“Our recent trip pretty much epitomises why I am such a Royal Portfolio (which Birkenhead is part) fan. One is always slightly hesitant to follow up a great experience, in this case for us two years ago, but yup The Birkenhead Family nailed it again.”

“The standard remains first class. Food and drink was sumptuous especially the evening cocktails whilst watching the sunset.”

Two nights at Birkenhead House is as close to heaven as I want to get for a while. Treat yourself!

“Once you step in, you just feel as part of the family travelling in from overseas, rather than a hotel guest. The most memorable experience was the mussel picking with the executive chef. We picked fresh mussels from the rock just outside the hotel. And these mussels were cooked by the chef – one of the best mussels we’ve ever tasted. The chef also personalized our lunch menu by granting our request for lobsters. Like the mussels, the lobster was cooked to perfection accompanied by a tasty pesto sauce. Thank you to the staff of Birkenhead House who made us want to come back here for another holiday. Just longer the next time round.”

“One of our favourite places on earth. This was our third visit to Birkenhead House and it’s just as wonderful as ever. The staff, most of whom were here on previous visits, are charming and nothing is too much trouble.”

“I have stayed in very few hotels with such extraordinary standards of service. The setting is incredible, the weather is sublime, and the food is fantastic.”

“Perfection on the surf. This small intimate hotel is the perfect place from which to watch the whales and enjoy the elegant surroundings as you view the raging seas. The staff is warm, friendly, attentive and always available. The food, perfectly prepared, locally sourced and utterly delicious – don’t miss the croissants for breakfast. The wine selection is some of the best South Africa has to offer, poured generously. I fully intend to return in the future to enjoy this charming hospitality once again.”

“From the moment you arrive, you feel like you are being welcomed to a beautiful home. The setting is dramatic on cliffs overlooking the water outside of Hermanus. The hotel and rooms are beautiful, the food was fantastic and the staff couldn’t have been nicer. I think my husband and I would both agree that this was one of the nicest places we have ever stayed and we have traveled all over the world. It just doesn’t get much better!”

“We have been lucky enough to stay in many prestigious properties all over the world. Birkenhead House is in a class of its own, we haven’t stayed anywhere quite so special as this. It is in a category of its own, a small and very luxurious hotel. There is no check in, you can go straight to your room, and you can eat pretty much when you want to. From the beginning of our stay until the end, the levels of service were extraordinary, it was all so enjoyable. Everything is included and nothing is too much trouble. It feels a bit like staying with friends in a beautiful beach house! Just outside are the miles of cliff path from which we spotted whales and dolphins. The menu changes daily, and everything we ate was delicious and well presented by charming staff.”
