The Marine Hermanus
Perched on the cliffs of Hermanus, The Marine Hermanus offers elegant accommodation, exquisite dining, and a prime location for whale watching.
The Marine Hermanus is gracefully situated atop the cliffs overlooking Hermanus's captivating Walker Bay, providing an experience of first-class elegance and breathtaking sea views. Its prime location offers expansive vistas across the Western Cape's Walker Bay and beyond.
Each room and suite is uniquely and tastefully decorated, offering magnificent outlooks of either the sea, the majestic mountains, or The Marine's serene internal courtyard and meticulously maintained gardens.
Guests can enjoy a leisurely stroll along the scenic cliff path above Hermanus Bay or take a refreshing dip in the tidal pool located directly in front of the hotel. The hotel also features exquisite dining options and a lounge where you can savor a glass of local wine with an unparalleled view of 3,000 miles of ocean stretching towards the South Pole.
During the whale season, from June to November, Hermanus is renowned for some of the finest land-based whale watching globally. At The Marine, you can witness this spectacular natural event without even leaving your room.
