Hermanus has so much to offer, that a longer stay is worth your while.

You can explore the Hemel-en-Aarde wine route and restaurants, go quad-biking or shark-cage diving in Gansbaai.

During the summer season you can go whale watching from the shore or go out on a boat trip.

We also recommend taking a walk along the Clif Path from Grotto Beach to the New harbour as well as going to Fernkloof Botanical Gardens and taking mountain strolls.

There are many local beautiful beaches to choose from at Onrus, Voelklip and the Blue Flag Grotto Beach.

Hermanus is a central base to explore the quaint towns of the Overberg Region or to travel along the Whale Route.

An enjoyable outing can include a short drive to Betty's Bay to view the penguin colony at Stoney Point and to visit the Harold Porter Botanical Gardens.
