What? you haven't been to Hermanus lately you don't know what your missing. You have to visit Hermanus at least once a year, 100's of Southern Right Whales can't all be wrong and they love it so much they stay here for six months. Whale watching in Walkerbay this year has been amazing, weather you are enjoying them up close and personal on one of the daily boat cruises with or watching them from the cliff path either way it's a experience not to miss. |
The Hermanus Cliff paths is wonderful this time of year not just because of the whales, but the path is surrounded by lovely wild flowers in bloom, and keep an eye out for the colourful Sun-birds they just love they sweet nectar of the "Fynbos". And if your one of those people who can't get through your day with out your morning jog, the cliff paths are perfect for you, plus you will have a jog with a view what better could you ask for. The cliff paths are about 10 kilometers long, and pass several landmarks along the way with fascinating names and stories about Hermanus like Bientangs Cave named after the last known survivor of the 'strandlopers' who lived in the area and died in the late 1900's..
Bientangs Cave Restaurant is one of the best Hermanus lunch spots, and I can tell you over and over about the astonishing seafood dishes they prepare,but what makes this restaurant unique is it location. Situated in the historic cave that used to be inhabited by a Koi Strandloper with the same name, the restaurant flows out onto the rocks and has beautiful views of Walkerbay. The Dassies and local seabirds have become part of the restaurant ambiance.
