Overview

We love hiking and we love wine. Hermanus has many exciting hiking trails and exquisite vineyards. Imagine Yosemite's mountains, Malibu's beaches and Napa Valley's wines and you have the perfect mix to create a hiking and wine adventure. Let us take you on a 3 day hiking and wine adventure along our rugged coastline, through the Cape floral kingdom and into the aptly named Hemel en Aarde (Heaven and Earth) Valley. We have chosen some of our favourite hikes and will introduce you to our winemaking friends. September - November is Southern Right whale season and hiking along the Cliff Path walk is the perfect way to spot them. The rest of the year Brydes whales, dolphins, seals and sometimes orcas can be spotted. We will also take you to walk amongst a colony of African penguins. All finished off each day with a pilates session, a great way to stretch after a days hiking, and a delicious meal.

    This was such a well organised and enjoyable three days. From the time we were collected in Cape Town we were so well looked after, entertained, fed and wanted for nothing. We loved the scenic drive and our visit to the penguins at Stony Point. Fiona and Bob are excellent but very natural hosts and we felt very comfortable in our spacious en-suite room in their lovely, well designed home. Having recently taken up pilates we really enjoyed Fiona’s 90 minute sessions and picked up lots of valuable tips for improvement. The hikes as well as pilates were tailored to our fitness levels and we enjoyed coastal as well as national park hikes in stunning scenery, We also enjoyed exploring Hermanus, a town full of character and, if you time it right, a harbour full of whales! Breakfast, lunch and dinner were all home cooked and delicious. Healthy food, and traditional dishes were a welcome change from the international fare of Cape Town and I now have Fiona’s wholemeal bread recipe! The vineyard Fiona & Bob took us to was family owned and had delicious affordable wines. What really impressed us was that Fiona made contact before we left the U.K and gave us some useful and very helpful tips for our time in Cape Town. If we come back to South Africa it will be the first trip that we book again!

    We had such a fantastic stay with Fiona and Bob! The space is just perfect. The bedroom and bathroom were lovely and clean. Not only did they give excellent suggestions on wineries and other places to visit, they took us on hikes! They are incredibly knowledgeable about the area’s history and current news. A definite stop if you are heading to the Western Cape!

    Lovely stay with Bob and Fiona in their beautiful home in Hermanus. We went on a hike where Fiona was an excellent source of knowledge on the local flora and fauna. Did a delicious wine tasting and even saw whales on our hike on the cliff path! Would absolutely recommend and we can’t wait to be back!

    We spent very wonderful days at Fionas beautiful house, we were indulged by her with lovely south african meals and surprised with a picnique in the mountains after a relaxing walk through the finebos. We got to known wineyards all offside mainstream tourism. I highly appreciated the combination of activity, food, wine and nature with the warmth of the host! Thank you again!!
