As affordable properties in the Western Cape become increasingly scarce, we suggest you cross the mountain to the Overstrand. Fisherhaven is the first suburb of Hermanus as you travel along the R43, just past Benguela Cove, lying on the banks of the Bot River Lagoon.
Quaint, quirky and home to an increasing number of artists, creatives and younger families in search of an alternative lifestyle, Fisherhaven is a paradise for both nature lovers and water-sport enthusiasts, offering scenic hiking trails, a play park for kids and a public slipway for launching your boat, canoe or kayak. In addition, a local superette and restaurant ensure you won’t need to travel far for your day-to-day needs and wants.
Watch the spectacular sunrises and sunsets from the comfort of home, and look out for the abundant birdlife, wandering tortoises and the local herd of feral horses that roam the roads of this magical little village. With its generously sized stands, whether you buy an established home or build your own, there is ample scope to expand, redesign or create something entirely new.
Fisherhaven feels like a rural village, yet what sets it apart is a short ten-minute drive that brings you to Onrus and, a little further afield, to Hermanus, both of which offer gorgeous beaches, tourist attractions, medical care and an array of retailers and restaurants.
