L’ermitage is a guest-focused village paying tribute to the French Huguenots who settled in this valley some 300 years ago. A sense of old-fashioned community abounds in this aptly named sanctuary offering weary city-dwellers the tranquillity and relaxed atmosphere of a select residential estate.

Here residents stroll the cobbled streets, meeting neighbours and friends for coffee or a chat without the rush of deadlines or the press of time. And yet in the midst of this courteous and kindly lifestyle are superior modern amenities and the unparalleled lifestyle you would expect in this, the food and wine capital of South Africa.
