Location

The town of Hermanus is a haven for golfers, featuring a magnificent 27 hole golf course. It is also a cyclist’s dream, with trails going up and down the mountain and into the Hemel & Aarde valley.  It is a hive of cultural activity, with regular events such as the First Friday’s Art Walk and the Fynarts Festival of music and art. Whale watching is spectacular from July to November and in summer Hermanus is a kaleidoscope of beach umbrellas with all generations enjoying the sunshine and holiday fun on the Blue Flag beaches.
