For those who like the sound of this combination, then take a look at this sleepy suburb when deciding on your accommodation in Hermanus for your next holiday. There’s plenty to choose from.

The beauty of choosing Onrus for your next holiday along the Cape Whale Coast is that you will never be far from the ocean in this suburb. So much of the accommodation has a sea view here and is just a short walk down to the closest beach. If you’re there for a holiday during whale season, you’ll never be far from a sighting of the giants of the sea. It’s a thrill to be able to stand on the shoreline and watch whales playing in their natural habitat.
The beaches near Onrus are perfect for lazy summer days, getting active with water sports out in the waves, exploring the beautiful coastline and building sand castles.
