Over the years – a decade or two if you will – the burgeoning town of Hermanus has evolved from being a placid little seaside village of beach bars and bungalows scattered around the curves and cliffs of a dramatically scenic coastline, and transformed into a bustling borough of nouveau colonies of trendy cafés, farmer’s markets, international schools, commercial chains, swanky seaside restaurants and a residential development that spreads exponentially either side of the town’s finger tips. Its coming of age has been embraced by its venerable, diverse communities that thrive from the vibrancy of the revamped village and all of its dynamic happenings. There’s an age-old grace to Hermanus that’s rooted in the leafy suburban lanes, the picturesque cliffside pathways and in every genial wave of a resident welcoming you in with sincerity.
