The Marine Hotel, Hermanus


The owner-managed Marine is one of the southern hemisphere's most spectacular seaside Relais & Châteaux properties. Perched on the cliffs, overlooking Hermanus's Walker Bay, The Marine is home to 42 individually decorated bedrooms and suites.

In addition to its unforgettable setting The Marine offers guests the unique opportunity to experience the finest land-based whale watching in the world. From June to September these majestic creatures can be viewed from the comfort of a beautiful Marine sea-facing bedroom or suite. This centrally located property, which gives guests the unique opportunity to immerse themselves in Hermanus's famous café culture, not only overlooks South Africa's most pristine whale sanctuary. It is also just a stone's throw from one of the greatest densities of the endangered Great White Shark in the world.

In addition to the Marine's commanding 360-degree view of the surrounding seascape, Overberg Mountains and manicured lawns it also boasts a fascinating history that dates back to 1902.

At The Marine the attention to detail is apparent in every aspect of this remarkable property - from the personal service to the exceptional cuisine, the perfect-for-sundowners Sun Lounge and the in-house Carchele Beauty Spa. Each piece of The Marine story adds another element to an unforgettable stay.

Peter Tempelhoff, Grand Chef

My approach to food is simple, "If it is not the best it can be, it doesn't belong on the menu!" It is an approach which I stake my reputation on every day, and one that has garnered me with many enviable awards and accolades over the years.

This approach to cooking is expected and evident in each of the 6 restaurants of Liz McGrath's Collection which I oversee.
