Although their foods can quite pricey you likely won't find better cheesecake anywhere else and have a great variety. If you've got a sweet tooth you might want to visit here. Can also sit in and eat there as well.

Getting Around

A decent transportation service in Hermanus to get around Hermanus. The costs can become quite high if you travel beyond Hermanus however. Inquire about pricing first before making a request for pickup. http://www.hermanustaxi.com/

Parks & Nature

An amazing and free nature reserve to visit with a variety of different hiking paths. When you reach the reserve simply follow the road straight to the end and you'll reach an office and a large map of all hiking paths. You can enter the office to get walking sticks as well (please return them once done). The trails are very scenic but I would recommend the waterfall route and the one that heads towards "Lemonkop". From Lemonkop you can see the entirety of Hermanus, sea and beaches. Definitely a must see if you love fantastic views! https://www.fernkloof.org.za/

The Cliff Path is one of the well known scenic places of Hermanus. It stretches from town all the way to Grotto beach with two smaller but very beautiful beaches inbetween. It is a very long walk if you walk the entire route. Please note at some point in the path it heads to the road. Just follow the road a short while and you will see a sign that shows where the path continues.

Sightseeing

Just a little small hill in town. It has an amazing view from the top of most of town and more. There are quite a few stairs although it is a short trip to the top (3 minutes+-). Definitely a must see if you are passing through town or visiting the many restaurants in town as it is a short detour. Sunrises and sunsets make a good view too!

One of the better Grocery stores with a much larger variety of different items including some imported goods. Their pricing tends to be slightly higher on certain goods but the majority of foods and goods are fairly priced and offer much more than other stores. There is also a Checkers at the Whale Coast Mall - this is one of their best stores, offering even more than the one in town and includes a larger produce/baking section as well as a Restaurant inside. See my Whale Coast Mall reference for the location of this one.
