With its unparalleled scenic beauty, modern infrastructure, upmarket shops and endless adventure options, it’s little wonder that
Hermanus has grown in size and popularity during the last decade.
Visitors from near and far flock to the town to enjoy its many charms while local residents and homeowners savour
the privilege of living in this unique region.
As part of the Whale Festival celebrations, we're launching a BETA version of the original Hermanus Website : http://beta.hermanus.co.za.
The new website offers tourism information, events and updated news content. It also offers the largest online Business Directory for Hermanus.
We'd love to hear what you think - please visit the site and let us have your feedback via Twitter, Facebook or directly from the site.
We'll have a lucky draw at the end of the Whale Festival and if you've given us feedback, you might be lucky enough to receive some of our excellent local wine as a prize!
We look forward to hearing from you! - The Maxitec Team
