Great location, spacious, comfortable, well equipped apartment. We booked a sea view apartment which had the added bonus of whale watching from the balcony. The staff were all wonderful and exceptionally helpful. I wish we’d stayed longer!

Every single aspect of the experience was remarkable. The staff was amazing! They would always go the extra mile to ensure everything we needed was properly taken care of. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and nicely decorated with quality elements paying attention to every detail. The quality and variety of the breakfast options were to the highest standards (buffet for cold dishes and a la carte for hot dishes). The location of the hotel is extremely convenient to avoid having to use the car, everything is within walking distance. On top of everything, the views from the hotel to the ocean and coastline are just spectacular! We'll definitely visit again!

Wonderful & spotless hotel where any guest is truly invited to relax. Gorgeous rooms with panoramic views to the ocean, well equipped from the whirlpool in the rooms, to the little biscuits and chocolats available, to the options to watch Netflix directly setup. The team running the hotel is beyond fantastic - special mention to Dean who has truly made our stay special with his impeccable service, positive attitude & attention to detail (we got our own private dinner on the balcony!). Highly recommended hotel.

Very special place. Like many others in South Africa - specially in Garden Route - the staff was specially careful and nice. It was our honeymoon and they manage to guarantee everything, including a boat ride from Gansbaai. The property is absolutely beautiful, and the city of Hermanus is a very special destination to enjoy.

Let me start this review with a little spoiler: we had originally booked just one night, as a stopover on our road trip along the Garden Route. Well, barely 20 minutes after our arrival — after the tour of our room and the entire hotel, all the way to the terrace with that breathtaking view — we booked an extra night. It was love at first sight with Birkenhead House! What a hotel! How often do you still see that these days, by the way: people taking the time to show you not just your room, but the whole hotel? You can really feel how proud everyone here is — and rightly so! Having all meals and drinks included in the rate is also an incredible asset. And rest assured, no crowded buffets here, but friendly and discreet table service for your meals, as well as in the lounges or out on the terrace for a drink. Top-notch! Oh, and excellent beds too, featuring the best sleep aid in the world: the sound of the ocean! It’s actually that unique blend of the true boutique hotel atmosphere (a term that’s often overused but absolutely fitting here), the in-cre-di-ble location perched on the cliffs with (literally!) views of breaching whales behind the surfers, the intimacy, the delicious food & drinks, the stunning views from almost every spot, and — above all! — the wonderful staff, that make this hotel so exceptional. A huge thank you to the entire team for making our stay at Birkenhead House an absolute highlight of our trip! (...and thank God our room was available for that extra night!) :-)

Our stay was magical, the location is magical! The property is right in front of the socean, we could hear the waves all the time and spot whales from our terrace. It is right on top of this beautiful path you can take along the coast. The property is not affected by loadshedding. As a family with three small children we felt welcomed. The owners are really nice people.

Wonderful B&B. Beautiful location looking over the water. The facilities are lovely, very comfortable bedroom and living areas. The breakfast in the morning is scrumptious. Just wish I was visiting without my kids and for longer so I could settle in a relax, take walk along the waterfront and enjoy the serenity.

One of the most beautiful seaside towns in South Africa, if not the world. The waterfront offers a multitude of excellent restaurant options, and at night has a warm and welcoming ambience. The Sky Bar offers an exciting range of cocktails and has a lovely buzz. The cliff walk is a must-do, offering breathtaking views along the coastline and across Walker Bay.

Stanford is a quaint, peaceful and very beautiful Village.

Stanford is a quaint, peaceful and very beautiful Village. It offers the chance to rekindle your oneness with nature and explore the beauty of the surrounding countryside and Reserves. Stanford offers a unique shopping experience, which seemingly encourages a more relaxed, ambient pastime. We were very privileged to be able to dine at Madre's, an iconic restaurant with food to match, a gastronomic experience in itself. There appears to be annual shows held in the town, those being the Flower Show and the Motor Shows, both of which appear to attract great interest from locals and holidaymakers alike. A beautiful and very special town, with its very own personality and charm.

Bettys Bay is a charming little coastal town.

Bettys Bay is a charming little coastal town. I think its perfect for tourists and locals if you are looking for a laid back breakaway. Its quite easy to get around and find different places of interest. We enjoyed visiting the Stony Point Penguin Colony. We spotted quite a number of birds. There are lovely trails for short hikes on the mountainside. The beach is wonderful with white soft sand. The water is quite cold though.

It is a very peaceful village with a lovely beach. I was there off season which was perfect as coming in summer must be hectic. Met very helpful people from the pharmacy, the small supermarket and the laundry lady. Excellent restaurant - The Cork Eatery! Very nice owner and very good food. Enjoyed a lovely meal. Beach is beautiful but I may have gone to the wrong entrance as a bit of a trek to the sea but well worth it. Big plus - pet friendly area.

As noted the area was quiet loved that we could walk and every one on that drove past us waved, etc. The accommodation was great. I love the bath. I am not sure if something can be done with us hearing each other as we are very close to each other. Walls does separate I think are too thin, it is like you hear when someone is in the bathroom or room. In the lounge area it is not so.
