Birkenhead House

This is the second time we have visited Birkenhead house , and this hotel just gets better and better ! The service and the facilities are second to none and the location is fantastic to sit and watch the waves crash against the rocks whilst drinking Gin and Tonics, and watching the sun go down.

a great combination of excellent food, amazing views from the veranda and personal, but relaxed service. Clive the chef made for a wonderful eating experience, very tasty, locally sourced food and wine. I'm not a 'foody' but ate fish most evenings and lapped up the puddings :-). We were full board, which I think is standard and with such a variety of dishes, we never got bored. We stayed here for 6 nights and tried to keep active with walks, swimming, a marine five trip and some eMTB and a wine trip. If this is your thing then I would suggest; - If driving from CT, take the coast road and stop at Pringle for a coffee and a led stretch. - hiking in the Fernkloof (hills behind the hotel) lots of trials, ask the management or look on strava for recommendations. watch out of the baboons, friendly-ish, but don't entice / feed or try and scare them away....just be cool...and they wont hassle you. if they do, call the baboon hotline...yes, there is a baboon hotline. - Mountain Biking at Oak Valley Wine estate - see my review if this, but go for the biking and not the food or wine - and use Joe Ride from Cape Town as a guide. - The Marine Big Five - just do it. We were out of whale season and saw copper sharks, a hump back whale (yes I know right) lots of dolphins, penguins and fur seals. We didn't hang around in Gainsbaii, but seemed nice enough. - Cafe at Grotto beach. - Walking along the coastal path and swimming in the sea. Its cold, and find out of about currents, but very refreshing.

Hoteito Perfecto gran lujo con calidez humana La Birkenhead House que es parte del Grupo Royal Portfolio que tiene 4 de los mejores hoteles del país, la Biekenhead House es un hotel encantador de 12 habitaciones, decoradas cada una de manera diferente con antigüedades y muebles de calidad y sabanas y toallas excepcionales. Lo mejor del hotel es el servicio que además de profesional e impecable es cálido, acogedor y se desviven por el huésped. Son 58 para 12 habitaciones y son fantásticos todos. La cocina es sabrosa, sana y muy cuidada, las vistas espectaculares. La llegada al hotel es un poco sorprendente pues la entrada del hotel es muy poco impresionante y la recepción es de bolsillo aunque muy cuca con una pequeña Boutique con ropa y artesanías de toda Sudáfrica, incluso alguna antigüedad. En resumen un lugar de ensueño para desconectar y recargar pilas.
