The Whale Coast, South Africa

Birkenhead Villa

Totally Secluded, Luxury Seaside Stay with Private Chef

Just next door to Birkenhead House, this 12-person villa enjoys the same spectacular views and stylish decor as the hotel but with the added element of a totally secluded, elegant and luxury seaside stay.

White minimalist contours are cool and clean; interiors simple, elegant and contemporary. A laidback ambience makes for effortless relaxation for all the family. Each of the luxury suites are individually decorated but all feature contemporary South African artworks.

Perched on the Hermanus cliffs, take in the expansive views over Walker Bay where you can witness the incredible southern right whales. The villa has its own private chef and beautiful open-plan kitchen flowing into the garden. At the centre of this sleekly design is a tailored lawn and pool.

Guests can also access all the benefits and facilities of the hotel including the spa for massages, aromatherapy and reflexology treatments.
