This magnificent coastline stretches from the lagoons at Kleinmond, past the craggy coastline of Hermanus to the fishing village of Arniston. From July to November, southern right whales and humpbacks converge on the coastal waters to mate and calve in what is one of the world’s great natural exhibitions. The indigenous flora forms a spectacular tapestry of wild flowers that make the fynbos landscape world famous. Hermanus is located 75 miles from Cape Town, and the area would make an excellent combination with a city centre hotel, or as part of a tailormade itinerary including the Garden Route and the game reserves of the Eastern Cape. Please call us to discuss your requirements.

The most striking landmark in Hermanus, The Marine, dates from 1902 and is located on the seafront at the end of the main street. The 42bedrooms are beautifully decorated with period furniture and many have wonderful sea or mountain views.
With its wonderful cliff top location and stunning views across the beaches of Walker Bay, this is an ideal spot for those looking for seaside relaxation within the Western Cape. The views come into their own from June to November when southern right whales can be seen from the terraces.
