Posizione eccezionale, stando sul deck principale si possono vedere le balene transitare nell’oceano! Ho avuto la fortuna di ottenere un upgrade che mi ha portata ad occupare una splendida suite con vista sull’oceano e un ampio balcone. Pulizia eccellente ed ottima cucina.

Unbelievable one of a kind experience. Charming atmosphere and I can't stress enough on the outstanding service, so kind and polite. Luxurious service with attention to every little details. Love about this stay is that in includes all beverages and food, which tastes really good. Scenery was so beautiful to complement this stay. All correspondent before arriving was through email, they took care of every request we had. So professional in all aspects. Room service and care was on point, every time we come back we found beds clean, new waters and bed heater bags were applied! They even have adapters ready ( we learned to get our adapters with us before traveling to South Africa ) To be honest I can't describe the magical experience we had, thanks to the team for all the care and hospitality.

La Birkenhead House que es parte del Grupo Royal Portfolio que tiene 4 de los mejores hoteles del país, la Biekenhead House es un hotel encantador de 12 habitaciones, decoradas cada una de manera diferente con antigüedades y muebles de calidad y sabanas y toallas excepcionales.
Lo mejor del hotel es el servicio que además de profesional e impecable es cálido, acogedor y se desviven por el huésped. Son 58 para 12 habitaciones y son fantásticos todos.
La cocina es sabrosa, sana y muy cuidada, las vistas espectaculares.
La llegada al hotel es un poco sorprendente pues la entrada del hotel es muy poco impresionante y la recepción es de bolsillo aunque muy cuca con una pequeña
Boutique con ropa y artesanías de toda Sudáfrica, incluso alguna antigüedad.
En resumen un lugar de ensueño para desconectar y recargar pilas.

We were firstly greeted by the lovely and smiley Nikita. She checked us in and gave us an orientation about the hotel which was helpful. The rooms are absolutely incredible! The views are spectacular. I don’t know the chefs name! But whoever he/she is are INCREDIBLE. The food was delicious. Chris seems to be everywhere and do everything, always with a smile on his face! We love Chris! We want to take him home. He was so helpful. The waiter Athiani was also smiley and helpful! I have never felt so boujee and have never been in a hotel quite this posh. I have 0 complaints but 1 suggestion is that instead of having opening doors, maybe look to having sliding doors instead. The wind can get really bad so the doors can knock which gets noisy.

O local é maravilhoso! Super recomendo! A vista é linda e o amanhecer e entardecer tem vistas incríveis. O atendimento no hotel é exclusivo, os funcionários se esmeram em nos atender da melhor forma. Para se ter uma ideia eu tenho alergia a camarão, e os cardápios das refeições já vinham com a opção de substituição para ela. O funcionário Chris deu ótimas recomendações de passeios em vinícolas e vinhos que tomamos durante as refeições. As instalações do quarto foram ótimas bem como roupa de cama e toalhas.

In my humble opinion: Best hotel in South Africa! Just So Luxurious . The staff are beyond delightful and they predict what you want even before you want it! Wonderful location over the best beach in Hermanus. A little way from the centre but they will drive you in and out. Wonderful walking along Coast Path. Delicious food. Beautiful paintings and furniture everywhere. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

Wow, wow, wow!! What an absolute wonderful stay! We are so in awe of this wonderful hotel. The glory of God rests so heavy here! We couldn’t have chosen a better destination to celebrate our birthdays. The team really went above and beyond! A special thanks to Ntombi from Head office for arranging everything, Shane and Nikita for the wonderful welcome, Sandile and Ms C for the insightful conversations throughout our stay, Bonolo for the incredible laughs at reception and Robyn for the BEST massage ever and let’s not forget Chef Clive for taking care of all our food requests. We cannot wait to be back, paradise and more… Justin & Candice

This is an amazing place to put the finishing touch on an African vacation. The staff from Elliot who greets you on arrival to Corrine and Sandile in the front reception to Arnold, Gift. Chris, Miriam and Atheni and Rita in food Service they a so friendly and ready to serve. I should also mention the team that tales care of the rooms and maintenance team that takes care of every thing else. We also had facials and massages while at Birkenhead House. Zanelle(sp) gave me one of the best sports massages I've ever had. The food is outstanding and the rooms and overall property are stunning. The beach is immaculate and views are amazing. I can't wait to return for another visit all the way from Denver,Colorado USA
