Area Description
Hermanus is a seaside resort town built along the shores of Walker Bay. Known for its champagne air, long stretches of sand beach intermixed with rocky coastline, and rich flora and fauna, Hermanus is located a mere 75 minutes from Cape Town airport.
Hermanus is famous for offering the world's best whale watching. From August to November, the Southern Right whales congregate in the waters in and around Walker Bay. A 12-km cliff walk through the town provides wonderful opportunities to observe the gentle giants in the coves below. We are located one bay to the west of Walker Bay, with frequent whale sitings in the bay. You can watch the whales right from the front patio. The highlight of the Whale Season is the annual Whale Festival, September 23-26, 2005.
"Bietou" is located in the quiet residential area of Hermanus know as "Vermont". You will be grateful for this on weekends and holidays, as the town itself can be very busy. There is a small shopping center 3 minutes away, with grocery store, chemist shop (pharmacy), liquor/wines, video rental, and restaurant/pub. Town centre is a short 6-8-minute drive.
For the perfect African holiday, combine your stay in Hermanus with a stay at my other rental property in the Sea Point section of Cape Town.
