Hermanus has a single court, the magistrate court, but it sits at two different addresses in the town, which is the usual source of confusion when people refer simply to the Hermanus court.
Official contact channels
- Hermanus Magistrate Court: 028 312 3713
Services and responsibilities
One number reaches the court regardless of which venue a matter is heard at, because both are the same court office. The Department of Justice lists no separate small claims, maintenance or equality court for Hermanus with its own contact details; those are services of the same court.
Office and address information
The court building is at 63 Main Road, Hermanus, 7200. The second venue is the municipal building on Harmony Street. Post goes to Private Bag X01, Hermanus, 7200, whichever venue a matter sits at.
Applications and escalation
If you have been given a Hermanus court address that is not 63 Main Road, it is most likely the Harmony Street municipal building rather than a different court. Hermanus is the main seat for the Overberg district, so matters from surrounding towns may also be administered here.
