Compliment for Hermanus from a touring couple ... making a good impression!

"My wife and I have just completed a 5 day stay in Hermanus and we would like to compliment your Board on a very well run town. We stayed at Misty Waves which is of a very good standard. From our hotel we walked to the New Harbor and Grotto Beach along your very well maintained foot paths. At no time did we see any litter along these areas. We thought that we would let you know that you are doing a good job in making Hermanus a very pleasant holiday destination. Regards Mike and Avril McCarthy."
