The Marine Hermanus
Cliff-top elegance with sea views and direct tidal pool access in Hermanus
About this stay
Perched dramatically on the cliffs of Hermanus, The Marine Hermanus provides a grand base for exploring the Western Cape's coastline. The hotel's prime location means expansive views across Walker Bay are a constant backdrop, whether from your room or the communal areas. Each room and suite is uniquely decorated, offering a choice of vistas from the ocean to the mountains or the tranquil internal courtyard gardens. Days here can be spent strolling the famous cliff path, taking a refreshing dip in the tidal pool directly in front of the hotel, or simply relaxing by the pool. Evenings invite exquisite dining experiences and savoring local wines in the comfortable lounge, all within a setting of refined splendor.

Our take
The Marine Hermanus suits guests who want a five-star cliff-top stay over Walker Bay, with direct access to a tidal pool and the cliff path. Rooms have sea, mountain or garden views, so it is worth requesting the sea side. A spa, a pool, dining options and a lounge for local wines add to the experience. A 9.3 rating from 855 reviews is outstanding. Travellers on a tight budget or wanting a casual beach hotel may find it more formal than they need.

- Take advantage of the direct access to the tidal pool for a unique swimming experience right at your doorstep.
