Experiences

Golfing on the whale coast

Arabella Country Estate brings extraordinary scenery to the game of golf, and has hosted celebrities and golf pros alike on its luxury estate. The 8th hole has been described as one of the most beautiful in South Africa, and there are some tricky technicalities introduced by sand traps and the presence of water.
Hermanus Golf Club is only five minutes from Birkenhead House, making it an easy getaway for a keen golfer looking for a quick game on the whale coast. All levels of golfers will find fun and fulfillment just a walk away from the comfort of the hotel.
