HERMANUS HOTELS

For years an exclusive retreat for busy Cape-tonians, Hermanus and its tranquil surroundings have since become one of the world’s premiere year-round eco-tourism destinations. Totally unspoilt by man, it is a truly pristine wilderness, disturbed only by the charming and historic villages that dot the coastline.

The other unique attraction of the area is the opportunity to enjoy undoubtedly the best land and boat based whale watching in the world. From July through to October the greatest marine mammal show on earth is accessible to all as herds of Southern Right, Humpback and Bryde’s whales who migrate around the Cape of Good Hope. Walker Bay provides the nursery for the calving mothers, and in celebration of the newborns, Hermanus hosts an extraordinary ‘Whale Festival’ in September each year.

The multitude of other activities available, from mountain biking along rugged cliff paths to shark cage diving in the deep blue ocean, ensure adventure seekers will also be fulfilled.
