Fabulous Seaside Hotel

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 10 Dec 2024
Our second stay at the Marine Hotel, this time for a full week. We were welcomed by Melissa, the General Manager and her staff.
Our room (230) had a comfortable and beautifully decorated bedroom, a small sitting room with couch, table, tea and coffee making facilities and a mini bar stocked with goodies.
The room had a nice sea view (no whales at this time of year) and on the grass we could see birds, dassies and mongoose.
Breakfast is taken in the Pavilion restaurant and there is a very good selection of cold food and hot specialities to order.
The whole hotel has an air of elegance, the pool area is lovely with a heated pool (a couple of stair ladders would make it easier for older and less agile people to get in and out) and there is a gym and spa.
It is only a couple of minutes into Hermanus town where there is a wide choice of restaurants, shops and amenities.
We are already looking forward to another stay and highly recommend the Marine.
Date of stay: December 2024
Room Tip: All rooms lovely, varying in size. Sea view rooms at a premium especially during the whale season.

Exceptional Experience at The Marine at Hermanus!

Our stay at The Marine was absolutely unforgettable. The location on the sea front is simply spectacular, offering breathtaking views right from our bedroom window. We were incredibly fortunate to witness whales from the comfort of our room, an experience we will cherish forever.

The welcome we received was warm and inviting, setting the tone for a delightful stay. The staff's friendliness and attention to detail made us feel valued and well cared for throughout our visit.

One of the highlights was the lovely afternoon tea. The selection of teas and delectable treats provided a perfect midday indulgence, enjoyed in such a beautiful setting.

Overall, The Marine at Hermanus exceeded our expectations in every way. Highly recommended for an exceptional and memorable stay!

The Marine Hotel is the Best hotel in Hermanus, hands down. The best part of The Marine Hotel is the customer service that truly goes above and beyond to make the guest feel welcome and special. It is in the perfect location, in the heart of the Hermanus and on the cliff path, very secure, huge rooms with the best views of the water, and the best, most accommodating service! This hotel is a must stay while in Hermanus. They went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The breakfast was phenomenal. The treatment even better! A very special thank you to the most amazing Hlumela, who was beyond helpful in making our stay the best, as well as Patrick and Heloise, who showed phenomenal customer service and care. The care and attention provided made us want to return and stay at The Marine anytime we’re in Hermanus. You will not regret choosing to stay at The Marine Hotel! Also, we saw whales from our room!!!

This hotel was like a balm to our souls! Such a beautiful place, right on the coast and so calm. The lovely staff were so friendly and couldn’t do enough for you.
Special mention to Claudia, on reception, such a lovely person.
Marley, in the spa, who gave me the best facial I have ever had and the ever so helpful manageress, whose name we didn’t get. She arranged for another bed in our gorgeous room and we slept like babies for 3 whole days!
The breakfast was second to none and the pool was warm and such a pleasure to swim in.
We loved Hermanus and The Marine Hotel. We will always have special memories of this…

Room tip: If it’s windy outside and you have a sea view room- make sure all your windows are shut tight as they do rattle in the wind.

Our stay at the Marine was excellent. A very relaxed atmosphere with excellent service & wonderful staff. All meals we had were excellent, with an amazing breakfast buffet & cooked options. Our room was spacious, comfortable & quiet. The hotel is right on the cliff top so you can whale watch from the patio. It is also a very short walk to the shops & restaurants of Hermanus. Private parking with security is right next to the hotel.
