My and I have been celebrating our 5th year anniversary and The Marine Hermanus Hotel was the best destination to celebrate our anniversary. The scenery was beautiful especially the sunset that gives you a nice view of the beautiful beaches and mountains. The staff was very nice and friendly to us.

The service is the best in the whole of Africa. It was amazing and immaculate rooms together with furniture. We made it a habit of now coming every year to this environment which will help us to bond further as a family. The food was so delicious such that very often my wife talks about the menu we had crave for that.

Upon arrival, we recieved the warmest of welcomes and got a mini tour of the place before heading to our rooms. The rooms were so clean and smelled like lavender. I'd definitely give their breakfast a big 10/10. Their friendly staff make the experience worth it. I'm definitely going again

The most beautiful experience we had with family after a long time no going out. All the kids were excited if the most aming adventure. The hotel was the most beautiful experience from the reception to to the rooms and bedding and the bath after a long drive.
