The name Hessequa, meaning "people of the trees", refers to the tribe of Khoikhoi people that used to live in the region. The municipality nestles at the foot of the Langeberg Mountains with boundaries stretching along the Southern Cape coast from the Breede River to Gouritsmond. A region rich in natural beauty with rolling hills of pristine limestone and mountain fynbos, dune thicket and Renosterveld and to the north surrounded with rugged mountains and indigenous forests.

Hessequa Municipality is situated in the Southern Cape Coast on the Garden Route; about 320 km's from Cape Town on the N2 and is situated in the Eden District Municipality between Heidelberg and Mossel Bay. At present, the Municipal area of Hessequa includes the surrounding towns of Riversdal, Heidelberg, Albertinia, Witsand, Gouritsmond, Slangrivier and Stilbaai.
