Birkenhead House, South Africa. first class spot for seeing Whales and Dolphins passing by

In this amazing place in South Africa, where top luxury and adventure goes hand in hand, one of the most memorable things was their enormous hospitality. They gave us a warm welcome feeling by gifting us a handwritten note on arrival and also handwritten spiritual wishes the next morning in your room. A good thought to start the day with makes your staying even better spent.

“The time to make friends is before you need them.”

I still have the note, how simple but true. I simply loved it.

Okay, now a little gossip! Matt Damon stayed here when he was filming one of his movies, I can’t blame him for his great choice picking this hotel!
