjoy the feeling of staying in a stylish private home with the added pleasures of exceptional service, beautiful surroundings and a pool at the heart of it all.

Why Choose Turquoise?

Our Passion Runs Deep

We are - and always have been - mad about travel. For almost 25 years we've been scouring the globe for the best places to stay, the newest routes to take, the perfect people to meet. No-one will care more about your holiday.

Definition of Luxury

Luxury means something different to everyone. Whether you are seeking the silence of vast spaces, the isolation of a private island, the buzz of a new city, the adrenaline of a safari or anything in between, we listen, we learn, we advise.

Fun & Refreshing

We endeavour that every Turquoise experience is unique, fun and refreshing. Travel is all about experiences, about serendipitous moments and endless smiles. It is a joy and an honour to plan each and every Turquoise holiday.
