Glen Fruin Meadows was originally incorporated in the farm Glen Fruin, owned for over half a century by the Musson family who lived across the river. The Onrust River which runs through Glen Fruin Meadows is fed from the De Bos Dam in the Hemel en Aarde Valley (which literally translated means Heaven and Earth) and meanders under the national road to join the sea at Onrust Beach.

Hermanus was often referred to as the Riviera of the South in bygone days and for all intents and purposes, has maintained its status albeit with a modern fusion of luxury holiday homes dotting the pristine coastline, funky cafes, coffee shops and eateries overlooking Walker Bay, speciality shops to delight even the most selective shopper and craft markets to keep you busy for hours.

Probably best known for its renowned Cliff Paths which meander along the coastline, Hermanus has become a whale watchers paradise. Visitors come annually from far and wide to view one of nature's spectacular events when whales come close into Walker Bay to calve. Their antics will amuse you for hours on end, so be prepared. Pack a picnic or have lunch at one of the many little eateries along the magnificent coastline where the uninterrupted views of Walker Bay will ensure endless pleasure during Whale Season.
