The Marine Hermanus

Lovely location. The hotel was a bit disappointing. The main stair case has a mirror which reflected a wheel chair and luggage trolley whenever you came up and down the stairs. This was not an attractive site and spoilt the standard of the hotel. Our bedroom was a lovely size but the mattress was not that comfortable. In fact I landed up having back ache from it. I didn’t love the fact that the pool is very internal which means there’s no view of the sea when you’re relaxing at the pool. Breakfast is good with lots of choices. It was a good hotel but not amazing. Def have stayed in better places for that money.

The staff are truly the best asset at the hotel. Bed is super comfortable and excellent bedding as expected. Mini bar that is included in night one. Great views from both restaurants. We had dinner one night and it was excellent. The spa is okay. I'd use it again for sure, but nothing memorable. The arrival drinks were a nice touch and when I asked for a pina colada this was quickly catered to. Thanks Bianca! We were offered a room upgrade, and the views were great. Not sure I'd do it again as we spent a lot of time in the common areas, all of which have amazing views. A makeup cloth in the bathroom was a great touch. Especially since I forgot mine at home. Close to Hemel en Aarde valley wine route. Also a mini mall in walking distance. Great restaurants too! Great boutique hotel.

A very comfortable stay in a beautiful hotel with exceptionally attentive and friendly staff. Our room was furnished to a very high standard and was very comfortable. There was a terrace area outside our ground floor room where we could enjoy a pre dinner drink and the restaurant was excellent with a good choice of dishes and an extensive wine list. We would highly recommend this hotel for a relaxing and comfortable stay.

Stunning location! Wonderful staff! This ranks as one of my favourite hotels ever! Overlooking the bay where whales blow and breech before your very eyes. We were privileged to have stayed in room 226 which has a small balcony with seats! We spent several pleasurable hours watching south right whales frolicking in the bay! Amazing, emotional, spectacular - I run out of superlatives. Wonderfully comfortable hotel with kind, attentive staff and so thoughtful when you’ve got a celebration to share. Huge ‘shout out’ to Bianca Goosen, one of the senior staff members who made sure our stay was memorable! And it so was! Thank you!

The Marine is a superb Hotel in a central location of Hermanus with stunning views of the bay. The breakfast menu is excellent with lots of exciting variations and included an outstanding continental breakfast. We stayed in a standard double room which was very comfortable, with kingsize bed, separate bathroom and clean. The bar, lounge and especially the dining room are a delightful. The swimming pool with sun loungers are very well maintained and a great place to relax after a day out exploring all that Hermanus and surrounding wineries has to offer. We loved out stay and will definitely return.
