In my opinion, after 50 years of travel in South Africa and 17 countries around the world our experience at "138 Marine" will stay clearly in our minds as we look forward to our return. The warmth and care given us by hosts Louis and Jena was something we have never experienced before. From the moment we arrived we noticed... More

Wow, what an absolute little piece of heaven we found in Sandbaai and especially this peace haven of Jena and Louis. We didn't move away or out of our Oyster suite and the fireplace in the lounge. All the detail and attention to detail from Jena is truly touching. Apart from the pristine location, the beautifully interiored home and the... More

My wife and I recently spent a night at this spotless B&B and throughly enjoyed it. It has everything you could want in a B&B. From friendly hosts to spotlessly clean bedroom,welcome drink,fridge to store any perishables you may have bought,tea/coffee and bottled water and even a glass of cherry as a night cap if so required. The upstairs guests... More

We had a wonderful, though too short, stay at 138 Marine Beachfront Guesthouse in Hermanus in April 2012. The owners Jena and Louis were very accomodating and their hints and tips regarding restaurants, attractions and day trips were extremely useful and precise. If interested one can also talk to them about the history of Hermanus and its surroundings. They readily... More

We enjoyed a wonderful weekend break at the Marine Guesthouse in Sandbaai, which is situated about 4 km outside of Hermanus. Our room faced directly onto the sea, and any closer to the rocks one cannot get. Louis & Jena, made one feel completely at home and served a delicious breakfast. I experienced one of the best sunsets ever!

We spent 2 nights of our Honeymoon at 138 Marine and our overwhelming conclusion was AMAZING!! The ocean views are spectacular, but the real value lies in the personal touch that Louis & Jena add to your total experience. Their knowledge of Hermanus and its surrounds made a lasting impact on us. They received us warmly and were very helpful... More

Had such an amazing stay at 138. Lovely people, we were made to feel so welcome. Wonderful location, waking up with the sea right in front of us is truly unforgettable. A must if you go near this area.

The first thing to say about this guest house is that although the address is Hermanus it's actually about 4 kms from the town of Hermanus. It is however in a lovely position overlooking the sea. Sadly only two of the four rooms on the 1st floor overlook the sea and have small balconies, and I was in a bedroom... More
