Hermanus Champagne

Hermanus is a popular holiday town on the southern coast of the Western Cape. It is world famous for having fantastic land and boat-based whale watching.

Hermanus boasts numerous beaches. Grotto Beach is the largest and has acquired Blue Flag status. Other beaches include Voelklip, Kommabaai, Sandbaai, and Langbaai. Be sure to experience the true culture of Hermanus by attending one of the various craft markets in and around town, from Lemm’s Corner Market to The Food & Wine Market and Hermanus Country Market. Although Hermanus has become a famous tourist attraction, it has kept its village charm.
