JLog runs a dedicated own-van delivery service from Woodstock, Cape Town to Hermanus — a direct, single-handover trip for designer furniture, fine art, ceramics, lighting and full interior installs. Hermanus is roughly 120 km from JLog’s Woodstock base, about a 90-minute drive via the N2 over Sir Lowry’s Pass, which makes it a comfortable dedicated day run. One collection, one drive, one delivery — no shared loads, no depot stops. The same two-person team that collects your pieces in Cape Town carries them into the room of your choice in Hermanus.
Why a Dedicated Trip to Hermanus, Not a Shared Courier
Hermanus and the wider Overstrand coast are an established second-home and lifestyle market — the seaside end of the Western Cape’s property boom, where Cape Town buyers and semigrants invest in coastal homes that are furnished to a high standard. Goods bound for these homes are often fragile, valuable and chosen with care: art for a sea-view wall, a statement dining table, designer lighting. A shared courier sends them through a depot and a mixed load; a dedicated trip keeps them blanket-wrapped, braced for your load alone, and driven straight to the door.
There are two ways to reach Hermanus from Cape Town: the quick N2 route over Sir Lowry’s Pass, or the slower, scenic R44 coastal road past Gordon’s Bay and Betty’s Bay. For a valuable consignment we drive the route that best suits the load and the timing — but either way, your goods travel on their own, not on a shared courier run.
Who We Deliver For in Hermanus
- Second-home and coastal-property owners. Much of Hermanus’s high-value stock is second homes and lifestyle properties. Owners furnishing or refreshing a coastal home want the pieces to arrive undamaged and placed — not left at a gate while they are back in the city.
- Interior designers and decorators. For a designer running a coastal project, a dedicated day run means a single coordinated delivery: furniture, art and décor arrive together, on the agreed day, carried in and positioned to instruction.
- Hospitality and galleries. Hermanus has a strong tourism and gallery scene built on whale-season visitors. When a guesthouse, restaurant or gallery refits or hangs a new show, we move the pieces with the care of a fine-art consignment.
What We Carry to Hermanus
Designer and high-end furniture. Fine art, ceramics and antiques — collector and gallery pieces that warrant single-handover transport. Lighting, mirrors and fragile décor — padded and braced, never stacked on a shared truck. Full interior installs — furnishing a coastal home in a single coordinated run. If it is valuable, fragile or irreplaceable, it belongs on a dedicated trip.

- Condition check and signature. We confirm the pieces arrived as they left, and you sign off.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Hermanus from Cape Town, and how long does a dedicated run take?
Hermanus is approximately 120 km by road from JLog’s Woodstock base — about a 90-minute drive via the N2 over Sir Lowry’s Pass. It is a comfortable dedicated day run, there and back.
Can you deliver to a coastal estate or a second home when the owner is away?
Yes. We deliver to estates, gated addresses and private coastal homes throughout the Hermanus and Overstrand area. We coordinate estate and gated-property access as part of the run.
Do you carry the furniture inside?
Yes. This is a white-glove service — we carry pieces into the room of your choice and position them, rather than leaving them at the door.
Is my delivery insured in transit?
Goods-in-transit insurance is available on request, arranged through a third-party insurer — we set it up as part of your quote.
