My family and I stayed one night over a very busy long weekend. The hotel staff was friendly, helpful and organised. Our rooms were beautiful and luxurious. The staff was very helpful in organising out-of-hotel transport, quick checkout, etc. Although the seafood restaurant was expensive, the food and service was excellent with well stocked wine list.

We have stayed at this hotel many times, we think about seven or eight, and have just booked again for February 2013. Every member of staff from manager to gatekeeper has the guests best interests at heart and by some miracle, not only always remember your name, but what you did yesterday and remember to ask you about it.

We just returned from spending Easter weekend at this fantastic hotel. I simply can't fault the level of service, food, location, room quality etc. etc. etc. We had our 2-year old son with us and the staff doted on him all the way through, including special little treats on his pillow at nightime. We were also welcomed with a bottle... More

I had a one-night stay in this hotel as part of a self-drive holiday along the Garden Route, and am kicking myself that I didn't stay longer in this beautiful hotel. Each of the rooms is decorated differently, and whilst the blue delft curtains in my room didn't gel with me, the bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom practical... More

My wife and I have just returned from a fantastic holiday in South Africa, where we visted Jo'burg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Crags (near Plettenberg Bay), Fransshoek and Hermanus. In Hermanus we returned to The Marine, a delightful hotel that overlooks Walker Bay. I must confess stayed here in 2009 and we wanted to return. On parking the car we were... More

We stayed at The Marine, Hermanus, for 2 nights last Easter holidays and it was abit of a respite from endless staying with relatives. Sadly the weather was shocking when we were there but to be honest, after a freezing, rain soaked, windy walk on the beach, there is not a hotel in South Africa where I would have rather... More

It was a pleasure having you with us last year. I hope we see you again in 2012 during our famous whale season between the months of August and November. Watching these denizens of the deep from the privacy of your own room is an experience of a lifetime... and an everyday occurrence at The Marine during the season. Warm... More

In our recent trip to South Africa, this hotel stood out as the friendliest, most elegant and best located of all the hotels we stayed in.
