Several years back, precisely in 1902, a small town on the Southern Coast of the Western Cape of South Africa shortened its name from Hermanuspietersfontien to Hermanus because of the length of the initial name. A once-humble fishing village, it\u2019s now known for Southern Right Whale watching, especially when the Southern winter to spring seasons are out. It is most known to be a popular retirement location starting from mid-year, June to early December when the whales are seen from the cliffs along the coast.<\/p>\n
The fishing community has now grown to be a well-known and most loved tourism center on the coastline of the Southern Cape.

Just before you set out, you need to know your destination. Hermanus is located about 115km southeast of Cape Town<\/a>, which lies along Walker Bay on the Southern Coast of the Western Cape. This is a town connected to the Mother City by the coastal R44 scenic route and N2 motorway. Hermanus is a spot where people wine and dine amongst the great white whale, which is 40km from Gansbaai.<\/p>\n The fishing community still boasts of its historical railway station building without having a railway line. The founders decided not to welcome a railway line so as not to commercialize the village. They still want Hermanus to be seen as a small fisherman\u2019s village.
