The Marine Hermanus

The Marine Hermanus is unique in its position, perched high atop the cliffs in one of the most beautiful natural landscapes in Africa. With its understated luxury and sophisticated decor, the hotel boasts 42 luxurious rooms and suites. Spectacular views can be captured from your bedroom window, including the best land-based whale watching in the world. Enjoy coastal walks with exquisite views across Walker Bay, where there is nothing between you and the Antarctic, other than a few thousand miles of ocean. The 'whales-eye' view of the life on the mainland is of a dramatic mountainscape overflowing with African fynbos, the indigenous Cape flora.
