Save to favouritesPrintMailBirkenhead HouseAt the eastern end of Hermanus, a rocky promontory pushes out between 2 sandy coves into the deep waters of Walker Bay. Birkenhead House straddles this extraordinary viewing point, dropping down on several levels towards a dining terrace and an infinity pool whose water seems to merge with that of the ocean beyond. Seagulls drift by, surfers cut through the breakers, and for several months every year southern right whales breach just yards from the shore. This is a mesmerisingly beautiful part of the Cape. Liz Biden (the decorative savant behind [h:SA056:La Residence]) pulled off an amazing double act by making what's inside as visually spoiling as what lies beyond. A whimsical pick-and-mix of contemporary art, floors of travertine marble, chinoiserie touches, eye-catching chandeliers and Persian rugs create an eclectic mood which is brilliantly boudoir-by-the-sea. Whilst gourmet dining, impeccable service and a sumptuous spa gild the lily of Hermanus' most remarkable boutique hotel.
