Hawston Weather, Climate and Seasons

Hawston straddles the R43 and is situated between Fisherhaven and Hermanus, and has a small fishing harbour with a slipway for seagoing vessels.

When intermittent snowfalls occur on inland mountain peaks you may want to hibernate next to a warm fire with a lekker potjie on the go.

The winter rainfall has soaked the earth and in thanks, Mother Nature has given new life to the landscape, which is now covered in generous splashes of pink Fynbos blossoms. A trip inland at the beginning of spring to see the endless blankets of canary yellow canola fields is one not to be missed!
