🤍🐋 72 HOURS IN HERMANUS: YOUR CAPE WHALE COAST GETAWAY GUIDE

Planning a weekend escape to Hermanus? From exceptional restaurants and coastal walks to art galleries, boutique shopping, w**e tasting and family-friendly experiences, this seaside destination has something for everyone.

🍴 FOOD & COFFEE Enjoy Asian-inspired flavours at Lizette’s, authentic seafood at Old Harbour Perlemoenn, a memorable meal at Madre in Stanford, breakfast bagels at Oskars, brunch at Saint Marie or coffee and a Marmite croissant at Black Medicine. Mirko Coffee and Plato are also worth a visit.

🥂 W**E, COCKTAILS & OCEAN VIEWS Sip cocktails overlooking the Atlantic at Ficks, or make your way to Creation W**es in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley for w**e tasting and a leisurely lunch.

🐋 COASTAL WALKS & BEACH DAYS A walk along the famous Hermanus Cliff Path is a must, with spectacular ocean views and seasonal whale-watching opportunities. For a relaxed beach day, head to Kammabaai and enjoy a coffee from the little coffee truck.

🎨 ART, SHOPPING & LOCAL FINDS Browse the charming Book Cottage, discover gifts at Beach House, explore the Thirst Gallery and its beautiful art, or venture into Stanford for unique candles at Palmer Chandler and antiques at Stanford Trading Store.

👨‍👩‍👧 FAMILY-FRIENDLY EXPERIENCES Travelling with little ones? Add Whale of a Time, a petting zoo visit and a pottery-painting session at Bisque It Café to your itinerary.

✨ Three days may be enough for a taste of Hermanus, but six days give you more time to explore the hidden gems, discover the surrounding villages and savour the very best of the Cape Whale Coast.

📌 Save this guide for your next coastal getaway and share it with someone you'd love to explore Hermanus with!
