Birkenhead House was the first stop on our South African adventure. We were blown away by the beauty and service from the moment we arrived. With the manager waiting for us at the main entrance and the good news that we were upgraded to the honeymoon suite (bottle of champagne awaiting us). Our room was clean, simple, comfy and wonderful... More

We were met by the efficient Ricardo, and felt at ease straight away. As you walk down through the property, you get the wonderful breeze from the sea, finally reaching the sea front as you walk out to the blue sea & sky and the white surf of the ocean. We'd tried to get in here for a few years,... More

Having recently stayed at Royal Malewane we were expecting Birkenhead to be equally spectacular as it has the same owners. Althought the terraced area at the back of the hotel does have a spectacular view the rest of the hotel looks out over a charmless suburb and is so close to the other buildings that you have to keep many...

Just left after a couple of idyllic days in this hotel. Feels like visiting old friends. Staff couldn't be more helpful. Rooms are beautiful with great views over the bay and whale watching from the balcony thrown in. Food and drink included in the package and of the highest standard. Was hard to tear ourselves away. We'll be back. More

My husband and I stayed here three nights in October 2011. We had just been married at La Residence (review posted) which is a sister property to Birkenhead House. Upon arrival we were immediately given a tour of the property by a lovely man named Ricardo, dressed in white linen, who then escorted us to our room. Our room was... More

We have now stayed at Birkenhead three times and it always lives up to expectations. The atmosphere is just lovely, the setting and accomodation really special and the food excellent. The all inclusiveness makes for total relaxation ......... The chef made every effort to please us even asking us if we would like something different from the menu. The quality... More
