The whale watching paradise of Walker Bay, Hermanus

Aside from being the best place to view whales on the planet, Hermanus is renowned for its wild beauty, artisanal food producers and its proximity to the Hemel-en-Aarde wine route. The town was originally called Hermanuspietersfontein, but the name was shortened because it was too long for the postal service.

Full of quaint boutiques, markets and galleries, the town is a popular South African tourist destination for local and international visitors. The town is a scenic 90 minute drive from Cape Town.

It is very opulent for a beach house but nothing is done at the expense of comfort. When you’re lying on a lounger waiting for another whale to lobtail while sipping a fine Sauvignon, you can’t help but conclude that Birkenhead House is one of Africa’s finest beachfront hotels. The hotel, perched on a raised promontory that juts out between two beach coves, has the best location and flawless service.
