This was our third visit to Birkenhead House, & of course we were looking forward to it. It’s always a bit dangerous going back to somewhere special: staff change, properties get older, things move on? Nope, all as good as it’s ever been. Food & drink & rooms & facilities still fantastic, all assisted by the fantastic beachfront view. Our only complaint was we’d missed the end of Whale Season given the views there are so good, but that’s hard to complain about (unless the owners can sort that next time too?…..)

Birkenhead House is a fantastic property. The location above a gorgeous beach is to die for, and we spent many happy hours around the small plunge pool taking in the views while our kids played safely in the surf below (using complimentary boogie boards from the hotel). Service is outstanding - very friendly and everyone genuinely seeming to want the guests to have the best time. The hotel is "all inclusive" so all drinks and food (and mini bar - stocked with vast amounts of food and drink) are complimentary, and are of very high quality. The rooms are very bright and well appointed, and meticulously cleaned. We were very surprised to find that one of our two rooms had its own pool that was not much smaller than the hotel plunge pool on the terrace! We enjoyed our stay very much, but there were a couple of small niggles. We thought the food was excellent, but one meal was not quite in keeping with the hotel's 5 star rating (the curry we had one was average), and at breakfast one day the staff member's very long hair fell into my plate of fruit as she put it on the table - she noticed, said nothing, and I left the fruit as it had lost its appeal! But, these are minor points and we would return in a heartbeat.

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.

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.

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

The minute you arrive the front of the hotel looks so unassuming. However, once you enter the hotel is stunning. We had a room on the second floor (7) that had a terrace where you can see the ocean and pool area. The decor in the main dining living area is so special and beautiful. It feels like an intimate B&B. It was a little chilly so there was a fire going at night and in the early morning. The food was delicious and they were very accommodating for any special requests. We had massages two days in a row and had to be one of the best massages we have ever had. All of the food and alcohol is included. T op shelf alcohol and great wines. It was a slice of heaven. The ocean was so relaxing. A place of a lifetime.
