The village of Hermanus, although small, offers the comforts of a city-like infrastructure - it is filled with charming shops and restaurants that ensure Hermanus lives up to its name of 'Riviera of the South'. There are:
The mountains behind the village are home to the Fernkloof Nature Reserve - a conservancy area rich in Fynbos and bird life. There are several walks for all types of hikers. The reserve also has a cycling trail. (Maps, walking sticks and general information about the reserve are available in the little hut in the parking lot.)
The mountains are a popular departure point for paragliders and the skies are often dotted with the vibrant colours of people enjoying our picturesque surroundings from a different perspective.
Hermanus has wonderful beaches and a magnificent lagoon that enable visitors to enjoy a variety of water sports from kayaking to sailing to surfing to deep sea fishing... or simply bathing.
There are many places of historical interest in Hermanus as well as several art galleries that are adorned with artworks of local artists - many of whom are internationally acclaimed.
Hermanus is the perfect holiday spot: not only is there is something for everyone to do, but it is also the most beautiful place to do absolutely nothing in! |
