3About Hermanus
Hermanus is your classic Western Cape coastal stop, 119 km from Cape Town via the N2 and R43, famous for whales you can practically spot from the cliff path without binoculars. Handy for day trippers, with quick hops to Onrusrivier, Vermont and Hawston along the R43, plus Stanford and Gansbaai if you're keen to explore further. About 6 fast EV chargers around town mean you can juice up before hitting the coast road again.
