Popular areas to stay in Hermanus

Most of visitors looking for accommodation in Hermanus prefer to stay either within the town of Hermanus or the nearby Gansbaai, which is popular for shark cage diving!

Should you rather prefer a more inland location, northeast of Hermanus is the charming Genadendal, which sits wonderfully at the foot of the hills of the Riviersonderend Nature Reserve.
