Perched on the top of the cliff, The Marine hotel is situated at Hermanus in one of the southern hemisphere's most spectacular seascapes. From this enchanting property guests can stroll along the cliff hugging path and enjoy breathtaking views of the Hermanus Bay with nothing between you and the South Pole, other than 3.000 miles (about 5 km) of ocean. Hermanus offers some of the best land-based whale watching in the world and at The Marine you don't even have to get out of bed to experience these amazing creatures! Furthermore, a tidal pool where you can swim as close to 100 meters away from the whales is situated directly in front of the hotel. For those wishing to keep in touch with friends and family, the property offers a private Internet Lounge. Wi-Fi Internet connection is also available in all hotel public areas. The shop at The Marine is situated in the heart of the hotel and offers an extensive range of gifts from local craft items to casual-ware, books and fine jewellery. The Carchele Beauty Spa is an experience not to be missed. A comprehensive list of treatments offers to body and spirit freshness and vitality.
