If you love the sea and sea activities, and you're looking for luxury hotel accommodation, the 5 star Marine in Hermanus is the place to stay on the Cape coast. This outstanding establishment like it's sister hotels, offers fine wining and dining at their exclusive restaurants in addition to superb accommodations and South African hospitality.

Stroll along the cliff hugging path to the golf club and view the miles of white sandy beach beyond. The sparkling, heated courtyard pool might beckon, perfect for catching some African sun. Wile away the remainder of your day in the Reading Room, perfect for quiet contemplation after a busy day's whale watching ... a glass of champagne ... or planning your onward journey.

The Orangery is the place to enjoy a cocktail or even afternoon tea with nothing between you and the South Pole - other than 3,000 miles of ocean... or retire to the Reading Room for warm, cozy fireside evenings during Winter.
