More than a few seaside resorts offer whale watching excursions. But at the Marine Hermanus, guests need not leave their rooms to watch the spectacle — this stretch of the southern coast of South Africa is a natural playground for the Southern Right Whales that breach near the shore from July to November. The 45-room resort, built at the turn of the century and restored by Liz McGrath, the proprietress of a series of luxury hotels in the Cape Province, is gracefully furnished and surrounded by exquisite gardens. The Marine’s truly notable feature, however, is and always has been its stunning clifftop location overlooking Walker Bay — you could miss out on half the appeal if you don’t book a suite facing the sea.
That said, if you’re going to be whale watching from your guest room, you might as well be comfortable. Light and airy rooms and suites take their design cues from the natural setting outside with calming highlights of blue and green, and windows that frame the ocean views. Even better, some rooms also come with their own private balcony.
After beach strolls or hiking, guests head to the Carchele Beauty Spa for mud treatments and exfoliating scrubs, to the Sun Lounge for a cocktail with a view, or to the heated saltwater pool. Afternoons can also be spent at the natural tidal pool in front of the hotel — yes, swimming near the whales is possible for several months of the year — and when returning for dinner, guests choose between the Pavilion and Seafood at the Marine.
How to get there:
The Marine Hermanus is approximately a 1 1/4 hour drive from Cape Town International Airport. It is 1 hour 40 minutes from Cape Town City Center.
