Marine 5
A three-suite boutique hotel overlooking Walker Bay in Hermanus
Marine 5 is a three-suite boutique hotel at Stanfords Cove in Hermanus, set between rock and fynbos with views over Walker Bay. Each suite has floor-to-ceiling windows facing the sea, with en-suite bathrooms and space designed for privacy. The property operates on full board, serving South African meals in a dining room that shares the same ocean outlook.
The hotel sits within the Walker Bay Marine Big Five Conservation Area, though whale sightings are not guaranteed. Rooms are furnished with queen beds or larger suite configurations, all with sea views. The small scale means staff can attend to individual needs without the bustle of a larger property.
Guests describe the food as well-prepared, with breakfast and dinner included in the stay. The beach is accessible directly from the property, and the layout ensures each suite has an unobstructed ocean vista. The building's position between rock formations and native fynbos gives it shelter from wind while keeping the focus on the water.
