According to a recent FNB report, over the past two years, there has been an increase in homeowners aged between 51-years and older in the Hemel en Aarde Estate as well as the Fernkloof Golf Estate in Hermanus. Older home buyers are opting for the safety and convenience offered by gated estates for their retirement. These two estates provide buyers with fine living in Hermanus and a host of activities to keep them occupied.

Situated at the foot of the Hemel en Aarde Valley, the upmarket Hemel en Aarde Estate offers 24-hour access control. Reinforcing security, owners are required to use the biometric security system, while visitors must make prior arrangements to enter the estate.

Considering health and wellness as a priority, Hermanus has its own private Medi-Clinic that offers residents a broad spectrum of professional medical services.

It is said that the sea mist or 'Champagne Air' in Hermanus has restorative health properties. Recommended by medical professionals, the town is a well-known place to recuperate. A new oncology centre was opened ±2 years ago.
