The Marine
The Marine is one of South Africa’s most spectacular seaside hotels. Located on Hermanus’ famous cliff path, overlooking the breathtaking Walker Bay in the Western Cape’s Overberg region, this Small Luxury Hotels of the World property is the ultimate location for whale watching during our whale season – most often directly from the comfort of the sea view bedrooms.
Experiences
Shore-Based Whale Watching: Observe Southern Right whales directly from the cliff path or your ocean-view room between June and November.
Cliff Path Walking: Walk the 12-kilometre cliff path running along the coast, connecting local beaches, tidal pools, and fynbos reserves.
Hemel-en-Aarde Wine Tasting: Explore the nearby Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, renowned for cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
Marine & Coastal Outdoor Activities: Access local sea kayaking tours, shark cage diving in Gansbaai, or swimming in the ocean tidal pool directly below the hotel.
