Perched on the cliffs, overlooking Hermanus's Walker Bay, The Marine boasts 42 individually decorated bedrooms and suites.

From June to September guests are able to view these majestic creatures from the comfort of their beautiful sea-facing bedroom.

“Amazing elegance”

Reviewed 15 April 2013

I had my daughter with me, and we ordered the High tea for two, in the lounge. The service was fast and friendly on a rather busy saturday morning. Can highly recommend this lite mid morning snack. Good selection of sweet and savoury. Will be back!

“Excellent hotel on the cliff walk in Hermanus”

Reviewed 9 April 2013

I was here with my wife for three nights in January 2013. We loved this hotel, and would return to it. The location is superb, and during the whale-watching season it must be incomparable. Our room was very generous and well-equipped. Dinner was excellent. We really enjoyed the cliff-top walks and the dassies playing in the rocks. We felt the... More

When the Southern Right Whales come into Walker Bay, it is indeed an incomparable sight. Thank you for your positive comments and we apologise for your poor experience in our breakfast room... a matter that has been dealt with. We look forward to your return. Warm regards Hamish Hofmeyr More

“And they even fixed our tire!”

After driving all day from Sanbona Game Reserve, we suffered a flat tire about a block from the hotel. Bummer . . . and it was my husband's birthday, too!! A few local young men were kind enough to put on the spare in a parking lot, but when we casually mentioned it to Hamish, the manager, he immediately told... More
