Our stay at The Marine Hermanus was truly exceptional. The hotel is elegant and beautifully located, offering stunning ocean views – we were even lucky enough to watch whales right from our room, which made the experience unforgettable. The room was spacious, spotless, and extremely comfortable, creating the perfect setting for a relaxing getaway. The restaurant exceeded our expectations with delicious food and excellent presentation, while the staff were incredibly professional, welcoming, and attentive to every detail. Their warmth and hospitality made us feel genuinely cared for. Overall, everything was simply outstanding – from the breathtaking views and whale watching to the fine dining and world-class service. We would highly recommend The Marine to anyone visiting Hermanus.

What a tastefully decorated guest house with exceptionally friendly and efficient staff. We watched whales from our breakfast table, could safely walk to the beautiful beaches, enjoyed delicious meals in town, as well as great wine experiences a few km’s away - and the suggested taxi service was safe and friendly.

Let me start this review with a little spoiler: we had originally booked just one night, as a stopover on our road trip along the Garden Route. Well, barely 20 minutes after our arrival — after the tour of our room and the entire hotel, all the way to the terrace with that breathtaking view — we booked an extra night. It was love at first sight with Birkenhead House! What a hotel! How often do you still see that these days, by the way: people taking the time to show you not just your room, but the whole hotel? You can really feel how proud everyone here is — and rightly so! Having all meals and drinks included in the rate is also an incredible asset. And rest assured, no crowded buffets here, but friendly and discreet table service for your meals, as well as in the lounges or out on the terrace for a drink. Top-notch! Oh, and excellent beds too, featuring the best sleep aid in the world: the sound of the ocean! It’s actually that unique blend of the true boutique hotel atmosphere (a term that’s often overused but absolutely fitting here), the in-cre-di-ble location perched on the cliffs with (literally!) views of breaching whales behind the surfers, the intimacy, the delicious food & drinks, the stunning views from almost every spot, and — above all! — the wonderful staff, that make this hotel so exceptional. A huge thank you to the entire team for making our stay at Birkenhead House an absolute highlight of our trip! (...and thank God our room was available for that extra night!) :-)

What to begin with. This place is simply amazing. I think the best place we stayed on our journey to western cape. We were lucky and we got upgraded so our room was huge with biggest bed ive slept on. I think the bed was 220cm so really huge. Whole place was simply amazing. I dont know why overall rate is below 9 to be honest. It was very fancy and nice. This place had 2 poold one huge pool with garden area and one little more private where we actually were alone all the time We stayed there 2 night and we charged our batteries very very much. We will definetely come back to this place because it was simply outstanding

Our stay was magical, the location is magical! The property is right in front of the socean, we could hear the waves all the time and spot whales from our terrace. It is right on top of this beautiful path you can take along the coast. The property is not affected by loadshedding. As a family with three small children we felt welcomed. The owners are really nice people.

We very much enjoyed our stay in this French Provençal-styled boutique hotel. We had two rooms, both of which were extremely comfortable. The beds and bed linen were superb and the staff very pleasant and professional. There was coffee and tea in the room as well as a snack, plus a minibar and luxury toiletries. The breakfast was delicious. We can highly recommend.

Come to Hermanus for the sea views and shore walks. You MAY see a whale or two. Lovely drives with restaurants and coffee shops up and down the coast. Excellent mall for all your shopping needs. Interesting shops in the main street area. Well worth a stop to visit. The Hemel en Aarde valley is spectacular and Bosman's Winery is a must for wine tasting and charcuterie boards.

What a wonderful town, we visited 30 years ago and had to go back for our anniversary just to discover how much it expanded! We were priviledged to see whales and loved the Waterfront and surrounding restaurants. Absolutely loved the Hemel en Aarde Valley with surrounding wine farms, loved La Vierge and they made it so special when they heard it was our anniversary, brought us champagne to celebrate.

Hermanus is a stunning little town that we thoroughly enjoyed exploring! From the charming shops in the city centre to the wonderful restaurants and cafes, it truly is a special place to visit. We walked along the cliffs, admired the beautiful flowers, and watched so many whales enjoying the bay - whale season is truly a unique and unforgettable experience. We had a delicious dinner at Char’d and will definitely be back! We also visited some incredible wine farms, including Hamilton Russell Vineyards, La Vierge Wines, and Bouchard Finlayson Winery, to name a few. We loved the Hermanus Saturday market and found it easy to get around the town, especially if you have your own car. Hermanus is definitely a place worth visiting.
