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.

Wonderful hotel. Everything perfect from decor to the attention to detail. Enjoyed a lovely breakfast on the terrace overlooking the ocean. Would certainly recommend this hotel.

The view from hotel is breathtaking. The hotel is gorgeous. The decor exquisite. The rooms are well equipped.

great location fantastic staff but you could find it expensive for South Africa Im guessing most people will stay 2-5 nights only in which case the menu should be sufficient

The hotel is absolutely charming. Spotlessly clean. Superb food quality and flawless staff. We travel extensively but this hotel deserves the ultimate accolade for its genuine endeavours to satisfy its guests.

This was a fantastic experience in all respects. The group dinner was excellent, the service was super from beginning to end and the location is so good it is hard to describe — so much beauty and many delightful shops and restaurants within steps — although not in whale season we saw some anyway and that was exciting — Hermanus and the Marine Hotel are not to be Missed !
