Introduction

Perched on top of the cliffs at Hermanus, The Marine has one of the southern hemisphere's most spectacular seascapes. The Marine has 42 individually decorated bedrooms and suites, each with its own private facilities.

Commanding views extend across Walker Bay or over the beautiful internal courtyard, finely manicured gardens and the Overberg Mountains.

Stroll along the cliff-hugging path and take in our breathtaking views of the Hermanus Bay.

The sparkling, heated courtyard pool might beckon, perfect for catching some African sun or sip a glass of local wine in The Sun Lounge with nothing between you and the South Pole, other than 3,000 miles of ocean.

Hermanus offers some of the best land-based whale watching in the world, and at The Marine, you don't even have to get out of bed to experience these amazing creatures!
