The Marine, South Africa

Adam Chapman

The Marine is THE hotel to stay in in Hermanus. Its views are utterly breathtaking and it is within walking distance of the beach and the town. It is 5 star luxury at its best with top class food, beautifully decorated rooms and excellent service. A must for a honeymoon or special holiday.

Honeymoon to South Africa during October 2011

The Marine was clearly the best hotel in Hermanus. The rooms were beautiful!!! The staff was so friendly and helpful. This hotel had the best breakfast out of all the hotels we stayed at. We loved staying at this hotel.
