~ Hermanus ~ Western Cape ~ South Africa ~

Umbani truly is 'Heaven on Earth' - an ideal location for a tranquil, relaxing escape where you can take a gentle walk following the road to the neighbouring forest. The more energetic can walk some of the more than 23 km of mountain footpaths through the floral wonderland of proteas, ericas and Cape reeds, in the Fernkloof Nature Reserve. The Overberg Farmhouse has been built from wood and stone, its traditional colours harmonising unobtrusively with nature, giving a peaceful old-world ambience.

Set in the most breathtakingly beautiful valley, 11 kms inland from the quaint coastal town of Hermanus is the Umbani Private Nature Reserve. Experience the wonders of the Cape Floral Kingdom's profusion of indigenous flowers, prolific bird life and occasional sightings of deer, on the secluded hillside, overlooking the sparkling waters of the De Bos Dam, surrounded by excellent wine farms with the Overberg Mountains as a backdrop.

When the weather permits, enjoy the African tradition of outdoor eating, with a fusion of innovative ethnic cuisine presented by candlelight in the courtyard. Swim in the natural lagoon or visit some of the lovely bathing beaches nearby.
