Workation in Hermanus: the essentials
Hermanus owes its fame to southern right whales, which come close enough to be watched from the cliff path along the town's seafront, mostly between June and early December. The town sits on Walker Bay, roughly 120 km by road southeast of Cape Town, and is popular with retirees and weekenders from the city. Just inland, the Hemel-en-Aarde valley produces well-regarded wines. The name was once Hermanuspietersfontein, shortened in 1902 because it was too long for the postal service. Coworking is thin on the ground and rents climb sharply in December and January. Public transport barely exists, so you will want a car.
