Well-situated within and overlooking the Peter Matkovich-designed, 27-hole Hermanus Golf Club, Fernkloof Villa is the perfect escape for a golfing holiday. But there is no shortage of other sights, attractions and activities if swinging the irons isn’t your idea of the perfect getaway.
Hermanus itself is a picturesque coastal town and one of the most popular along the Cape thanks to its great swimming beaches, mountain views and unique wetlands. Hermanus is particularly renowned for its whale watching. In fact, the town is recognised by the World Wildlife Fund as one of the 12 best whale watching destinations in the world. The town itself is brimming with bars, restaurants, cafes, art galleries and boutiques. Don’t forget to take a scenic walk along the coastline, taking in the Hermanus Cliff Path Biodiversity Walk and Whale Rock; make sure to keep your eyes peeled for Southern Right whales breaching in Walker Bay.
If exploring the area on foot or bicycle is up your alley, the neighbouring Fernkloof Nature Reserve is a pristine wilderness with an abundance of hiking trails showcasing the area’s diverse flora and fauna.
The Overberg region is also a beacon for wine lovers the world over thanks to its proximity to some of the best wine terroirs in Africa – acclaimed for its Pinot Noir and Chardonnay varietals. Make sure to delve into the renown Hermanus Wine Route which winds exquisitely up the Hemel en Aarde valley to take in some of the best local wineries and restaurants including Wine Village, Bouchard Finlayson, Spookfontein and La Vierge.
If a full day of exploring the big city is your idea of fun, Cape Town (2-hour drive) is not out of reach. The city is bustling with stunning beaches, museums, wineries, and of course the iconic Table Mountain.
