LAID-BACK AURA BEACH RETREAT

WHALE WATCHING PARADISE

What makes Birkenhead House truly unique is its ideal location on a clifftop overlooking Walker Bay, Hermanus’ whale-watching hotspot. Every year southern right whales venture into the waters of Walker Bay to calve – an event that attracts thousands of whale watchers annually. At Birkenhead, you have the advantage of front-row seats to this spectacle from the hotel deck.
