About the Hotel
Perched atop the cliffs at Hermanus, The Marine Hermanus is an urbane sanctuary in a secluded natural setting. This Relais & Chateaux affiliate sits along South Africa(TM)s acclaimed Whale Route, 80 miles east of Cape Town. Nothing but 3,000 miles of ocean drifts between individually decorated accommodations and the South Pole. From a body massage by the tidal pool to a local vintage from the oefloating” wine cellar, each detail at this member of The Collection by Liz McGrath indulges and enchants.

Reviews for The Marine
Room with a View
We only stayed 2 nights, would have loved to stay longer. This quaint hotel has rooms with a view of the bay. We saw the migrating whales from our room. The decor is beautiful, beds very comfortable and the breakfast not to be missed.

Fabulous hotel
The Marine is a fabulous hotel in a stunning location. We stayed in some beautiful hotels during our two weeks in South Africa and The Marine was the pinnacle. Every single staff member was superb - from security at the entrance, the porter who took our bags to our room, the lovely reception staff, the travel desk who helped us with problems with non hotel bookings, the bar and restaurant staff and Heloise the manager. Our room was beautiful and the food at breakfast and lunch was lovely. What topped everything was on our last day. Heloise sought us out at breakfast to thank us for staying and to wish us well. In a passing comment I mentioned that we were going to stay in Hermanus until about 2pm before driving to Cape Town airport and she then went away to check something and came back to say that we could stay in our room free of charge until 2pm. What a lovely end to our holiday as we enjoyed another stroll along the cliffs before returning for lunch at the hotel and then freshened up for the long trip back to the uk. Customer service at its very best as it takes a lot for every staff member to be so friendly and welcoming.

A charming hotel, beautifully appointed, with some of the most comfortable beds we have ever slept in! Service from all staff from start to finish was excellent. Breakfast was top notch with excellent range and quality

Charm and elegance
The Marine is absolutely beautiful. With such charm and comfort to every detail. Our room was amazing, with views of the water and breaching whales every time we looked out. Every little detail was never missed, to the heated towel rack.

Gracious hotel with a perfect location and impeccable service
It would be hard to find a better location for a hotel stay in Hermanus. That aside, you'll enjoy staying in a beautifully decorated, gracious hotel and you'll experience impeccable service from the time you drive in to the time you leave. We were suitably impressed and will definitely be return visitors.
