The mild Mediterranean climate, champagne air, mountains covered by Fynbos, rich marine life, and the best land-based whale watching in the world, make Hermanus one of the most magnificent and desirable eco-destinations in the country and encourages around-the-year tourism seasons during the winter months.
Already popular for second homes, the town is now a hot spot for remote workers and semigrating families who can enjoy a cosmopolitan coastal lifestyle, access to the beautiful Hemel en Aarde Wine Valley, and top-class facilities and great schools.
Hermanus has mountain trails and the Atlantic Ocean for the outdoor enthusiasts, beautiful beaches, numerous high-quality restaurants, coffee shops, and cafés, and proximity to incredible wine farms, it really is a special place to live.
