The little town of Hermon is a peaceful oasis located in the Western Cape Winelands of South Africa. Home to a community of farmers and friendly locals, the town’s name means ‘elevated’ in Herbrew.
You’ll find this quaint town in the lush Riebeek Valley between Wellington and Malmesbury. Hermon has beautiful mountain backdrops and a sense of tranquility, far removed from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Beautiful scenery, olives, good food and an excellent wine route makes the area easily capable of entertaining one for a weekend or more. Accommodation in Hermon includes charming cottages and guest farms with modern amenities and great hospitality to enjoy a comfortable stay.
This town near Swartland boasts local projects worth visiting like the Riebeek Kasteel Community Garden Project, where inhabitants have their own allotment vegetable gardens, as well as the Steel Band Project. Two weekend markets - the Riebeek Kasteel Village Market, and the Riebeek West Fresh Funky Market are open to visitors to purchase local goods.
Hermon is the perfect base from which to explore the Cape’s marvellous range of Wine Routes, its farmlands and natural attractions.
