Exploring the Magic of Vermont

One of the primary reasons travelers seek out a 3 bedroom self catering Vermont Hermanus stay is the location. Vermont is more than just a suburb; it is a conservation-conscious village where 20% of the land is dedicated to fynbos-rich green belts.

The Vermont Salt Pan and Flamingos

Just a short stroll from Dolphin Apartments is the Vermont Salt Pan. This seasonal wetland is a birdwatcher's paradise, often playing host to over 600 greater flamingos. The sight of these pink-winged birds against the backdrop of the Onrus Mountains is one of the most iconic views in the region.

Coastal Trails and Tidal Pools

The Vermont Trail offers a scenic coastal walk that connects you to neighboring Onrus. Along the way, you can dip into the Davies Tidal Pool or find a quiet spot on the rocks at Brekfis Bay—a secluded beach known for its white dunes and calm waters, perfect for an early morning picnic.

Making the Most of Your Hermanus Visit

While Vermont offers peace and quiet, the highlights of the Whale Coast are just a short drive away:

  • Whale Watching: Between June and October, the Hermanus Whale Crier patrols the cliffs, signaling the arrival of Southern Right whales in Walker Bay.
  • Wine Tasting: The world-renowned Hemel-en-Aarde Valley is less than 10km away, offering cool-climate Pinots and Chardonnays.
  • Golf: The prestigious Arabella Golf Club is a brief 20-minute drive, perfect for enthusiasts looking for a championship course.

For those traveling from further afield, getting here is a breeze. Most visitors choose to book cheap flights to Cape Town and enjoy the scenic 90-minute drive along the R43 or the breathtaking Clarence Drive.

Conclusion
