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.

The Marine Hotel is a wonderful place for a weekend getaway. The cuisine is excellent, the service top notch and the rooms are large and well appointed. Afternoon tea by the fireplace is a must!

True five star. Spotlessly clean and every detail covered. Stayed here for one night with a Newmarket holidays tour. Room was incredible. Bed turned down and a hot water bottle placed in our bed. Breakfast was a delight and what a view. Possibly the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in and I’ve stayed in some brilliant ones. Location is on the cliffs overlooking a cliff lined bay. Idyllic spot and a great early walk along the cliff path. I would definitely recommend

Another special stay at The Marine Hotel! Our favourite in Hermanus. Exceptional service and a warm welcome back. Loves every moment.

I recently had a full knee replacement and needed a change of scenery. Naturally we opted for the Marine, seeing that they are located so centrally in Hermanus and you can actually just book in and spend a day or two at the property. I was very thankful that they moved our room allocation to make it easier on the crutches. The staff are highly trained and extremely friendly! The bar and lounge area is ideal for a long relaxing afternoon drink or high tea. Breakfast is also lovely! And the views of the venue can just not be beaten! Definitely worth a visit!

We stayed at the wonderful Marine Hotel in Hermanus. The welcome we received with a drink and towels was a lovely touch. We were shown to our room which was a side view room. It was a beautiful room with a large bathroom and sitting out terrace. The hotel is immaculate and newly decorated and simply could not fault anything. This is the best hotel I have stayed in full stop. The staff are all wonderful and the food is excellent. We were upgraded to a sea from suite on our last day and our jaws dropped when we saw the room. It was huge and had a separate sitting area with views over Walkers Bay. My wife used the spa which she thought was superb. The location is perfect and Hermanus is a beautiful coastal town. We walked the coastal path which is an excellent way to spend the day. I have to compliment all the staff but particularly Heloïse Abrahams who was so helpful to us and very accommodating. I highly recommend this hotel!
