The breakfast set out on the balcony was lovely. The service was good, however the quality of a couple of items did not match the setting. Orange juice was not freshly made, bacon reheated, eggs cooked as requested.

The property was good except we were disappointed, the reason being even though we booked 2 months ahead of time, the room allocated to us was not at all satisfactory.

Kosie, along with the owner of the accommodation, advised us to stay an extra night, free of charge and to rather travel home when it was safe to do so.
Kosie and Owner, thank you so, so much for concerning yourself about your guests and put their safety ahead of monetary gain. Will definitely return to Hermanus, Voelklip for my next vacation.

Hermanus is a lovely coastal town with a great array of eating and drinking establishments. It has a nice feel about it and i wouldnt worry about walking around it on my own. The views are stunning and during the Whale Watching season it is truly breathtaking. There are some beautiful winerys around and lots to do. If you're coming over from the UK its great value for money.

We often visit Hermanus and love it there.
We often visit Hermanus and love it there. Great beaches, tidal pools, cliff path walk and views and excellent restaurants too.
Super wine farms nearby and other small towns to explore in the region. A great base from which to discover the Overberg region.

Friendliness of everyone was awesome.
Friendliness of everyone was awesome. Everywhere you went you felt safe and welcome. Very easy to get around. Loved the hiking trails. A must-have is comfortable shoes and clothes for all weather types, because you walk a lot and the weather changes very fast.

Beautiful Hermanus never disappoints as there really is...
Beautiful Hermanus never disappoints as there really is something for everyone. If you like the outdoors, there are mountain and sea activities available. For those who enjoy retail therapy, the town also offers a wide range of shopping experiences.
Our stay at One Marine Drive Boutique Hotel was a true delight, leaving us with memories of unparalleled hospitality. The The staff is truly set it apart from the rest. They were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond, making our stay unforgettable. Breakfast surpassed our expectations. If you're seeking an unforgettable stay in Hermanus, this boutique hotel is undoubtedly the perfect choice. Highly recommended. We will be back again and again.
The hotel is located on walking distance from the city center. Room was good with a nice bathroom and breakfast was also good, I did like the pancakes. The host was helpful with giving advice. You can park your car on the property. Wi-Fi is only good for internet not streaming. You can make nice walks along the sea, I spotted a lot of whales. I regret I had only 1 day in Hermanus. You can easily spend more (also at this guest house!).
Tito‘s Omelettes are the best ever eaten! Thanks Tito!
Great and thought through service.
very close by the sea - easy for a swim before breakfast. Towels available at the reception. we also liked the welcome drink at our lovely room with sea view, overlooking the bay over to Hermanus. the board walk along the beach starts riggt in front of the hotel. sunsets are also great to be watched from the balkony.
The hotel is in a beautiful position and the southern right suite is fantastic with perfect sea views! We only stayed one night and that was our biggest regret. Easily could of enjoyed another 2 nights. The room is huge. The fireplace a nice touch.The bathroom impressive. The view from the large window was perfect for whale watching. The breakfast was fantastic. Staff great. Everything was perfect!!
The room/apartment exceeded our expectations in terms of size, decor, views from the room, fireplace, kitchen facilities and the best part it being central to everything in Hermanus. We parked safely right next to our door in gated garage, but we never even used the car, we walked and explored the whole Hermanus from right out of our hotel room/apartment.
The house was open and spacious. We only had one night here, but had we stayed longer we would have made use of the outdoor space. It felt very safe and was quiet. The mall was an easy drive just minutes away to get supplies and we could head back to Cape Town with just a few turns as this is on the far west side of Hermanus.
Kijl met us in Hermanus and we followed him to the apartments, where he collected the keys and made sure that everything is in order. Kijl thank you for you hospitality. Your kindness and the joy that you brought to our lives this weekend. You are a true gentleman and a Soldier of the Heart ❤️ I cannot fault anything.
We loved everything about our stay. The area was so calm and peaceful. The hotel was beautiful, clean and warm. We really enjoyed the breakfast it was colorful and just a great selection. The staff overall was amazing. Welcoming and accommodating. Such a great experience we had in Hermanus. Thank you...
Absolutely stunning place. Well decorated and thought out. The room was comfortable as was the living room. The location doesn’t get much better if you are visiting Hermanus, a quick easy walk to groceries, restaurants and the ocean.
We absolutely loved this hotel. A real 5* feel. The staff were brilliant, the breakfast was delicious and the views from the hotel were fantastic. We didn't pay for a sea view, but it probably would have been worth doing so.
Very friendly staff
Great product - big rooms - very nice architecture
Fantastic sea view
Great bar / restaurant just opposite the hotel located in the coast cliffs
Start of the cliff path (a must) just opposite the hotel
