Birkenhead House

Situated on the cliffs in the Western Cape, Birkenhead House offers guests stunning views of the surrounding Walker Bay, known as a whale-watcher's paradise.

Accommodation at the hotel is of the finest luxury, with studio suites offering guests a choice of mountain views (the Overberg Mountains), or cliffside views of the bay. Either way, your stay will be opulent to say the least.

Dining at Birkenhead is, like a lot of places in the Cape, an absolute pleasure. Their kitchen uses locally sourced ingredients, fused with the techniques of French and Asian haute cuisine, to create a unique menu that can be enjoyed in a variety of settings and caters to a plethora of tastes.

Activities are a key reason to visit Birkenhead, as opposed to the other luxury hotels nearer Cape Town. Whale watching is the premier activity, with trips to nearby Dyer Island on offer. The concierge can also arrange a range of water-based activities, including cage-diving for sharks.

On land, the region is a stunning location for cycling and walks, and home to a number of outstanding golf courses. Wine is also a big feature in the Cape region, and trips to wineries can be arranged. Yoga lessons are also available.
