Where should I live in Hermanus?

We asked digital nomads and expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:

"Finding a place to live in Hermanus involves several steps. First, you need to determine your budget and the type of accommodation you're looking for. This could range from a small apartment to a large house, depending on your needs and financial situation. Next, you should research the different neighborhoods in Hermanus to find one that suits your lifestyle and preferences. Some areas might be closer to the beach, while others are closer to the town center or have better access to public transportation. Once you have a clear idea of what you're looking for, you can start your search. There are several online platforms where you can find listings for rentals and properties for sale in Hermanus. Websites like Property24, Private Property, and Gumtree have extensive listings for Hermanus and the surrounding areas. You can filter your search based on your preferences, such as the number of bedrooms, price range, and location. Make sure to read the descriptions carefully and look at all the photos to get a good idea of the property. If you're not comfortable conducting the search on your own, you can also hire a real estate agent. They can help you navigate the local market, arrange viewings, and handle negotiations with landlords or sellers. Once you've found a place you're interested in, you should arrange a viewing. This will give you a chance to inspect the property in person and ask any questions you might have. If you're satisfied with the property, you can then proceed to the negotiation and contract signing stage. Make sure to read the contract carefully and understand all the terms before signing. Finally, once the contract is signed and the deposit is paid, you can start planning your move to your new home in Hermanus," said one expat who made the move to Hermanus.
