Local Tips
- Timing: Book well in advance, especially during whale watching season (June-November) when Hermanus becomes particularly busy
- Sunset visits: Arrive about an hour before sunset to enjoy the changing colors over Walker Bay with your meal
- Local pairing: The menu complements the excellent wines from the Stellenbosch and Hemel-en-Aarde Valley regions
