Hermanus Waterfront

Nestled in the historic Fisherman’s Village above Hermanus’s Old Harbour, Hermanus Waterfront is affectionately known as “the Heart of Hermanus”—a bustling open-air piazza blending over 40 shops, restaurants, cafes, and bars, all set against picturesque Walker Bay views.

The Waterfront’s charming mix includes heritage buildings—once fisherman’s cottages—now transformed into cozy eateries and boutique stores. As a community focal point, its piazza regularly hosts live music, street entertainment, and festivals—especially the Whale Festival—complete with a kids’ play park and selfie-frame overlooking the bay.

Gastronomes will delight in a diverse culinary scene: seaside seafood grills, bistros offering traditional Cape flavors, international fare—perfectly paired with regional wines. Plus, for extra immersion, the waterfront features stylish apartments with private rooftop pools and sweeping 360° views of town and bay.

Visitors often describe the Waterfront as a relaxed yet lively "village square," ideal for leisurely browsing, lingering over meals, or simply soaking up the vibrant coastal energy—rain or shine.
