Full accommodation information

Perched on top of the cliffs at Hermanus this world-class hotel, has one of the southern hemisphere’s most spectacular seascapes.

Take a stroll along the cliff hugging path and take in the breathtaking views of Walker Bay; Hermanus boasts some of the best land-based whale watching in the world and you don’t even have to get out of bed to see these amazing creatures!

Stylish individually decorated Rooms and Suites boast marble bathrooms and commanding views over a courtyard, finely manicured gardens and out over Walker Bay and the Overberg Mountains.

Visit the Carchele Beauty Spa, boasting a range of treatments to soothe the body, mind and spirit that will leave you feeling refreshed and revitalised. Unwind with a massage or re-energise in the steam room or venture down to the tidal pool, where you can swim to within 100m of the whales! Dining at The Marine is magnificent; The Pavilion serves an array of Mediterranean and Eastern cuisine where you can select a bottle of fine wine from the ‘floating cellar’.

Head to the modern Seafood Restaurant where you can savour dishes expertly created using the freshest of ingredients from the ocean in an informal atmosphere or enjoy a light lunch in the Seafood Express One Plate Café.

Relax and soak up the African sunshine, lose yourself in your favourite novel in the Sun Lounge, stretch out by the heated pool or take an invigorating coastal walk or try your hand at a variety of water sports. Your time at The Marine will be precious and your memories you will want to treasure forever.
