Myself and my girlfriend spent this last weekend at the Marine. All told the experience was fantastic! The food at the pavilion was of the highest quality, and the staff made us feel very comfortable. We then spent the morning at the Spa, and had a brilliant experience with Tina and Desiree. This is definitely the place to stay when visiting Hermanus, and we will most definitely be back. Many thanks for your awesome hospitality!

Spent 2 nights at this very welcoming hotel. Stylish and comfortable, wonderful, warm, friendly staff and excellent services such as hot water bottles, fresh flowers and a paper each day tailored to news from your country of origin. Whilst the supposedly excellent seafood restaurant was undergoing renovations we could not fault the standard of food and presentation in the Pavillion restaurant - the chef's brilliant! Also a great central location for for clifftop walk and shops and restaurants.

Spent one night at the Marine and wished I had time to stay longer. The property was lovely, the rooms all one could ask for the the location very convenient to walking in town and viewing the whales. I do think it a bit expensive considering the area although I doubt there is other accommodation of this standard in Hermanus. If you want to see the whales and treat yourself to a high quality hotel then the Marine is a good choice.

We spent a weekend night at the Marine and it was a real treat. The Marine is a beautiful property in the perfect position in Hermanus. Every aspect of our stay was great: from the upgraded suite with the sea view, relaxing drinks in the tranquil bar, delicious dinner in their stylish restaurant, to the friendliness and efficiency of the staff.

We stayed at the Marine on the 26th April, our wedding night and the hotel went to every effort to make us feel special. We were upgraded, congratulated, met by the Manager and given a free bottle of excellent champagne as well as chocolates and a fruit basket. The room was luxurious and comfortable with a lovely view of the mountains and sea. The room also had a view facing balcony. The staff are warm, friendly but still polite and unobtrusive. Our car was given a complimentary wash which was the cherry on top of the perfect service. The linen, towels, bed and room accessories are very much of a 5 star standard. The location of the hotel is perfect - right on the cliff edge. The breakfast was very good in a smart but relaxed restaurant with gorgeous view. We would loved to have stayed longer and will most certainly return next time we visit South Africa. We recommended the hotel to our wedding guests (who had all travelled to Hermanus) and a few of them ate dinner at the hotel & there were many comments of 'best evers' especially with regards to the fish. We travel extensively and particularly appreciate that one of the most important times in our life was treated as that. Thank you Marine for a very happy memory.
